Law blog round-up
September 29, 2008
Happy Monday! Here are some law-related stories and blog posts from around the Web:
- Maryland is getting a whole bunch of the community development block grant funding set aside by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to address the foreclosure crisis. Of Maryland counties, Prince George’s County will get the largest chunk.
- TheDeal.com examines the Constellation sale. HT: Gabe’s Guide.
- The Post had a story over the weekend on the three new judges on the Court of Appeals. In large part, the story doesn’t offer much on the ways Judges Murphy, Adkins and Barbera might affect the court’s rulings. (The first quote is “The truth is no one knows.” Maybe the story could have waited, then?) The one specific point is a conjecture that the new judges might help shift the court to the left on growth and land development issues.
- Ron Miller says that when lawyers hear about another lawyer behaving badly, their instinct is to hope for the lawyer to be disciplined. When doctors hear about an allegation of medical malpractice, “their instinct is to defend the doctor and attack the accusers (not the victims, but their medical malpractice lawyers),” he says.
- Lawyers have started Googling and Facebooking prospective jurors to get a sense of whether they want them on the jury. “Anyone who doesn’t make use of [Internet searches] is bordering on malpractice,” says a trial consultant. Thanks to How Appealing for pointing the way to this story.
