Texas, Mar. 17, 2008 — What if you could see your attorney in court as an option to assess his skills? Texas law firm Winstead PC now features video web casts of attorneys from the Appellate Practice Group on the firm’s Web site at www.winstead.com.

The new Web casts, available on the Appellate Practice Group page of Winstead’s Web site, give Winstead the opportunity to demonstrate the strength and expertise of the firm’s Appellate Practice Group’s attorneys as they represent recent cases before the Supreme Court of Texas.

Currently, there are five web casts posted online from within the last six months in which Winstead attorneys present an oral argument on behalf of their clients before the Supreme Court of Texas. These Web casts are sponsored and hosted by St. Mary’s University School of Law, as part of an effort underway to catalog oral arguments.

Winstead’s Appellate Practice Group is led by Craig Enoch, retired Texas Supreme Court Justice, and William “Bud” Arnot, retired Chief Justice of Texas 11th District Court of Appeals. Both Enoch and Arnot lend a vast reserve of experience and knowledge to the practice group. Winstead’s Appellate Practice Group achievements include hundreds of published opinions that have set precedents, changed legal standards and procedures and shaped Texas law. The group has proficiency in complex financial, business, insurance, government and land use litigation of national and regional significance.

According to Enoch, “Allowing clients to view our appellate lawyers in action will give them the chance to see first-hand the dedication and experience we employ in arguing on behalf of our clients.”

COLCHESTER, Conn., March 17, 2008 LAWFUEL – Legal Newswire — Recent reports by The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. (NYSE:BSC) have driven the price of Bear Stearns stock to roughly 99% below what it was just months ago. On behalf of Bear Stearns Employee Stock Ownership Plan participants,
Scott+Scott, LLP is investigating potential attendant violations of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The investigation concerns whether fiduciaries at Bear Stearns who managed the Bear Stearns Employee Stock Ownership Plan breached fiduciary duties owed to retirement Plan participants. A fiduciary breach may have occurred if the fiduciaries failed to manage the assets of the Plan prudently and with loyalty by investing Plan assets in Company stock when it was no longer an appropriate investment for employees at the firm. Unfortunately, employees at Bear Stearns who had money invested in Bear Stearns stock have seen their holdings in company stock drop by over 99%, wiping out a huge portion of their retirement savings.

Scott+Scott is also investigating several other financial firms for
possibly breaching their ERISA-mandated duties, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Wachovia Corp. (NYSE:WB). Members of the 401(k) plans of these companies have also seen their retirement holdings in company stock drop by more than 50%.

If you are a member of the Bear Stearns Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or a member of any of the 401(k) plans at either Bank of America or Wachovia, and wish to discuss this action or have questions concerning this notice or your rights, please contact Scott+Scott (scottlaw@scott-scott.com, (800) 404-7770, (860) 537-5537) or visit the
