... I drove under the bridge on a boat dozens of times. I marveled at the beauty of the bridge and the beautiful views from the bridge. I never imagined that the
bridge might fail. I assumed that teams of qualified professionals made sure it would not fail. I was horrified when I heard that those charged with the responsibility to keep
the bridge safe did nothing despite knowing the bridge might fail. I am frightened that those same people will likely never be held ...

... over the line or, on a personal basis, repugnant to me; and promised to review the legality of such methods if confirmed." But as to "whether waterboarding, which simulates
drowning, was illegal torture," he "could not say." That position prompted Senators Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to
oppose Mukasey's nomination. Other presidential candidates then followed suit, and with good reason. There ought to be no doubt that this practice is illegal. It's an assault and
battery ...

... journals were primarily written for and read by practicing attorneys, this emphasis made a good bit of sense; whether it does so now seems (to me) to be an open question. The larger
point is that such style differences are one more barrier to work that bridges the legal and social scientific academies. But what to do? Throw
out the Bluebook? (I like that idea, but I'm sure many others won't). Relax the style guidelines for some types of work, or eliminate them all together? Barring that, what ...

... home chain, Alterra, is certainly aware of the morass of arbitration enforcement given its string of Florida opinions in the last 12-18 months. We've previously discussed the case
of Estate of Loyette McKibbin v. Alterra Health Care Corporation a/k/a Clare Bridge Cottage of Winter Haven et al. Back in March 2007, we got our hands on the trial court order
in this case and the fact that it granted arbitration despite the usual arguments for escaping arbitration. Our crystal ball must have been at ...

riding in the fourth car, which crashed into a steel bridge. The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the Metra engineer's failure to heed a crucial signal and the
commuter rail agency's lack of a system to override human error as key reasons for the derailment. Comments about this post can be directed to ...

[JURIST] The families of fifteen Cubans deported when they failed to reach US soil have filed suit in US District Court, claiming that the US government's so-called "wet-foot, dry-foot"
policy is inconsistent with US and international law. The fifteen Cubans fled their homeland in a small homemade boat, but only managed to reach an abandoned bridge piling in the
Florida Keys. Because the

... home lawyers are making more law on this issue than their less rabid probate and trust and estates brethren. Florida courts have rebounded from the less-than-helpful opinion in
Estate of McKibbin v. Alterra Health Care Corp d/b/a Clare Bridge Cottage of Winter Haven. In that case, the trial court held that the POA did not have authority within the DPOA
document to sign an arbitration agreement -- but then left us without any analysis. The Second District then tucked in behind the trial court ...

We are anxious to report on the recent Second DCA opinion of Manor Care v. Catherine Stiehl as PR of Estate of Halloran, but we will have to build up to that case. This (other) recent
Second DCA case conveniently builds a nice bridge between the Georgia cases in our prior posts and that new Manor Care case. The Second District tackled, head on, whether an
arbitration clause is still enforceable despite the fact that the clause refers matters to the American Arbitration Association -- or any ...

Few things are as helpful to Rhode Island Divorce Coaching clients as a good story. In Bridget's case, it wasn't until Bridge received some Post Divorce Coaching that Bridget
discovered that all lawyers are not equally skilled or knowledgeable and that with a little bit of valuable coaching information from an experienced Rhode Island divorce lawyer she was
able to accomplish on her own for only $200 what her divorce lawyer had failed to do after being paid more than $5,000. Though Bridget's ...
