In that suit, the PI magnates contested an ethics rule which barred non-lawyers from being able to stake a claim in the ownership of law firms. They want lawyers to be able to run their firms like real businesses, outside investors and all.After all, that pesky ethics rule no longer exists down under in Australia, and in England, people can now add “legal services” to their grocery lists.

You’ve probably heard the same advice as I have about participating in meetings — speak up at least once during every meeting. Otherwise, people will wonder why you’re even there — are you engaged in the discussion? Do you even understand what’s going on? Are you nursing a hangover again? What’s the deal?Now, some of you have absolutely no problem speaking up at meetings. In fact, maybe you’re a little too “good” at it. This post isn’t for you. For those of you who don’t realize you babble on too much in meetings, there will be a different post dedicated to the likes of you, entitled: “When Everyone in the Room Has Ceased Making Eye Contact with You, It’s Time to Shut Up.”Others of you are shy about speaking up in larger groups, especially in front of a lot of senior people.

Justice Scalia speaking last night at Wesleyan University.Last night, Justice Antonin Scalia delivered the prestigious Hugo Black Lecture at Wesleyan University, speaking in the university’s Memorial Chapel before a packed house.

What did Justice Scalia have to say? And what did the protests entail? Continue reading “Justice Scalia Goes to Wesleyan”
New Jersey Governor Chris ChristieMuch to the dismay of students, faculty, and alumni, the Camden campus of Rutgers University School of Law will soon be merging with Rowan University, and doing away with the Rutgers name. Up until now, our coverage of the pending merger has been limited to Morning Docket entries. But last night, during a town hall meeting held by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, the debate got interesting.In what is being referred to as “the most-heated town hall clash of the year,” Christie reportedly got into a shouting match with a current Rutgers Law – Camden student. Harsh words were exchanged, and the scene ended with the law student being escorted from the meeting by police. Who is this law student, and what was said? Let’s delve into the details….Continue reading “New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Calls Law Student an ‘Idiot’”
