They would state their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.”Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nations deadliest terrorist attack. The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site.Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,” Fenstermaker said.“Their assessment is negative,” he said.Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves.Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sundays editions.Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform.Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the courts and the federal judge may govern the trial. The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in the past.”1.

About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.Project billing for routine issuesIf your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, dont hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.Results-oriented options“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.Multi-layered tasksIf youre shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter.This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partners hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.Legal “Insurance”The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action.1.
