Judging by the recent news, some or all of the following is possible IMO:

1) News may be coming on new alliances and deals...they seem to really be setting up a great network and startegy. THe NOVA thing is pretty telling (story #2)

2) They may have news of some new mergers or acquisitions...they have an amazing amount of geographic-based legal firms to assist in this (story #3)

3) There may be good news on the lawsuit involving $68 million in damages sought? Longshot buy maybe a settlement?

This company sure sounds like a Professional operation, IMO, but what do I know....comments?
