Hillary Clinton Case Dismissed

I’ve written before about Douglas Wallace who sued to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming President on the grounds she is a woman.
I’m pleased to report that his case has been dismissed.
I’ve also searched the Nevada docket and Mr. Wallace has not decided to take legal action to prevent Sarah Palin from becoming vice-president of the [...]

September 11th: Remembrance Day in Connecticut

I am writing this on September 10th. Seven years ago tonight the topics of conversation were Gary Condit and shark attacks. Today was all about phony outrage over “lipstick on a pig.”
September 11th, 2001 changed lots of things.
Our laws are snapshots of our values. Historians can look back at a society’s laws and see it’s problems, [...]

Debt Collectors That Prey On Senior Citizens

Thugs. That’s the only word that I’m willing to write in this blawg to describe them.
The them is/are large national debt collectors. These thugs by debt for pennies on the dollar and then try and collect anything they can from anyone.
Two years ago, an elderly woman came to me telling me that her identity had [...]

Seniors And The Law Day In Connecticut

Facebook It

I’ve written before about the influence of Facebook on my legal practice.

 Stale content websites are quickly going the way of the yellow pages.
The ABA has this blawg about how even large firms are embracing Facebook:
Big law firms may be [...]

A Good Bye Plastic Bags (at least in Westport)

This well-heeled town has become the first community on the East Coast to ban plastic shopping bags, a move hailed by proponents as a watershed moment that could lead to a wider change in consumer habits. David Funkhouser, The Hartford Courant, 9/5/2008

In law school, I read dozens of cases on how state’s are the laboratories [...]

Connecticut Small Claims Courts Improving

I’ve had several posts about the mess that Connecticut small claims courts have become over the past 2 years.
I have to say that things are now starting to move much more quickly.
It’s a good thing that Connecticut residents can again look forward to a timely resolution of small disputes.

Thinking About Becoming A Landlord In Connecticut?

A few weeks ago, I was speaking with a housing specialist.
Housing specialists are trained mediators who spend their time getting parties to resolve housing cases.
We were talking about the length of time it takes to evict a tenant in Connecticut.
He said that Connecticut landlords need to have a reserve of at least 6 months of mortgage [...]

Housekeeping

I'd like to thank you for reading this blog, my firm for supporting my blogging efforts, and my team of editors (my mom) for correcting some of my mistakes. I get a number of requests to add blogs to my blogroll. I have no problem doing this if I like your blog. By like I mean, I do not add links from ads that pose as blogs. Thanks again. I hope you enjoy my efforts.
