For the Want of a Key

By Anne Skove, Esq.

The Boston Globe's Jonathan Saltzman always has his finger on the pulse of the Massachusetts courts. This week is no exception.

See Courthouse Feud Erupts over Bathroom Key, Jonathan Saltzman, Boston Globe (May 9, 2008).

But the prosecutor claims the dispute is not a "feud" and that it is not simply over a key. Rather, she says the criminal investigation is underway to determine whether court security in search of a bathroom key unlawfully entered her locked office.

What this court needs is not involvement from the state supreme court, but an unlocked bathroom. If it must be locked, just leave the key under the mat. Or, forgo locks altogether in favor of pay toilets.
