Washington, DC
On 5 April, Attorney Scott Raymond Maucere, was admitted on motion to practice before the Court of International Trade and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Mr. Maucere, managing member of southeast boutique law firm Maucere Law Group LLC, was sworn in before the two courts in special session at the historic US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit complex, which includes the landmark Dolly Madison House on Lafayette Square.
The Court of International Trade hears cases involving customs disputes, tariffs and duties, and other trade litigation. The CIT sits in New York City. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit also has a very limited jurisdiction, and hears appeals from the CIT, as well as appeals on trademark and other issues. The CAFC sits in Washington, DC.
Both courts have jurisdiction related to Mr. Maucere’s international practice. Says Maucere: “Admission to these courts allows me to engage in international trade litigation, which expands the level of services that I can provide my clients without having to go to Chicago or New York. There’s not many firms in the region that can offer that.”
Information regarding the CIT and the CAFC can be found at http://www.cit.uscourts.gov/ and http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/.

Carrie Lukas has a fascinating article in the Wall Street Journal asserting that there is no systematic wage gap between genders. She argues that any overall differences can be explained by data showing that men, on average, work more and are willing to trade more quality of life for wages than women.
Even assuming that her data and analysis is accurate, bear in mind that her arguments only apply to the averages. Wage discrimination can and does still occur in some situations, against either gender. Remember also that the alleged wage gap, true or not, is perceived by many, and a smart employer will want to ensure that the perceptions of differences are avoided just as well as the employer avoids actual differences.
