Sometimes I am simply unable to explain the law to my clients. It’s not simply that the law is counterintuitive. It is that the law simply makes no logical sense whatsoever, and is even unfair.

Consider the case of Jason Zullo, a client of mine. He’s a former East Haven cop. He together with three other officers were indicted by federal prosecutors for violating the civil rights of Hispanic residents by engaging in unlawful stops, illegal seizures and the application of unreasonable force.
