I get in trouble with the Bar Nazis if I say I’m a professor when I’m not, so I can’t really write this little piece on basic worker’s comp law the way I wanted to, with the perspective of a crotchety old law professor. My readers would enjoy it and get that I’m not actually that person, but the Bar has a problem with reality v. perceptions. Alas.

Our fight against Contributory Negligence
This is one of those things that you have no reason to ever know about until it’s on your face sucking the life out of you. Being in the field of personal injury law, I’m acutely aware of it and the debilitating effect it has on injured parties. Since most of you won’t have any insight into this undead hangover from English Commonlaw (the same people who brought us the stocks...

Time and again I’m confronted with potential traffic ticket clients who ask me about the Prayer for Judgment Continued, or as it’s known by its acronym, the PJC.

Like a bad neighbor, insurance companies are...
As a personal injury attorney, I deal with insurance companies all day long, every weekday. Their job is to pay the victims of their insureds’ negligence as little as possible for the harm done to them. Fine, fine, I get it. They have a job to do, as do I. They will make some pretty horrible arguments in their efforts to rob my innocent victim clients. They will twist words and bend...

This dish consists of many things, including the exotic crustacean known as “shrimp”, as well as the odd grain dish called “grits.” Eventually, an enterprising young chef...

Thousands of years ago, before Sigourney Weaver and the quickening of the original Highlander, some of my highschool friends created this fun random sentence generator. It’s a great tickler. Enjoy.

my first words, as john q. blogger
Quite a momentous occasion. My first post on my first blog. It begs the question, “what, oh blogger, great wisdom might you share with us?” Will it be something I’ve learned in my several decades of existense that might keep us all from nuclear holocaust? Might it be something of great value I learned on Sportscenter? Would it be something I discerned in the near-vacant yet...
