Dallas Morning News – Ira Tobolowsky: Law, Love, Loyalty the Essence of Dallas Lawyer Found Dead in ‘Suspicious’ Fire

As a teenager, he delighted in mischievously putting his older sister’s bras in the freezer before her date nights. As a young attorney, he argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, beating a loaded government legal team led by future Justice Samuel Alito Jr. As a single man, he turned down a date with the reigning Miss Universe and instead opted for a first date with a neighborhood girl and they would be married 39 years.

Until Friday the 13th, when his colorful 68-year-old life ended prematurely on the floor of the garage in his North Dallas home. This much is known: There was a fire, and firefighters found his dead body. Other circumstances remain shrouded in mystery two weeks later.

New Federal Overtime Pay Rules Will Impact More Workers in Texas Than Any Other State

The U.S. Department of Labor recently finalized its controversial changes to federal overtime pay exemption rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These changes are expected to affect approximately 1.2 million employees in Texas – more than any other state. Fisher & Phillips partner Michael V. Abcarian explains why and how general counsel should immediately begin working with employers to comply by the Dec. 1 deadline to implement the new policies, which will more than double the minimum salary needed to be exempt from overtime pay.

  • P.S. — Barnes & Thornburg Foundation Awards $50K Grant to Dallas-Area Nonprofit - In this packed edition of P.S., we highlight the charitable giving of the Barnes & Thornburg Foundation, collectively funded by firm lawyers and staff. Each year, five firm offices are selected to direct grants to charities in their local communities. The Dallas office was chosen this year, and it awarded a $50,000 grant to Project XVI, a Dallas-area nonprofit helping children identified as belonging to at-risk communities. Their work addresses problems that most people would drive by, said Barnes & Thornburg Dallas managing partner Thomas Haskins. Read on for more about what drew the firm to Project XVI. 

    Also in P.S., we report on fundraising efforts to endow a scholarship in memory of the 8-year-old twin daughters of attorneys John and Lacy Lawrence who were lost in last summer’s Hill Country floods. 

    Plus, Dallas was the site of the 47th Annual Texas High School Mock Trial Competition, Houston prepares to host Law Rocks and more.

  • My Five Favorite Books: Allison Cook (Partner at Reese Marketos) - When I started practicing law, reading for pleasure took on another hurdle: I was intellectually intimidated. I assumed all lawyers were reading the likes of Kafka, Proust, and Tolstoy for fun. And after spending my days reading case law and briefs, the last thing I wanted to do was crack open Anna Karenina. So I simply didn’t read anything.

    Now I confidently crack open yet another Frieda McFadden thriller next to my insanely intellectually curious husband, who is reading yet another Dostoevsky book. Ten years ago, that might have made me self-conscious. Now it just makes me laugh.
