Apologies for the lack of content this week, been down with the flu since Monday afternoon. Two short items by way of follow up today worth highlighting with a hope of resuming this blog’s normal, sub-par output next week. First, word has come out that the former Florida Bar President made the subject of the […]
I know they warn people about going to wells too often, but though the Roadshow has now wrapped up your intrepid blogger is a bit exhausted. So this is the well where we find ourselves today … a further mention of the ongoing TIKD situation. It is both a selfish and an altruistic offering. The […]
In the middle of Roadshowing (short break until the next stops next week) and also still trying to handle client matters to boot, so this will be a quick post. (If you are here next week looking for the Roadshow playlist, just keep scrolling down as it can be found in the post immediately below […]
For today, an interesting (at least I think it is interesting) story about a judicial ethics scenario and the ability of media to “shape” a story and how that ability can transform a question of judicial ethics.

It is always an honor to get to speak at an APRL meeting, and it was particularly an honor to share the stage with Eliza Rodrigues of […]
So, if you missed Part 1 you can get up to speed here. Now I indicated I’d get the underlying documents (plural) this weekend and finish this little thought experiment today, but I don’t actually practice in the International Trade Commission (shocking to hear I bet) so beyond getting to the order of disqualification itself, […]
In preparation for a panel presentation coming up at the end of this month, I have been delving back into the complicated and contradictory world of disqualification rulings from around the country.
