"The $100,000 punch in the nose"

"The $100,000 punch in the nose": Today's edition of The Kennebec Journal contains an article that begins, "Publishing a notice about a lawsuit in the Lincoln County News met the letter of the law, but violated the due process rights of a former Colby College student who now lives in Massachusetts, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled on Tuesday. It means that the case in which a former Colby student won $100,000 in damages from a former classmate will start over again in Lincoln County."

And The Associated Press reports that "Court casts doubt on legal notices; Maine justices toss $100k verdict."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine at this link.
