Read MoreThe No Nonsense Approach
The course of a trial is often very different from what is shown on television. The very best trials proceed in a smooth way with a minimum of theatrics.

Read MoreThe Open Air of the Courtroom
It has often been said that two things you don’t want to see are “how a sausage is made” and “how laws are made”. In contrast, the philosophy behind civil cases is that there should be full disclosure of information by and to both sides. Rules have been in place for decades now that are Read More

Read MoreResearch Links Boston Marathon Bombing Victims to Gulf War Vets and NFL Players
The Boston Marathon Bombing is still fresh on our minds. The victims may be more seriously injured than we thought. Victims of the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013 may have traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) similar to the TBIs sustained by Persian Gulf War soldiers and National Football League players.
