Happy Thanksgiving

Football, turkey, stuffing and pie makes Thanksgiving easily the best holiday of the year.
Whatever you are doing, whether it’s cooking, running the Manchester Road Race or eating turkey and watching football, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
I’ve been really busy, I think there should be a law against contested hearings on Thanksgiving Eve, and once [...]

Bob Dylan, A CT Law Blog Search Terms, and Tazawa

For Clarence Earl:
Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you. – Bob Dylan
Here are some of the over 1000 search terms (in bold) that have deposited you my blog this month and my response:
winter forecast for connecticut: cold, [...]

Friday Morning Coffee

It’s been a busy week but then again what week isn’t busy.
Here’s a roundup of some things I’ve bumped into this week:
For first amendment purposes, context is everything and this Christmas ”gift” makes that point. Click here to see what I mean (the amazing thing is that it’s not a spoof and could be yours for a suggested donation [...]

Nebraska’s Safe Haven Law vs. Connecticut’s Safe Haven Law

You’ve probably read or heard about Nebraska’s safe haven law and its horrible and presumably unintended effects. Nebraska is now set to change this law.

Blawging: The Ground Game

What we do on the internet echoes in life. – From The Movie Gladiator (not really)
If you are blogging in hopes of attracting business, search engine optimization is not enough. You need ground game.
What do I mean by ground game? I mean integrating traditional rain making activities with your blog. In my experience, this and not [...]

Why Blawging Isn’t Enough

Blawging is a marketing tool but perhaps more accurately it should be part of a marketing strategy.

Barney The Dog: A Presidential Liability

President Bush has a lot to worry about. The economy, two wars, eating pretzels and Barney his dog.
It seems the Reuters reporter isn’t the only person that Barney has bitten. The Boston Globe has this article about how Barney drew blood when he bit the wrist of the Celtics public relations director in September.
What would [...]

A Smaller Trumpet: CT’s Legal Aid Agencies Getting Slammed

Christopher Nolan has this article in the CT Law Tribune about how the economic crisis is impacting legal aid agencies and it’s not pretty.
Nolan writes:
The amount of money coming from the major funding source for legal aid agencies is falling faster than the stock market on a bad day, from $20 million in 2007, to [...]

Is CT’s Civil Union Statute Unconstitutional?

I don’t have a ton of time today so this is some thinking out loud.
Here’s my question: Is it unconstitutional for the State to deny opposite sex couples the ability to enter into a civil union?
Here are the eligibility requirments for civil unions in Connecticut:
 A person is eligible to enter into a civil union if such person is:

Without the brave service of veterans none of this (our legal system, this blog, our freedoms) would be possible.
Thank you.

    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.
