Law blog round-up
July 14, 2008
Happy Monday! Here’s what lawyers are talking about today:
- Lower Shore residents are angry about their soaring property assessments, meaning more appeals.
- Brian Wiggins of the Maryland Intellectual Property Law Blog points to a new blog that covers patents on green technologies.
- Don’t rush into marriage, draw up a prenup, and for Pete’s sake, get some premarital counseling, begs Dawn Bowie of the Maryland Father’s Rights Blog.
- Michael O’Neill for the Federal District Court? No way, says the Confirm Them blog. As its name implies, the site is generally supportive of President Bush’s judicial nominees; O’Neill, though, fails its “smell test” because of his past problems appropriating other people’s writings without attribution.
- Remember the 13-year-old girl who was strip-searched after being accused of giving medicine to classmates? The 9th Circuit, sitting en banc, says that wasn’t kosher.
- Is anyone surprised that people who are, after all, future lawyers are driving a hard bargain when it comes to scholarship money?
