The legal blogosphere has been atwitter lately over the results of a survey conducted by the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services. The goal of the survey was to determine how people go about finding a lawyer to handle their personal legal matters. This simple survey resulted in a surprising number of spirited blog posts on a range of different topics. At the blog "Lexblog," Kevin O'Keefe, the CEO of Lexblog Inc., a company that provides legal blogs and social media consulting to lawyers, took issue with the ABA Journal blog's reporting of the survey, in a blog post entitled "How People Find Lawyers: Referrals Are Popular, Blogs Not So Much, Poll Finds.
I caught some of Sal Paolantonio on the radio coming in to work this morning. Sal Pal was talking about some of the traditionally poor NFL franchises who might surprise this season. He mentioned the Browns, who are gaining respectability under president Mike Holmgren and seem to have found their franchise quarterback in Colt McCoy. He picks St. Louis to win the NFC West. Paolantonio said Jim Harbaugh has instantly "changed the culture" in San Francisco and expects them to challenge for the NFC West title. Hmm. I seem to recall pushing Harbaugh for the Bills head coaching job after Dick Jauron got fired, and suggesting he would be the perfect candidate to create a new culture in Buffalo. Oh, well.
PANAMA CITY, Panama - More than two decades after the U.S. forced him from power, Manuel Noriega returned to Panama on Sunday as a prisoner and, to many of those he once ruled with impunity, an irrelevant man. Some Panamanians feel hatred for the former strongman and rejected American ally; a few others nostalgia. But as he returned to his native country for the first time since his ouster, it seemed like few people had any strong feelings at all.
Some scholars claim that current Establishment Clause doctrine can increasingly be explained in terms of substantive neutrality-that is, the idea that government ought to treat religion and irreligion (or comparable secular activities) in the same way. Whether a product of the Court's commitment to the idea or an artifact of the positions of the "swing" Justices, this proposition has considerable explanatory power. The Supreme Court has, in recent years, permitted the government to make financial support equally available for religious uses, as long as it is done on a neutral basis and through the private choice of the recipients. It has required the government, in its superintendence of general and limited purpose public forums, to treat comparable religious and secular speakers identi...
A state employee cannot be denied whistleblower protection just because his decision to disclose possible misconduct by two of his fellow campus police officers was personally motivated, the Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. The court's opinion overturns a decision by an administrative law judge, affirmed by the Prince George's County Circuit Court. The lower court had held that claims of wrongdoing made by Tyrone Lawson, a 17-year veteran of the Bowie State University Police Department, were not protected under Maryland's whistleblower statute because they were the product of his "crusade to make changes to the department himself.
State lawmakers are increasingly offering up a ho-hum assessment of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's statewide tour promoting property tax cap, gay marriage rights and stronger legislative ethics laws. It's irrelevant," Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, the Legislature's top Democrat, said when asked Monday about Cuomo's latest stop earlier in the day on Long Island after visits last week to Buffalo and Syracuse.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Today is Championship Sunday at Bricktown Ballpark as Texas A&M meets Baylor for the Big 12 Tournament title. The anticipation of Championship Sunday was muted yesterday by Irrelevant Saturday.
By Randall Beach Register Staff rbeach@nhregister.com WOODBRIDGE -- Thomas Ullmann, one of the two public defenders who represented Steven J. Hayes in the Cheshire triple-homicide trial last fall, believes the news media's use of Twitter, laptops and cameras in the courtroom is "dangerous," because it interferes with the right to a fair trial, he says.
S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently termed America's allies in NATO as irrelevant. Of course they are, for NATO was created to thwart the threat from the former Soviet Union after World War II. The threat is gone but Germany wants the 50,000 or so U.S. troops to stay in Germany for the economic benefits that brings, but not to defend itself against the Russians. The Russians and Germans are building a huge gas pipeline together showing that the Germans are more worried about heat than the Soviet threat.
