Connecticut To Get A MLB Team?

by Ryan McKeen
I haven’t written about baseball on this site in a long time but this topic is too good to pass up.
There are smart people in the Major League Baseball offices wondering if there’s hope of even discussing a potential move of the Rays to New Jersey or Southern Connecticut over certain protests from [...]

More Important But 100% Less Sexy Than The Whole Bysiewicz Issue

by Ryan McKeen
I guarantee the media won’t pick up on this one.  Or at least they didn’t the two previous times that I’ve posted this.  But those were made before this site went  Hollywood.
I feel very passionately about this topic. Making superior court decisions available on the google makes our courts more transparent and provides [...]

The Connecticut Client Security Fund Fee

by Ryan McKeen
For the past few days the discussion of Connecticut law and politics has been dominated by the exemption to the Connecticut Client Security Fund Fee. Exciting stuff.
What is the Connecticut Client Security Fund fee? It’s a fee paid by lawyers to:
A) reimburse claims for losses caused by the dishonest conduct of attorneys admitted [...]

We’re Talking About Practice

by Ryan McKeen
Bring the levity. I’ll be back with regularly scheduled posting on Monday. More to come on the attorney general statute.
I promised Secretary of State Bysiewicz that if she elected to respond, I wouldn’t displace her post for a week. That week is now up. I’ve wanted to post this all week.
Is AI talking [...]

Susan Bysiewicz Responds

Dear Attorney McKeen,
Thank you for the invitation to respond to your comments and questions.  While I’ll be the first to admit that this was not how I planned to spend my first few days as a candidate for Attorney General,  I believe the question was reasonable given the very vague wording of the statute.   I [...]

A Few Thoughts and An Invitation To Susan Bysiewicz

by Ryan McKeen
Prior to hitting “post”, I thought my post on Susan Bysiewicz would generate some buzz. It did. I’ve been taken aback by how much buzz it generated and how fast it generated it. It’s not easy being engaged in the “active practice of law” and responding to the media.  This blog is my hobby. [...]

Is Susan Bysiewicz Legally Qualified To Serve As Attorney General?

by Ryan McKeen
I don’t know.  The truth is that in my opinion Susan Bysiewicz would make a fantastic anything she wants to do. She’s intelligent and hardworking. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a Democrat and would have voted for Susan Bysiewicz for Governor. I am not involved with nor have I ever been [...]

Does Connecticut’s Attorney General Have To Be An Attorney?

by Ryan McKeen
I was asked this question last week and my response was “I think so, otherwise he or she would be a felon for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law!”
Yeah, I roll with an exciting crowd.
The question is actually kind of interesting because one does not have to be an attorney to be [...]

Tough Times Ahead For Real Estate Attorneys?

by Ryan McKeen
It seems that the music is about to stop for real estate attorneys yet again.
2009 was the year of the refi. With interest rates at historic lows it made sense for many homeowners to lock in fixed rate loans at rates at or near 5%.
While attorneys weren’t doing record numbers of purchases and [...]

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.
