I am doing a complete overhaul for a client who want to, of course, have his site ranked highly, but he also wants a report of an old lawsuit (that was thrown out of court) moved down into the 10-20 PR of Google. He knows he's stuck with it, it's the public record of the court. He just wants it on page 2 of Google instead of being the number one listing. This thing is over 10 years old, and other Google listings that lead to him (from New York Metro, NPR, Habitat Magazine, other good sites) consistantly get ranked lower. What's the deal? Is someone doing something to get the PR on the lawsuit higher? Can I not only bump up the personal site I'm putting up for him, but some of these other links as well, to push the lawsuit down?

Thanks for any info.
