Using Google Voice As A Free Transcription Service

by Ryan McKeen
Here’s something, I’m toying around with. Last night I attended a meeting out of the office.  For a variety of reasons I did not want to take written notes during the meeting.
When I don’t want to take notes, I usually transcribe my notes after the meeting, either while sitting in my car or [...]

CT Scenic Road Law

by Ryan McKeen
This post was originally published on May 2, 2008. The rolling hills and roads of Litchfield inspired me to write it. I hope you enjoy:
Yesterday, I thought to myself: “What is a scenic road?”
I ask and the Connecticut General Statutes answer:
A ”scenic road” means any state highway or portion thereof that (1) passes [...]

Connecticut Handicapped Parking Sign Law

by Ryan McKeen
I saw this sign as I was walking to my car yesterday…

…and I thought “a blog post” and “possibly multiple blog posts!”
The sign lets a person know that if he parks in that spot without a permit he will be fined at least $116.
Here’s why the sign says that:
Such spaces shall be designated [...]

Standing Will Likely Be An Issue In Bysiewicz v. DiNardo

by Ryan McKeen
Hearing that the issue of standing will be raised in Bysiewicz v. DiNardo.  I expect someone to raise the argument early in the proceedings that Susan Bysiewicz does not have the ability to bring this action.

What To Watch For In Bysiewicz v. DiNardo

by Ryan McKeen
Here’s my attempt at a Sunday morning NFL pre-game show. Below are just my opinions.  Here is what I am watching for:
1. Can the Republicans intervene? There’s no way lawyers for Bysiewicz want this to happen. I expect her lawyers to fight this issue tooth and nail.  If the Republicans are able to [...]

Bysiewicz Hearing Scheduled For Friday

by Ryan McKeen
A hearing is scheduled for 2:00 on Friday, March 5th in Bysiewicz v. DiNardo.
The judicial branch does not show appearances for either Nancy DiNardo or the Connecticut Democrats. Both parties have until Friday to file an appearance or risk being defaulted. Defendants commonly wait until the last minute to file appearances in a [...]

A Mashie Niblick

by Ryan McKeen
After watching the great game between the U.S. and Canada last night, I decided to write a post on Connecticut hockey law.
I looked at cases involving the Hartford Whalers, various cases about people hitting each other with hockey sticks, and Jaworski v. Kiernan. Unfortunately Jawaorkski isn’t a case about hockey, it’s a case [...]

Should Lawyers Use The Word “Presently”?

One of the best things about having this site is that I’m constantly learning things. All sorts of things. Below is an email sent to me by a lawyer who wishes to remain anonymous. I’ve slightly edited his email and with his permission, turned it into a post.  Enjoy:
“I enjoy your Connecticut law blog very [...]

The High Cost Of Publishing Legal Notices In The Hartford Courant

by Ryan McKeen
Earlier this week,  I read George Gombossy’s article “How The Courant Makes Millions in Mandatory Foreclosure Advertising.” Check it out if you haven’t. Anyhow, his article  got me thinking.
Two years ago, I had to publish orders of notice in various newspapers across the country. The purpose of doing so was to put heirs [...]

    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.
