It is a warm 74 degrees as I type this. I love summer. Sorry there was no Jumpstart this morning, but I had to be in early. Here’s what I would have posted, if I had the time:
- Susan Cartier Liebel asks if we’re workaholics and reminds us to enjoy life.
- Ken Lammers at CrimLaw is on a roll (and I mean roll). Over 80 posts in 2 days. Beat that Scott!
- Via CrimProf, a new paper on the meteoric rise of the need for “closure” in the criminal justice system.
- Mark Bennett writes about the impact of the advancement in DNA science and human behavior.
- Anne Reed reminds us to always be prepared during jury selection.
- EvidenceProf engages in an interesting discussion of the rape-shield laws and the exceptions thereto.
- Yet another flawed ID leading to another exoneration.
- Grits reflects on the mess in Texas.
- Giles v. California will be argued tomorrow, focusing on forfeiture and the Confrontation Clause. Prof. Friedman has a preview here.
- NJ’s Supreme Court rules that an internet user has a right to privacy.
- This week’s Blawg Review is about law and virtual worlds.
- Norm Pattis tells us why we need to videotape all interrogations.
- Scott comments on the Federal government’s disturbing announcement that it will start collecting DNA from arrestees. My comments on a similar CT bill here.
- Luke Gilman thinks the ban on classroom internet may not be such a bad idea.
- Orin Kerr’s critique of the Middle District of Florida’s decision striking down the Adam Walsh Act as unconstitutional.
- David Giacalone at f/k/a asks if you’ve ever been punched by a client.
- And finally, there’s this little story about this little blog.
Enjoy the rest of the day!

Thanks for pointing to my “punch” posting, Gideon. On a more substantive matter, I hope you’ll check out and respond to my post “poorly framed in Schenectady”, where a public defender let his client present an obviously bogus alibi (and tried to frame a fictitious person, using a photo from a picture frame).

David, somehow I missed that post, despite subscribing to your blog via my RSS reader. In any event, I left a comment there.
Good for you about the Advocate article and the readers you’re gathering. As politicized as CT is, stay anonymous or you will be a target.
P.S. Is that you we see on the dock?
Haha. No, it is not. Wrong sex.
Hee. How does anyone know? crossed my mind.
That’s true. No one truly knows. I like to keep people guessing. I could be the girl in the picture. I could be the dragonfly on the girl in the picture. I could be you!
Which is not such a stretch. Some or most of our clients have more than one alias. What an idea!
I like it! I can post as several different people at once!
Female is never the wrong sex anyway!
Can’t argue with that!
Thanks for the shoutout. I like your sunbathing edition.
I thought it was a nice touch.
