Ruling Compels Taxes on Insurance by Legal Groups
A 6-1 Supreme Court ruling taxes income earned by non profits selling group insurance to members, affecting about 310,000 American Bar Association lawyers and denying deductions for premiums.

The ruling also addressed Texaco bond risks, air controllers, a Miami judge probe, and other systemic issues.
