A few years ago I picked up the LawInsider.com domain through a GoDaddy auction, and at the time, I contemplated switching this blog, thelawinsider.com, over to the new URL. But I couldn’t pull the trigger.
As much as I love this blog and the community I’ve built around it, the entrepreneur in me knew that I needed to build a product to accompany the blog– and not just another blog. Blogging is an awesome past time, but I’ve never considered it a job or a… [read post]

Unless the Maricopa Attorney’s office decides to take the death penalty option off the table the case will be headed to a new jury.

RE F (CHILDREN) 14 May 2013, Court of Appeal – extempore so currently only available as a Lawtel summary (£)
A topical case, this, given legal aid cutbacks. It concerns the ability of unrepresented litigants to choose those to help them out as advocates in court.

The High Court ruled that a judge had been entitled to refuse an application for a particular person to act as a McKenzie friend despite that individual not being… [read post]

Occasionally on this blog, we mention football (and here and here). And occasionally, we mention Monthy Python. The old English cliches about German krauts, however, appear to be fading away, thanks to a strange combination of politics and football. Just imagine what The Sun’s headlines ahead of tomorrow’s Bayern – Dortmund final at Wembley would have been back in the 1990s.
Amidtst all the talk about Germany being the most popular country in the world in… [read post]

I often get this same questions from attorneys unfamiliar with admiralty… [read post]
