Lawyers Should Take A Myers-Briggs Test

by Ryan McKeen
At the insistence of my wife, I took an online Myers-Briggs Test. She told me that I would learn things about my work habits. As usual, she was right.
I came back as an ENTJ. Less than 2% of the population are ENTJS. ENTJS are field marshals. Famous ENTJs include Hillary Clinton, Napolean, and [...]

It’s fall. The signs are everywhere. The leaves are turning, the days are cooler, and the Red Sox just sent out an email allowing fans to register for the opportunity to purchase playoff tickets.

For better or for worse continues to go to the dogs.

Bloomberg Law….Really Awesome

Why Governor Rell Couldn’t Use Her Line Item Veto Power Without Signing The Budget

by Ryan McKeen
Earlier in the week I heard Attorney General Blumenthal on TV.  Attorney General Blumenthal being on TV is hardly post worthy but what he had to say is.
He said that Governor Rell couldn’t use her line item veto powers without signing the budget.  Mr. Blumenthal said letting the budget become law without her [...]

Healthcare Crisis Plays Out In Small Claims Courts

This post was originally written in February of 2008. In light of the healthcare debate, I figure the post is worth reposting.
Healthcare. The debate is everywhere right now.

I hope you enjoy my efforts.
