Litigation partner and First Amendment expert Doug Mirell authored "Did Dominion dominate Fox?," a column published by the Los Angeles Daily Journal. In his column, Mirell addressed the $787.5 million settlement that Dominion Voting Systems will receive as a result of resolving its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News Network and its parent entity, Fox Corporation.

Excerpts

"The Dominion settlement certainly represents a windfall for State Street Capital, the private equity fund that owns Dominion. Given its 76% ownership stake in Dominion, State Street is poised to see a 1,442% return on its initial investment."

"According to all press reports, Dominion did not procure any form of retraction, correction, or apology from FNN or FC. This inexplicable omission flies in the face of what one typically sees in publicly disclosed out-of-court defamation settlements...In this case, paying $787.5 million apparently means never having to say you're sorry."

Sterling v. City Of Jackson And The Limits Of Substantive Due Process In Environmental Harm Cases

The Fifth Circuit's en banc decision in Sterling v. City of Jackson tests whether residents exposed to lead-contaminated municipal drinking water can sue under Section 1983 for substantive due process violations. In a 10-5 ruling, the court held that environmental harms caused by government mismanagement belong to tort law and the political process, not constitutional claims, creating a significant circuit split with implications for how environmental compliance failures by public officials are litigated.

First Circuit Affirms Dismissal Of Putative Class Action Against Pharmaceutical Company

The First Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed the dismissal of a securities fraud class action against a biopharmaceutical company, ruling that literally true statements about clinical trial results were not actionable half-truths under securities law. The decision centered on whether the company's statements about the absence of retinal vasculitis cases in drug trials were misleading, despite following FDA-approved protocols that plaintiffs argued were insufficient to detect the condition.
