All three in one file. Thanks very much. The survival of common law writs in federal criminal practice is a fascinating oddity. The government's discussion of the writ includes a cite to Corpus Juris Secundum, a venerable legal encyclopedia no longer considered authoritative or even particularly re...

Does anyone have a link to the briefs on this appeal?

It’s a pickle. In litigation generally, a request for rehearing or reconsideration of a court’s order requires a showing that the court failed to address controlling law or factual circumstances that had been presented to it. You’re not supposed to (i) repeat an argument that the court previously co...

I remember my suit trousers looking like that after pulling all-nighters that extended through the following day.

Interesting to speculate how many of his clients Beck is going to be able to take with him after being fired for such offensive stupidity. And even if he sensibly negotiated an hourly rate for his work as local counsel (all too often a high risk/low reward line of business), and further insisted tha...

Slim, It's up to the mods, but posting the new action here makes sense to me. It won't be around for very long. Are you going to post links to the fragging by Mike Dunford @questauthority and Akiva Cohen @AkivaMCohen? And the merry saga of former Barnes & Thornburg equity partner Alec Beck, who ...

Wallace's graduation was in limbo for months. Stanford didn't back down until the recent wave of online dunking.

As the savy folks at LGM are fond of saying, college PC/Cancel Culture is OUT OF CONTROL!

As a JAG I’m qualified and also happy to prosecute this case. https://businessinsider.com/michael-flynn-said-us-should-have-a-cou...

Wasn't Plan B years ago? Ages ago, Gallups promised a Plan B. But then went to Plan ... A? And then Plan VIP? Well, it's all fun and games, but I'm worried what would happen if Plan B involves a federal civil rights lawsuit. Let's just hope that Mr. Laity doesn't know about 42 U.S.C.§§ 1983 & 1...

Court martial jurisdiction over former and retired military personnel is complicated, and its constitutionality is currently under challenge. Steve Vladeck, a good lawyer and a well-respected law professor, is a leading advocate for the challengers. Here’s a twitter thread from January that gives a ...

[Note to mods: this could, I suppose, go in the college football, or a few other sections. I believe it's best put here, but it's your call] Graham B. Spanier, the former president of Pennsylvania State University, must serve two months in jail followed by two months of house arrest for his role in ...

And Grossly Inappropriate Larry Klayman likes to brag about how he served in the Department of Justice and was involved in very important anti-trust cases. Let us ask him how many times he appeared in Court, whether at trial or for a hearing while working at the DOJ -- I suspect the number is less ...

An interesting article about the issues and potential problems with using nitrogen as a means of execution.

Ah, the Edison vs Westinghouse dispute.

The NYAG would not have the authority to impose such an order outside the state of New York. A federal judge could impose such an order, but she is suing the NRA in a NY court, isn't she? I'm not sure what basis a federal judge would have for barring anyone from serving on a non-profit board. Non-p...

I thought Northland10 might enjoy this.

Can anyone point me to a text version?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/28/politics/rudy-giuliani-federal-prosecutors/index.html It is unusual for prosecutors to execute a search warrant on a lawyer, although Manhattan federal prosecutors have done so before, most notably in recent years against another former lawyer for Trump, Michael Cohen....

Ahh, I wondered about that. It's frustrating not being able to check.
