I love reading adverse possession decisions in Connecticut. These cases are often hard fought by warring neighbors. Compromise is often not an option because the level of disdain is so high between the parties. If fences make for good neighbors adverse possesion cases certainly do not. Unless of course the fence is at the heart of an adverse possesion … Read more
The July 2011 Connecticut Bar Exam is tomorrow. One of the few traditions we have around here is to publish this post the day before the bar exam. You’re going to have the luck of the Irish when you sit for the exam. When I was studying for the exam, I got the following email … Read more
The exam is next week. It’s going to be hot this weekend. Head to to the beach. Either the hay is in the barn by now or it’s not. Whether the hay is in your barn or not – enjoying a day at the beach is a fine way to spend the weekend before the … Read more

As things stand right now, we are in the worst possible situation – we’ve had tax increases with cuts to services coupled with mass layoffs. That’s not a recipe for economic success.
I motioned to a proctor and asked to borrow a pen. The proctor in a very stern voice (think the teacher on the Wonder Years) “This is the bar exam. How do you expect to pass it if you didn’t even prepare well enough to pack a pen? You’re not prepared. I’m not helping you”. I’ll never forget it. My heart just about stopped. I was going to be the first student to fail the exam on the account of not packing a pen.
