What a horrible lesson to teach students.
The case originated in a dispute last spring about the Burlington school’s Jamfest, a battle of the bands that Doninger helped coordinate. Frustrated that it was not going ahead as planned, Doninger wrote on her livejournal.com Weblog that “Jamfest is canceled due to the douchebags in central office.” She [...]
Is Marlborough in Hartford, New London, Tolland or Middlesex County?
These are the practical issues Connecticut attorneys wrestle with each and every day.
I have this map of Connecticut Towns and Counties saved to my favorite webpages.
About a dozen times a year, I look up where a town is and what county it’s in.
Marlbourogh is in Hartford County.
From the map [...]
Does technology really make our lives easier? I think the answer is yes but sometimes I wonder.
I have a hunch how some of the lawyers involved in a sex discrimination case against General Electric would answer the question.
The Connecticut Law Tribune has this story (free online) about how plaintiff’s counsel thought they had redacted documents [...]
This weekend I was flipping through my copy of “The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Practicing Law.”
This book is a must read for any law student or young associate.
I was reading the chapter in the book when the Curmudgeon discusses manners and technology.
The Curmudgeon rails against people who don’t repeat their names and phone numbers in voice mails.
I live [...]
Connecticut General Statutes Section 1-4 designates the last Monday in May as Memorial Day or Decoration Day.
Connecticut has a statute on nearly everything and eventually I’ll blog about them all.
This blog is made possible by the right to free speech.
Freedom of speech would not exist, but for, the men and women who have given their lives in service of Country.
Memorial Day is worthy of not [...]
Baltimore? Perhaps better known around here as the home of Fenway South.
I know this is a Connecticut Law Blog, but like you, I’ve got my eyes set on the long weekend.
As far as maintaining a blog, sometimes you need some low hanging fruit. This certainly qualifies as such.
Baltimore Judge Bruce Lamdin was suspended for making [...]
Non-lawyers cannot bring camera phones or other digital recording devices into Connecticut’s court buildings.
Lawyers can obtain a Judicial Branch ID Card that allows the lawyer to bring a digital recording device into a court building. This is done only after the lawyer takes a written oath that he or she will not use a digital recording device in court.
Cell phones [...]
If I was writing an opinion for the Connecticut Supreme Court in Kerrigan it would not be 172 pages as was the California Supreme Court’s landmark ruling.
It would be short and read something like this:
The Connecticut Constitution requires that: “All men when they form a social compact, are equal in rights; and no man or set of [...]
A Connecticut Law blog asks “what’s in a name” as Connecticut’s Supreme Court tackles the issue of gay marriage in light of the California Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of In re Marriage Cases.
I don’t know what problem the legislature was trying to solve when it passed this law in 1949:
No person shall make and sell, or make and offer for sale, any vinegar without conspicuously branding, stenciling or painting, upon the head of the barrel, cask, keg or package containing the same, the name of the maker, [...]
