Every so often, I get cell phone lust. Now is one of those times. My phone is ancient. It’s a year and a half old. It’s vastly underpowered compared with today’s phones. Sure it does most of what I want – email, a calendar, and internet. But it doesn’t do everything and other phones certainly … Read more
The Impulse To Legislate Everything
The legislation would accomplish something that I agree with – namely that it would allow Mr. Tate to go to the prom. However, this legislation is a symptom of a larger problem: here in CT there is a belief that any problem big or small can be solved through legislation.
Connecticut Lawmaker Opposes Due Process And Supports Hanging By Penis
There’s plenty I could say about this quote. Senator Prague said nothing I haven’t heard before.

Even If CT’s Budget Is Unconstitutional….So What?
Connecticut courts are bracing themselves for another stupid political lawsuit. Politicians were 0 for every case they brought in CT’s courts during last year’s election season. The bench couldn’t have sent a stronger message – it does not want to hear political issues. But none of that deterring a conservative group from bringing suit claiming … Read more
CT Judicial Branch Should Improve Family Courts By Scheduling Family Relation Mediations
Ask anyone who has been in CT’s family courts what happens when they go to court. Almost without fail, that person will say “I waited in the hallway” for most of the day. Most of my clients have to take the day off from work to attend family court. Early arrival is usually imperative so … Read more
Make Connecticut More Business Friendly: Create A “Medium Claims Docket”
Over the next several days, I’m going to write a series of posts of improvements that I think should be made to Connecticut’s courts.
