After nine years of slippery, slinky competition, the Ferret Olympics is being forced to change its name -- the U.S. Olympic Committee has threatened to sue. Melanee Ellis started the Ferret Olympics, in which ferrets vie for medals in events including the tube run and the paper bag escape, as a fundraiser for a local ferret shelter. U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Darryl Seibel said the committee's legal department on average asks about 50 groups per year to stop using the name "Olympics."

IN MEMORIAM OUR FRIEND, MENTOR, AND COLLEAGUE It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, friend, mentor, and colleague Bruce I. Goldstein, on September 2, 2023. The prominent New Jersey trial attorney was 80. In a legal career spanning more than five decades, Bruce was regarded as one of the most talented and sought after litigators in New Jersey. His love for the legal profession was contagious. Bruce will be greatly missed, as will his signature greeting, How you be? and the outsized smile that accompanied it.
