Monday morning jumpstart

By Gideon

Snow, snow, snow. A jumpstart might just be needed today.

• Let’s start it off with something to think about: Skelly wonders about this article which asks whether we can continue to trial despite investigation revealing the guilt of the client.
• Concurring Opinions has this post on Seinfeld’s legal troubles and the law and language.
• New York is closing one four prisons.
• Mike at C & F reminds us that but for the grace of God…
• There’s a massive parole logjam in CT, in part because some of the needed documents are simply unavailable.
• Lawyer from racy divorce billboard now has a Playboy column (and spread).
• I didn’t really want to link to this story, but now that I see Mark has a post about, I guess I will.
• Of course, the big news is SCOTUS granting cert in Giles, which will test the confrontation clause and forfeiture doctrine. Stick with the Confrontation Blog for coverage, analysis and links to briefs. There’s more in the blawgosphere, too.
• Stephen Gustitis links to a series of four posts on how to be a good trial lawyer.
• Just for fun, the 50 most bizarre city names around the world (includes profanities, so don’t click if you’re offended).

There’s more, but I can’t find the darn links. Stay warm, drive safe and thank you, Gov. Rell, for making us go in to work on time.
