“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by [...]

What Would Property Tax Amnesty Mean For Purchasers Of Municipal Tax Liens?

Yesterday, the Hartford Courant ran this article about Governor Rell’s proposal for property tax amnesty.
According to the article, Governor Rell is proposing lifting the mandatory 18 percent penalty charged to property owners who are late on payment of their taxes. The theory being that this would provide municipalities much needed cash.

CT Judge Rules That Halloween Is “A Pain In The Neck”

Here’s the actual quote:

Connecticut Superior Court Opinions Should Be Freely Available Online

Last winter I attended a seminar on “What Connecticut Judges Want You To Know.”
In law school I learned that a lawyer should always cite cases from the highest court in the state while writing briefs. It was explained that superior or lower court opinions were useful only to the degree that they explained or applied the rulings [...]

A confluence of interests…

As an attorney, I’m always worried about a conflict of interest but not in this case.
Yesterday, I picked up the Connecticut Law Tribune and saw a case that I briefed and argued had made its way into the Connecticut Law Reporter.

I was fighting for both my client and my [...]

I hope you enjoy my efforts.
