Why is that Panda eating a Lion?
Now that I've emerged from my cave, I'm afraid that people who met me while I was in there are a bit shocked at what kind of a bear I really am. I seemed more panda-like back then, eating bamboo and leaving the nice people alone. Look at...
You’re the inspiration.
I have a bunch of friends, non-lawyers, who read this blog. I like that. I feel that its good for those women I know as moms to also know this side of me; those people I knew in high school to know how I turned out; and relatives to realize the...
Thank you, Norm Pattis
Here is my public service announcement for the day, Norm Pattis on why talking to the police is never a good idea. A while back, on SoloSez, someone asked the question - would you consent to a DNA test to exclude you as the perpetrator of a brutal...
Chicks and their moral dilemmas – what?
My last numbers indicate that there are 57 people on SoloSez who market themselves as criminal defense attorneys. Eighteen of those are women. According to google math, that is approximately 31% which doesn't seem too horrible. However none of those...
It’s Saturday afternoon, and?
The sun is shining, I should be running(ish), but instead, I am, once again, reading blogs and discovering a universe of fun and excitement. I know, you all know about these already, but indulge me, will you?Brian Tannebaum of Criminal Defense Blog fame has...
F Criminal Defense Attorney ISO Same for Friendship and More.
The initial premise of this post was going to be that we are lacking in female criminal defense attorneys (in private practice) around these parts. I was going to bemoan how female attorneys end up in non-litigation positions and feel more comfortable...
Preemptive prosecutions and a small (but capital) town.
This blog post was written by a former co-worker of mine, Kathy Manley. Kathy works for one of the best criminal defense attorneys around, Terry Kindlon. She, herself is a force to be reckoned with. Here is the first of what I hope are many blogs to...
That’ll teach you to root against Duke.
The rest of the universe has already seen this, or so I thought. But darling husband informed me that he hadn't witnessed this video of a UMD student being beaten by police officers so I'm thinking some of my other 9 readers might not have either. If...
It’s a facebook world
A couple of weeks ago I got into a fight with a dear friend of mine. A verbal altercation; harsh words were exchanged and we narrowly avoided fistacuffs. I told her I didn't use facebook to regularly communicate with people I considered friends. She...
What else? Padilla, again. And now I’m using tags!
After screwing around on my blog and reading updates and looking at youtube, I finally made it to the Litigation Roundtable hosted at Duane Morris and sponsored by the DC AILA litigation committee. It was great. It would have been greater if my criminal...
Here’s what I want to be when I grow up
I am sometimes astounded by the amount of sheer genius out there in the criminal defense realm. I come to my little office, put my little 4 cup coffee pot on to brew, and determine I am going to get down to business. I am going to organize my...
Justice Stevens’ Retirement
I am updating my blog roll (instead of doing more research on Coram Nobis's - big lunch, tired, Friday) and came across this post on Criminal Defense Blog that said Scott Greenfield is maybe being considered for Justice Stevens' spot on the Bench. ...
