Happy New Year!
In the waning hours of 2012, I just want to wish a happy new year to all my friends, family, colleagues, clients, supporters, Fishtown peeps, Philly peeps, fellow Americans, and people of Earth. Here’s hoping 2013 is bigger, better, happier, more prosperous, and generally more awesome for all!!
Merry New Year!!
In true Philly Jewish fashion, I had delicious Chinese food on Christmas, watched A Christmas Story multiple times, and Hung out with friends. Here’s to a happy New Year and prosperous 2013 to all!
Election
My first foray into electoral politics was in high school, where I ran for student council treasurer on a platform that I have mostly forgotten (although I do recall something having to do with a Coke machine). Despite being backed by the best campaign video ever (set to The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again”), I…
For your information, MAAM…
the Supreme Court has ROUNDLY REJECTED prior restraint! (But a Florida state court hasn’t.) More to follow but enjoy Deadspin’s report.
Devil’s in the Details
Just got back an arbitration award in favor of the Defendant (my client) in a collection case. This was a case that frankly, I was not confident I was going to win. The panel agreed with my argument that the complaint was brought outside the applicable statute of limitations, which in this case was a…

But if we are just talking policy, my feeling is that a major overhaul of the American mental health system would be a huge step in preventing future mass shootings. (Go ahead, call me trite. Or a liberal. I’ve been…
Double secret probation
My alma mater is in the news again. This time, the Association of American Law Schools put Villanova Law School on a two-year probation following the grade inflation morass of 2011. Villanova, as you may recall, was embroiled in a grade-inflation scandal in 2011. It was one of the first of many such unpleasant events…
Infamy
Dec. 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy. Never forget.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Germans using unwilling and unwitting civilians as medical guinea pigs and slave labor … hmmmm … where have we heard that before? This is as much reminiscent of the Tuskeegee experiments as much as Dr. Mengele; both atrocities, neither surprising, sadly enough. Drug firms bought East German patients to use as human guinea pigs (The…
Synergy!
Back in the day (2001-05) I was a blogger. Not a blawgger, as that time period coincided with my law school years, so maybe a law-student-blogger, I don’t know. Anyway, it was a while back, before Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and all this synergy we’ve got going on now. It was difficult to manage connections because…
