I bought this domain a little while ago thinking that a move might be nice.  I'm a nomad by nature, a gypsy at heart, so the thought was that if I had new blogger digs, the words might come. I've gotten some grief over not writing, and it is justified. I mean, my...

I use the term litmus test with only a vague understanding of it's meaning. I am, unfortunately, a science moron, and only remember something about paper turning purple if it's basic? Or is it acidic?  Regardless, I understand it means "a test in which a single...

I read an incredibly disturbing story today about a 26 year old former marine who was at home with his wife and two small children when a SWAT team broke into his house (ok, they had a search warrant which I'm sure was poured over by the judge who signed it) and...

I am the mother of twin boys that will be four in August.  If you follow the blog you know that I had trouble conceiving, was on bedrest for over four months while pregnant, and then had a very difficult recovery.  All in all, actually physically bringing those boys...

I am terribly behind in reading the blogs over there on the right.  I'm terribly behind on updating my website and moving my blog to the notguiltynoway domain name that I've recently acquired.  But I've started to catch up and you know, I have to say, I liked the...

           Hello loyal blog fans! My name is Rosana Escobar Brown, but please call me Rosie.  I am a Fordham Law student hoping to visit the George Washington University School of Law in the fall to complete my third year.  My husband coaches baseball for the GW...

My name is Joshua Gibbons. I always feel like introductions can be awkward, and usually like to act as though I am already close friends with whomever I’m talking to (which can be even more awkward).But, as this is a blog I’ve decided to (Mirriam encouraged me to)...

So, get this, I've got a couple of summer law clerks.  They are smart and funny and have opinions but know when to shut their mouths.  They carry my bags and I buy them lunch.  They write pretty well and they show up on time and I'm hopeful when they leave they will...

A while back I wrote about a case where the 4th Circuit determined that the government should not be allowed to infer that every innocent action has nefarious overtones. The case, U.S. v. Foster, I thought, perhaps, signaled a shift in the Court's incredibly...

Sometime in the recent past I wrote a post about Joseph Rakofsky, the DC (?) New York (?) New Jersey (?) lawyer who took on a murder case in a DC Court, got in over his head and had a mistrial declared. Oh, and then he went on facebook and bragged about it.  As I...

A year ago I started my law practice all by my lonesome.  I work in a building with lots of other people, but no other lawyers, so I joined a listserv for small and solo practitioners.  I made some 'friends' and while I never posted a substantive question on...

We've had a good run, haven't we?  It was nice back when I didn't know any better and I just let you have your say, not moderating your comments which were, on occasion, not so kind and frequently, not so clever.  But, I'm sorry, it's you, not me.  Or...
