This Day in Legal History: Slobodan Milosevic Trial BeginsOn this day in legal history, the trial of Slobodan Milosevic, a pivotal figure in the Balkan civil wars of the 1990s, commenced on February 12, 2002, at The Hague, The Netherlands. Held at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), this landmark case marked a significant moment in international law. Milosevic, who once held the presidency of Yugoslavia, faced charges that were both grave and far-reaching. Indicted on sixty-six counts, the charges against him included war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity, reflecting the severe impact of the conflicts that tore through the Balkans. The trial itself became a focal point for global attention, symbolizing the international community's commitment to holding leaders accountable for their actions. However, the proceedings were abruptly halted by the untimely death of Milosevic due to a heart attack, leaving the case without a formal verdict. Despite its inconclusive end, the trial of Slobodan Milosevic remains a cornerstone in the pursuit of justice for victims of the Balkan wars and underscores the complexities of applying international law in cases of mass atrocities.Corporate boards are increasingly facing legal battles with activist investors due to the implementation of stringent advance-notice bylaws, designed to complicate the nomination of rival board members. These legal disputes, involving companies like Halliburton Co. and Peloton Interactive Inc., question the extent to which boards can enforce these bylaws to exclude activist nominees from shareholder ballots. The bylaws, seen as a reaction to regulatory changes and a Delaware Supreme Court ruling that lessened scrutiny of potentially disenfranchising measures, have been criticized for their potential to be "weaponized" against dissidents. Recent court cases, including a notable decision involving AIM Immunotech Inc., have resulted in mixed rulings, indicating a complex legal landscape ahead. These bylaws are challenged for various reasons, from their use to uncover conflicts of interest to allegations of being used to unfairly disqualify nominees. The legal community is divided on whether overreaching provisions should invalidate the entire set of bylaws or just be selectively struck down. The ongoing litigation reflects a broader struggle over the balance of power between corporate boards and shareholders, hinting at future legal developments that may redefine the rules of engagement for corporate governance.Activist Investors Confront ‘Weaponized' Board Nomination BylawsA U.S. judge has mandated that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), testify in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) investigation into his acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion. This order, issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler, follows Musk's refusal to attend a scheduled interview in September as part of the SEC's examination into his compliance with legal requirements during the takeover, specifically concerning the filings related to his Twitter stock purchases and the accuracy of his statements about the deal. Musk contested the SEC's request, claiming harassment and arguing that he had already been interviewed twice. However, Judge Beeler dismissed Musk's objections, affirming the SEC's right to subpoena him for information pertinent to their investigation. This legal development is part of a broader history of friction between Musk and the SEC, dating back to a 2018 lawsuit over Musk's tweets about potentially taking Tesla private.US judge orders Elon Musk to testify in SEC's Twitter probe | ReutersIn late 2023, law firms experienced a notable financial turnaround, buoyed by significant rate growth and an uptick in demand for countercyclical services, which thrive during economic downturns. According to the Thomson Reuters Law Firm Financial Index, which monitors key financial indicators across 173 large and midsize firms, there was a year-over-year increase in profits during the fourth quarter, contrasting with the declines observed in 2022. Specifically, the Am Law 100 firms saw a 6% rise in profits-per-equity partner, while Am Law 200 firms enjoyed a 2.5% increase, and midsize firms witnessed a marginal 0.3% uptick in profitability.This recovery, however, did not reach the double-digit profit growth rates of 2020 and 2021, marking a period of recalibration for the industry. Law firms demonstrated resilience by aggressively adjusting their rates and managing expenses, particularly those related to associate compensation. The overall demand for law firm services rose nearly 2%, driven by strong performance in litigation and bankruptcy sectors, which saw increases of 3% and over 6%, respectively. Labor and employment demand also went up by nearly 3%.However, lawyer productivity is on a downward trend, with average billing hours per month dropping to 115 in the fourth quarter of 2023, the lowest since at least 2005. This decline is attributed to the impact of technology and the use of alternative fee arrangements, which decouple hours worked from firm profitability. The industry faces challenges in boosting productivity amid stable demand and headcount, setting the stage for a volatile 2024 with continued staffing and technological risks.Law firms' profits rebounded in late 2023 amid robust rate growth | ReutersDan Webb, a prominent lawyer from Winston & Strawn who has defended Fox News and Boeing Co., is actively supporting the centrist political group No Labels in its effort to launch a third-party "unity" ticket that combines a Republican and a Democrat for the 2024 election. This initiative is driven by a desire to offer Americans an alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump, amidst criticism that it could inadvertently benefit Trump. Webb, who identifies as a moderate Republican and has a long history of involvement in politics, including serving as US attorney for Illinois' Northern District appointed by Ronald Reagan, is volunteering for No Labels. He has participated in strategy discussions and is helping to vet candidates for a potential nominating convention. Despite the potential for political backlash and amidst a broader context where law firms are wary of political entanglements, Webb is committed to the cause, citing the unpopularity of both Biden and Trump and the need for a new choice in leadership. No Labels has made progress in getting on the presidential ballot in 15 states, with decisions about a third-party candidacy to be made after Super Tuesday in March. However, the group's efforts have attracted lawsuits and criticism, with accusations of being a threat to democracy and engaging in a "bait and switch" with donors. Webb's involvement exemplifies his lifelong interest in politics and represents a significant move in the current polarized political landscape.Trump, Biden Alternative Urged by Lawyer for Fox News and Boeing Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Questions arose about the impartiality of an arbitrator after he accepted appointments from one of the parties in other disputes and failed to disclose them. The Supreme Court had to decide whether this amounted to a real possibility of bias or if a new arbitrator should be appointed instead.

Markets roar higher due to options trading in the back ground, potential for more stimulus, good to see the green again. This is how the 11 stock market sectors are doing in 2020 compared against 2019 (% as of September 28, 2020): 11. Energy, -48.56% Companies in the energy sector explore, produce, refine, and market fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Every company associated with the above, whether selling equipment to explore natural gas or refine oil, is also considered part of the energy sector. For example, companies include Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Kinder Morgan (KMI), and Halliburton Co. (HAL) 10. Financials, -15.59% Companies in the financial sector deal with money, whether that be banking, capital markets, consumer finance, financial services, insurance, mortgages, or thrifts. When the finance sector collapses, others usually follow. This is one reason why the government bailed out several banks during the 2008 financial crisis (and why they’ve done so several times in the past). For example, companies include Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Visa (V), and PayPal Holdings (PYPL). 9. Real Estate, -11.42% Companies in the real estate sector include equity real estate investment trusts, and real estate management and development. One of the fastest-growing sectors in recent decades is real estate. With gains of around 97% since 2007. For example, companies include Redfin Corp. (RDFN), American Tower Corp. (AMT), and Simon Property Group (SPG). CHECK OUT: 5 low-risk investment opportunities right now. 8. Utilities, -8.97% Companies in the utility sector include electric utilities, gas utilities, renewable electricity producers, and water utilities. This highly regulated sector means the government keeps profit in check. Ensuring massive monopolies don’t charge ridiculous amounts for provinces that aren’t near water or power-plants. For example, companies include NextEra Energy (NEE), Duke Energy (DUK), and Exelon Corp. (EXC). 7. Industrials, -0.69% Companies in the industrial sector include aerospace, defense, air freight, airlines, building products, commercial services, construction, engineering, industrial conglomerates, machinery, marine industries, road, rail, and transportation infrastructure. The industrial sector includes many iconic blue-chip U.S. companies and an ideal place to do due diligence for long-term stock investments. For example, companies include Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), General Electric Co. (GE), and Caterpillar (CAT). 6. Consumer Staples, +4.07% Companies in the consumer staples sector include beverages, food retail, food products, household products, personal products, and tobacco. Due to the fact people always need products like toilet paper, soap, shampoo, etc., companies classed as offering consumer staples can make good long-term investments. That’s if they’re a popular and trusted brand or premises. So always do your due diligence. For example, companies include Coca-Cola Co. (KO), Procter & Gamble Co. (PG), and Walmart (WMT) 5. Materials, +8.63% Companies in the materials sector include chemicals, construction, containers, packaging, metals, mining, and forest products (paper). If the company turns raw materials into useful components, whether processed or natural, it is likely part of the materials’ stock market sector. For example, companies include Vale S.A. (VALE), Ecolab (ECL), and Rio Tinto (RIO). 4. Health Care, +14.45% Companies in the health care sector include biotechnology, equipment, supplies, providers, technology, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals. Health care falls into two categories, the application of services, technology, and medicine, or the creation of services, technology, and medicine. Like a few other sectors, health care is growing faster than the national economy. For example, companies include Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Pfizer (PFE). CHECK OUT: 10 stocks to watch if you’re on a budget of $10 or less. 3. Communication services, +14.73% Companies in the communication services sector include telecommunications, entertainment, interactive media, media, and wireless telecommunications.

For example, companies include Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), Walt Disney Co. (DIS), and Verizon Communications (VZ). 2. Consumer Discretionary, +26.02% Companies in the consumer discretionary sector include communication equipment, electronic equipment, components, IT services, semiconductors, software, technology hardware, including storage and peripherals. Also known as the consumer cyclical sector, it encompasses everything that isn’t a day-to-day consumer necessity. For example, companies include Carnival Corp. (CCL), Grubhub (GRUB), and Lululemon Athletica (LULU). 1. Information Technology, +43.32% Companies in the information technology sector include automobile components and services, distributors, consumer services, hotels, restaurants, leisure, household durables, internet marketing, direct marketing, multiline and specialty retail, plus textiles, apparel, and luxury goods.

CEO Jeff Miller says Halliburton's strategy hasn't changed as the company positions itself for the recovery. “I am an oil and gas bull. I believe in this business and I believe in this industry.” Jeff Miller, chairman, president and CEO of Halliburton Co., spoke with Hart Energy's Jessica Morales about Halliburton's near- and long-term plans plus an outlook for the oilfield services sector as a whole. “The strategy is the same and I think what that should tell you is we have our eyes firmly fixed on the future,” Miller said while commenting on Halliburton's recent decision to slash its quarterly dividend by 75%. “Those are near-term things that we do to manage liquidity, also pay down debt which we know we want to do, and continue to support the technology programs and things that are so important so that, when we do see the recovery, Halliburton will absolutely be in the best position to come roaring out of the downturn or into the recovery. But it takes solid liquidity to make all of that happen and those are the steps you are seeing us take.” Additionally, Miller said Halliburton, one of the world's largest oilfield service companies, is implementing a North America strategy that lowers its cost. “We are adopting a lot of digital in our processes much faster than we have ever done before,” he said.

It’s Oscars season and we’re reviewing the Academy’s big category picks. ‘Vice’ (starring Christian Bale) is directed by Adam McKay and has nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Bale), Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell), Best Supporting Actress (Amy Adams), Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and more. The synopsis: Governor George W. Bush of Texas picks Dick Cheney, the CEO of Halliburton Co, to be his Republican running mate in the 2000 presidential election. No stranger to politics, Cheney's impressive résumé includes stints as White House chief of staff, House Minority Whip and defence secretary. When Bush wins by a narrow margin, Cheney begins to use his newfound power to help reshape the country and the world. We put the movie through our critically acclaimed rating system, which grades based on four categories: 1. Did we like it? 2. How did everyone look? 3. Will we steal stuff from it? 4. Is it problematic?

So this one was another one of those movies that I hoped I would learn from as well as observe how so many government politicians welded power. Sitting through this I almost forgot about the corruption of the Bush administration as well as how our government was infiltrated by power hungry bureaucrats. Pretty amazing satire of true events of Dick Cheneys life.

Halliburton Co. is consulting with numerous external advisers to help understand the 2017 tax overhaul, especially provisions for which the IRS hasn’t issued final rules. The law cut Halliburton’s effective tax rate by 10 percent this year and gave the company a more level playing field against its foreign-based competition. Still, it presents continuing business-planning challenges as the new tax code provisions are fleshed out. Myrtle Jones, Halliburton’s senior vice president of tax, joins Bloomberg Tax to discuss how the company is reacting to regulatory challenges and how diversity can drive company innovation.
