Law blog round-up

June 9, 2008

Good afternoon! I’m just back from a conference in Miami, and I’m absolutely thrilled to find that it’s way hotter and muggier here than it was there. Here are a few law links for your Monday — a nice excuse for staying cool at your computer instead of venturing out into the rainforest.

  • The Sun has this profile of Judge Emory Plitt, the judge in the Kevin Johns prison-bus murder bench trial.
  • Judges are busy people and don’t want to slog through bloated, muddled briefs, Paul Mark Sandler writes.
  • This isn’t really new, but it falls into the “who knew,” um, cat-egory, at least for me. Some counties prohibit people from letting their animals, including cats, roam free. The felines need to be confined or leashed, just like dogs. Apparently, the cat fanciers don’t like this type of law much. By the way, anyone out there ever tried to leash a cat? I’ve done it and found that they will tolerate it, but they sure as anything won’t actually walk while attached to a leash. They will, however, sit on their tails and eat grass. (And then throw it up later. On the bed, if they can swing it.)
  • What do you get the Supreme Court junkie who has everything? Via How Appealing, here’s one idea. Fabulous.
