Dockside Workers Get Choice of State or Federal Workers' Comp

Connecticut's Supreme Court has held that injured shipyard workers may choose between state or federal workers' comp remedies, rejecting a rigid U.S. Supreme Court doctrine set forth in 1917.

Both defense and plaintiffs lawyers were shocked late last week when the legislature defeated a measure designed to lower the barrier to filing a medical malpractice suit. During four hours of debate in the House of Representatives, state Rep.

Opinion: A Moment Of Righteous Road Rage

It's a jungle out there. You know it. I know it. The open road is a one-way trip back to the state of nature – you know, that place Thomas Hobbes wrote about in the 17th century, the place where life is poor, nasty, solitary, brutish, and short.

A Sore Thumbs Up To Lawyer Mobility

"I'm addicted to CrackBerry." It�s a funny word play, but the real addiction for lawyers relates to the instant, wireless e-mailing capability of the BlackBerry as opposed to the device itself. For mobile lawyering, the critical tool is the wireless device, which can include cell phones, PDAs, smartphones and/or laptops. And, if you�re annoyed at the CrackBerry addicts wandering around, heads down, typing frantically with their thumbs, be prepared, because the number of mobile lawyers is growing rapidly.
