Website: Famous Trials

Apr 22, 2007

This admittedly bare-bones website was created & is maintained by professor Douglas O. Linder at the University of Missouri-Kansas Law School. Linder says: "My vision was to create the Web’s largest collection of primary documents, images, essays, and other materials relating to famous trials from Salem to Simpson. Trials have long struck me as wonderful vehicles for exploring history and human nature. What better way to understand the 20s than reading about the Scopes, Sacco-Vanzetti, and Leopold and Loeb trials? What provides better insights into the nature of evil than reading the transcripts of the William Calley court-martial or the... Read more →

"Sunshine and Judge Seidlin"

Feb 28, 2007

Have to point to this very smart blog post about Judge Seidlin, of "judging on TV" fame: "In 1933, Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis advised, 'Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant.' True to this notion, Florida is known as the Sunshine State not only for its weather -- it has long been a leader in open government. But when it comes to cameras in the courtroom, does openness serve an injustice? "After watching Judge Larry Seidlin's on-camera antics in the Anna Nicole Smith proceedings, Norm Pattis thinks so. At his blog Crime & Federalism, he says Seidlin singlehandedly rests the... Read more →

Paralegal now jury coordinator

Nov 19, 2006

It's all about making jury duty sound like fun -- or at least time well spent: "Most people aren't thrilled to be called for jury duty. They think they are too busy, can't afford to miss work, or need to be home caring for their children. "Mary Poston considers it her job to change their mind -- or at least make them feel like their time in the courthouse is well-spent. "Poston, 56, is Mecklenburg County's jury coordinator. She summons 66,000 Mecklenburg County residents for jury duty each year. "She's also the person you contact if you can't make it... Read more →

"Paralegal breaks the fashion law"

Oct 21, 2006

Can't quite figure out if this story is mostly funny or sad. Of course, 'dress for success' is usually a good idea, right? "A colourful Toronto paralegal is seeing red after his forceful ejection from court for a 'fashion crime.' "Ex-lawyer Harry Kopyto alleges that a Toronto cop 'manhandled' him out of a Scarborough court yesterday after a justice of the peace adjourned a case because of Kopyto's attire. "When city prosecutor Janet Stoeckl complained about Kopyto's multi-coloured, open-neck shirt and his textured burnt-orange jacket, speeding charges against Kopyto's client, Paul Lamy, were brought to a screeching halt. "According to... Read more →
