Civil Jury Verdicts – December 2015

The number of jury trials going out in our state trial courts continues to drop each year, and the trials-to-actual-verdict ratio seems to experience an even greater percentage drop. The experience in our local Bay Area courts follows the downward trend. Of course, the reasons are many and varied and open to wild speculation. Anecdotally, […]

Bar Soap – August 2015

Okay, you noticed this column is both a Bar Soap and a Civil Jury Verdicts column. I have been sitting on a couple of trial reports while waiting for more, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. So, this will be a combined column. Let’s start with the verdicts. I received a “Client Alert” stating […]

Bar Soap: June 2015

Admittedly, I have been remiss in preparing this Bar Soap column. Many things of interest have arisen within the past two months, and I am hopeful I can report on all of them, so let’s get started. The April Welcome Celebration for our new Bar Association Executive Director, Theresa Hurley, was a great success. Many […]

Coroner’s Inquests – Published in Contra Costa Lawyer March 2015

For a number of years, I have served as the hearing officer in Coroner’s Inquests in Contra Costa County and a few other Northern California counties. I am often asked to explain the process. In doing so, more often I discuss what it is not, rather than what a Coroner’s Inquest actually entails. In most […]

Bar Soap: February 2015

It does seem quite a while since I penned a Bar Soap column for the Contra Costa Lawyer. Perhaps so, but here goes the latest … and actually, I did not “pen” this article. My kids give me a hard enough time with my electronic skills or lack thereof, so I want to make it […]

Bar Soap – October 2014

My, my, had I known I could get responses by giving a grammar lesson, I would have done it years ago. Thanks to all for your input. I received comments on Super Lawyers, verdicts, settlements, lawyers on Courtcall and lawyers on the move. Speaking of lawyers on the move, I see that Peter Langley has […]

Bar Soap: June 2014

I am feeling a little better now that many members are contacting me to ask, “When are Jury Verdict and Bar Soap articles coming out?” I now have enough information to prepare both a Civil Jury Verdicts article, and a Bar Soap article. Having said that, I do still need information from all of you […]

Bar Soap - March 2012

Goodness! After years of begging for jury verdicts for my column, I have finally found out how to get people’s attention: Report that someone has moved and taken a new job. I think the strategy will be to say: “John Doe has just joined a new firm and has been nominated for ABODA, so if […]

Bar Soap - January 2012

It has been a while, so where to start? How about a solution for the Occupy Movement? Lots of vacant office space in the East Bay due to law firm break-ups. Simply move the folks in and voilá! In fact, 1331 N. California Boulevard in Walnut Creek is particularly in need of some occupation. The […]

Bar Soap - August 2011

Feeling a bit confused and confounded with this new column? So, let’s see: It’s a bit gossip, some facts about people on the move, some jury verdicts, some court verdicts, some interesting settlements and perhaps some not so interesting comments from me. Do I have that right? And when I have enough jury verdict reports, […]
