      Sometimes I really start to think it might be a little bit of fun being a lawyer in the US...


      Admit it, the common law calls out to you . That civil law is getting old .

      Ah, have to love it when the home state gets on national news. The Torch was scum and I'm glad he left, but he only did it because he was going to lose. He wasn't as teflon as he thought.

          And apart from tort law, most fun seems to be statute-based anyway....

            Why shouldnt they switch if they're losing? Clearly this action goes against the law, the only question is whether its constitutional to deprive the voters of a choice of candidates. Surely, the knowledgeable voters of NJ will be able to decide who they prefer to have represent them based upon the merits of the candidates not upon how long they've been campaigning.

                Probably.

                I need to do public procurement law here. That one's hilarious. Looking forward to it.

                    Don't know that one. But I broke down laughing when one of our news mags here published in all seriousness a babelfish translation of the Starr report. It hurt, trust me, it really hurt...

                            From what I have heard from the oral arguments it seems like the NJSC will vote in favor of the Dems.

                                If they do, then this really will begin to resemble the mess in Florida, with state judges overruling the legislature on a strictly procedural matter.
