Various and Sundry, born on a Monday
Net Neutrality is a load of bollocks, according to the head of Virgin Media (TorrentFreak via /.). I’m sure this has everything to do with providing superior service, and nothing to do with ipayolla, where some companies pay extra to make sure that consumers are inconvenienced away from their competitors.
Problems filling the jury box (the Denver post). I like this excuse from the article: “I’m too darn good looking to serve on the jury.”
Apparently, Alberto Gonzales is having a difficult time finding someone to hire him, (NY Times via How Appealing). I’m okay with this, and note that the difference between this and John Yoo is that Gonzales had what in the military is referred to as Command Responsibility for much of the harm done to the Constitution in the last few years. Also, best title for a post on this matter: The Most Schadenfreudtastic Story of the Month.
Truly, this is life reflecting Torts Exam (TortsProf Bloq).
The “Light Cigarette” Case as and example of the limits of law (Law.com).
Arbitration is being pushed on little old ladies (WSJ Law Blog).
Where do military contractors fit in the law of war? (WSJ Law Blog).
The Dangers of Preemption (NY Times Editorial via How Appealing).
Virginia is considering raising its cap on Tort Claims against the State, which is one of the most restrictive in the nation (Washington Post via How Appealing). One lawyer describes the cap as “an insult.”
