		<link>http://blawgsearch.justia.com/visit.aspx?id=2252967&amp;type=post</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, Great cases, like hard cases, make bad law. For great cases are called great, not by reason of their importance in shaping the law of the future, but because of some accident of immediate overwhelming interest which appeals to the feelings and distorts the judgment. Northern Securities Co. v. United States, 193 U.S. 197, 400-401 (1904)(Holmes, J., dissenting). That idea seems to be on David Feige's mind when he writes in Slate about the upcoming trial of...  ]]></description>

		<link>http://blawgsearch.justia.com/visit.aspx?id=2252927&amp;type=post</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ A recent study found that most holiday car accidents occur the day before or after a holiday and not on the holiday itself. In fact, the days preceding a holiday pose the greatest threat for accident fatalities. The study found that the typical holiday had a low incidence of car accidents involving crashes and fatalities because most holiday travelers have met their destination and tend to remain there. For example, Thanksgiving Day in 2008 was the thirteenth lowest day for serious car crashes....  ]]></description>

		<link>http://blawgsearch.justia.com/visit.aspx?id=2253032&amp;type=post</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ Perhaps the news comes in anticipation of some anticipated, forthcoming anti-arbitration federal legislation. Or, more likely, it stems from National Arbitration Forum's closure of its consumer arbitration program. Two major credit card companies, JP Morgan Chase and (three months ago) Bank of America, have dropped arbitration provisions from their credit card agreements. We turn -- for the first time we can think of -- to USA Today for the legal scoop.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Software Advice's Chris Thorman recently published State by State: Is the Stimulus Bill Creating Construction, an article analyzing how effective the federal stimulus money actually is in preserving and creating construction jobs. According to SA's calculations based on October 30, 2009 data from Recovery.gov, spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA") has created, or saved, 73,352 construction jobs across the nation, at a cost of $15.8B. That's $222,107 per...  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ For those who haven't heard, there is legislation pending that would extend ARRA's COBRA provisions. HR 3930 would: Permit individuals who are involuntarily terminated between April 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009 to continue group health benefits under COBRA for a period of 24 (instead of the usual 18) months. If the individual's coverage has expired by the time the legislation is enacted, the individual would have the right to elect COBRA coverage for the additional 6 months. ARRA would be...  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The recent arrest of a man in Virginia for indecent exposure has left many citizens across the U.S. with different reactions as to what characterizes intentional and accidental exposure of one's private parts when in the confines of one's own home. According to a northjersey.com article, Fairfax police are saying that the man "wanted to be noticed&amp;#xe2€&amp;#xa6positioning himself so that the mother and child would see him not once, but twice." The accused man claims that he never saw the 45-year-old woman...  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ After suffering a stroke and additional related health problems, a 39-year-old Newark woman has filed a suit against Bayer Corp., the makers of the popular birth control product, Yaz. According to an insidebayarea.com article, the woman took Yaz, a prescription-only product, for four weeks in the summer of 2007 to help reduce premenstrual pains, which is one of Yaz's advertised uses. She then suffered a stroke that resulted in six months of hospitalization. In attributing her health problems to...  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Faced with a difficult economic environment, many solo practitioners and small law firms have slashed their marketing budgets. Indeed, I recently spoke with an attorney practicing in a specialized niche that is currently doing poorly - shopping centers - who declined to invest in a blog because "times are tight." I told him I thought this was a big mistake, and advised that the right time to invest in a blog was when business is slow and he had "downtime" to spend researching and writing posts....  ]]></description>
