Coudert on the rocks

Isham, Lincoln & Beale, Lord, Day & Lord -- and now another of the fabled names in law practice seems about to pass into history.  The New York Law Journal reports that partners at Coudert Brothers, the pioneer international law firm, have voted to break the firm up and let the various pieces merge with other firms.  Coudert was founded in 1853; its international practice dates to the opening of its Paris office in 1879.
