    How small is too small? Litigating sample
    sizes in reduction in force cases
    Last week's post on the use of statistics in reduction in force cases
    garnered some interest from a fellow blogger, Stephanie Thomas. She
    argues on her blog that small sample statistics still have a place in
    workforce reduction litigation. After reading Stephanie's take on this
    issue, we carried the conversation over to Twitter (Are you following
    me on Twitter @jonhyman? If not, shame on you). My conclusion is that
    the Schoonmaker decision merely begs the question of how small of a

    Do you know? Why statistics are so important

    workforce reduction discrimination cases (6th Circuit downgrades
    importance of statistics in reduction-in-force cases and How small is
    too small? Litigating sample sizes in reduction in force cases).
    What's been missing from this analysis, however, is an explanation of

    What does Williams mean?
    On Thursday I wrote about the Supreme Court's decision last week in
    State v. Williams, bemoaning the fact that while the court had agreed
    that felonious assault and attempted murder were allied offenses, it
    bought into the idea that Williams could be convicted of two separate
    counts of attempted murder because he'd fired two shots at the victim.
    Several people have suggested I'm wrong, so I took another look at the
    decision. There are three arguments against my position. First, the

    A new look at 12(B)(6)?
    One of the major differences between criminal and civil cases is that
    the latter afford several opportunities for trial avoidance. No matter
    how overwhelming the defendant's guilt, or how weak the state's
    evidence, the only way to determine the result is to put twelve people
    in the box and let them sort it all out. Not so in the civil arena.
    There are several weapons in the litigants' arsenal which allow a

    Deuteronomy Trumps the Sixth Amendment
    I'd do exhaustive research, write a powerful legal argument, and then
    watch no one pay it any heed. The problem with this lawyerly approach
    is that nobody cares about rules or principles when they're dealing
    with a murderer. The lawyer says that the Constitution was violated
    every which way, and the judge says, Yeah, but your client killed
    somebody, right? For all our so-called progress, the tribal
    vengefulness that we think of as limited to backward African countries
    is still how our legal system works. Posted on Friday, February 5, 2010 at 11:25 am

    Your Divorce Marathon

    Your Divorce Marathon
    Getting tired of all this? No one goes into a divorce adequately
    prepared to deal with all the changes and stresses. As active,
    high-functioning men and women, we want to do the best we can in the
    least amount of time. However, divorce is a process, not a single
    event, and it can be a long process. Even if the legal divorce takes
    only a few months, the fall-out (both emotional and financial) can
    continue for many years. To prevent your divorce from becoming
    overwhelming, recognize that you cannot rush it. Posted on Monday, February 1, 2010 at 6:29 pm

    As the year 2010 approached, most people believed that Congress would

    tax changes. Estate Plans were drafted with attorneys and clients
    convinced that Congress would act, and the draconian changes scheduled
    to occur in 2010 would not take place. They were dead wrong. As

    Before the IRS can issue a levy, however, it first must give the
    taxpayer a Notice of Intent to Levy (CP504). Perhaps the most frequent
    Notice taxpayers receive is CP504. This Notice says, "Urgent! We

    The automatic stay is a powerful provision in bankruptcy law that

    The Wrong Approach to Election Reform
    The Ohio legislature yesterday approved a bill (SB 380) that would

    Health Care Powers of Attorney

    Health Care Powers of Attorney
    Below is copied an old email message I sent out to some friends. It is

    Tax Evasion Arguments
    Here's a post from the National Association of Tax Professionals, that
    says it as well as I think I can. Most of these arguments are good for
    a chuckle or two. It continually amazes me how people can put forth
    these ideas and appear to sincerely believe them. But, I guess that is
    all a testament to human nature, greed, and that we tend to believe
    what we want to hear. -- FM Lawsuit-Happy Tax Protesters Tax the Legal
