It’s Jumpstart time! There have been a bunch of stories over the past week I’ve wanted to write about, but haven’t had the time, so here they are, plus the usual suspects:

• NPR did a three part series on Angola and the convictions of Woodfox and Wallace. Must read/listen.
• The Judicial Branch website has updated its page of “common legal words” with links to forms and instructions.
• Making law is interpreting law.
• From Deliberations, who is qualified for death?
• Will prostitution become legal in SanFran?
• Do cops always side with businesses over customers?
• CDW’s weekly edition is here.

And my feed reader has died, so this is all you’ll get. Remember to vote tomorrow and vote NO on question 1 in CT.
