New York Legal News Round Up

I'm enjoying this absolutely beautiful Wednesday as I blog from my deck and my kids swing on the swing set in the backyard.  I think that Spring has finally arrived in Upstate New York. 

Of course, legal news remains abundant despite the wonderful weather, so what follows are interesting  New York law-related headlines from the past week:

• NY judge urges settlement in lawsuit over Harry Potter guide (AP)

• NYPD settles suit claiming abuses at 2003 anti-war protest (AP)

• New York sues feds over new Medicaid rule (AP)

• Court OKs NYC calorie-count rule for restaurants (Reuters)

• 2nd Circuit Clarifies Civil Rights Fee Award Scheme (NY Law Journal)
