Hello! Here are a few law links to ease you into the week:
We’re about to see a tidal wave of foreclosures in Maryland, says bankruptcy lawyer Brett Weiss.
The Janice M. v. Margaret K. same-sex visitation majority opinion doesn’t consider the “real world experience of children and alternative families,” divorce lawyer Jill Breslau writes.
There’s still time to confirm Rod Rosenstein, the Examiner says.
Yes, summer associates, it is OK to inquire about your firm’s financial health and plans for the future, says a big-firm recruiting director. And if you don’t have enough work, go to all the practice group meetings you can, she says.
Ever tried a rape case without being able to use the word “rape”? The National Law Journal has a trend piece about judges banning prosecutors from using “loaded” words. Hat tip: ABA Journal.
From The Volokh Conspiracy comes this link to a Dahlia Lithwick piece about what the last term shows about the changing dynamic on the Supreme Court.

There’ve been a few notable Baltimore Sun polls released this week, including one that found the majority of Marylanders polled favor legalizing slots, one that found Gov. O’Malley’s job approval rating dipping into the 30s post-special session, and another that revealed 57 percent of Marylanders support the death penalty.
Well, here’s the latest poll on a controversial issue: most voters in Maryland support some form of legalized same sex unions.
The poll shows 19 percent support gay marriage while 39 percent support civil unions; 31 percent of those polled oppose either form of same-sex unions.
Would you have expected these poll results to unfold as they have? How much faith do you place in this data?
