Law blog round-up
March 10, 2008
Here are a few law links for your “this-time-change-is-making-this-Monday-morning even-worse-than-usual” Monday morning:
- Bloggers post on a variety of Maryland measures: the bill to ban foie gras, the bill to impose liability on lead-paint manufacturers, the bill to ban Marylanders from selling certain things on e-Bay and the bills on shipping wine into Maryland.
- What do you think of the lead-footed Montgomery County cops’ logic that they should not have to pay speed camera fines because they don’t own their cruisers?
- 60 Minutes last night featured a story about two lawyers who knew that a defendant hadn’t committed a murder because their own client had confessed to them. The lawyers revealed the truth only after their client died last year — despite the fact that the guy who hadn’t done it has been behind bars for 26 years. The Wall Street Journal’s Law Blog asks whether the lawyers were right to follow legal ethics or wrong to let an innocent man serve time. (This case from Illinois is a lot like this one from Virginia.)
- From Ms. JD comes the news of this law review article (PDF) on women’s progress at the big firms.
