Law blog round-up

September 2, 2008

Happy Tuesday! Here are some law links for the start of your 4-day week:

  •  The Sun writes about the raids on properties owned by bail bondsman and entrepreneur Milton Tillman. Check out City Paper’s extensive recent coverage of Tillman.
  • A convicted murderer in Frederick County is arguing ineffective assistance, saying his trial counsel talked him out of testifying.
  • James Gross at the Maryland Divorce Legal Crier writes about how taking a laptop on a family vacation might affect your marriage.
  • Staying together for the sake of the kids isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, says Dawn Bowie at the Maryland Father’s Rights Blog. “It is not an intact family that children need,” she writes. “It is an intact, reasonably healthy family.”
  • Sarah Palin isn’t a lawyer herself, but she’s tangled with them as governor of Alaska, writes The American Lawyer.
  • Not really law-related, but interesting: those of us in the newsroom who grew up in the 1980s were reminiscing the other day about types of candy that were available when we were kids but have since been discontinued. Someone mentioned candy cigarettes and we all had a good laugh about the days when that kind of thing was acceptable. I guess we laughed too soon.
