  • (Speed) Traps for the unwary
    It’s another holiday weekend. That means another press release from the National Motorists Association warning drivers about where you are likely to get caught speeding. The NMA bills itself as a “motorists’ rights group.”
    Back around the 4th of July, we had an item on their list of states where you’re most likely to get a [...]

  • “Take this claim and shove it.”
    If you and your law firm ever have had to deal with a “difficult” employee, here’s one for you.
    A medical clinic in Salem hired a guy named Jones to serve primarily as their receptionist. As in the guy who answered the phones. Who greeted patients. Who was their “Director of First Impressions.”
    That didn’t work out [...]

  • A recipe for disaster
    Here’s a preview of coming attractions.
    In October, we will publish our “Leaders in the Law” magazine, highlighting the honorees in the Class of 2010. Right now we’re collecting info and stories from this year’s group and preparing the copy for the magazine.
    They are a highly successful and accomplished group. But one leader admits [...]

  • One way to go
    The obituaries column in any newspaper, including ours, tends to be pretty sober and sobering.
    But from the obits in the Richmond Times-Dispatch yesterday, here’s one that will make you read it twice.
    A guy who was 67 passed away. The obit says he “was beamed up by Scottie Friday, August 27, 2010, after a [...]

  • Headline of the day
    From the Headlines I Wish I’d Written Department:
    Some headlines are so bad, they’re great. The award today goes to the Wall Street Journal.
    The Journal likes to feature an offbeat human interest story at the bottom of its front page. Today’s entry is about art of butter sculpting, in particular the butter carving competition at [...]

  • Your future clients
    It’s late August, so here’s a back-to-school item.
    Every year since 1998, Beloit College in Wisconsin has released the “Beloit College Mindset List.”
    This list provides a rundown of the cultural touchstones that have shaped the year’s entering freshmen.
    It was started by a Beloit humanities professor, Tom McBride, and a former public affairs director at the school, [...]

  • What would Sharon Stone do?
    There’s a famous scene in the 1992 thriller “Basic Instinct,” starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas.
    No, not that scene.
    This exchange takes place a bit before the part where Stone crosses and uncrosses her legs. Stone, a wealthy socialite, has been hauled into the police station for questioning about ice-pick murders she may or may [...]

  • That’s NOT Italian…
    Anyone who went to Their Majesties’ Royall College or who otherwise spent much time in Williamsburg knows about Sal’s by Victor, the landmark Italian restaurant at the Williamsburg Shopping Center on Richmond Road.
    An electrical fire destroyed Sal’s a year ago, and owner Victor Minichiello just reopened in his original location.
    But in the interim he [...]

  • Gold in Northern Virginia
    Here’s a nugget, so to speak, that I gathered last weekend on the drive home from Pittsburgh (where my daughter is attending grad school this fall):
    Did you know that they used to mine gold in Northern Virginia?
    There’s a sign along Highway 17 in Fauquier County commemorating that fact, not far from Goldvein.
    A [...]

  • Five days flat
    The other shoe has dropped in the case of the Maryland judge who got upset and flattened the tire of the cleaning woman who parked in his parking spot.
    You may recall the story, reported here back in January: Charles County Circuit Judge Robert C. Nalley got angry last September when a cleaning woman parked in [...]
