My colleague and fellow blogger, Attorney Adrian Baron, celebrated his 1-year anniversary as author of The Nutmeg Lawyer this week. Congratulations, Adrian!
At the end of his post, Will Connecticut Residents Finally Be Able To Buy Alcohol On Sunday? he lists some arcane (and quite amusing) Connecticut laws. Inspired by his research, [...]

I was purging the office file cabinets of closed cases today and one of the files jogged my memory about a case I participated in a few years ago. As an attorney, it is always important to maintain professional decorum in court. In other words, spontaneous laughter by a lawyer listening to a [...]
