About
The Common Scold



The Common Scold is named after a cause of action that originated in Pilgrim days, when meddlesome, argumentative, opinionated women who displeased the Puritan elders were punished by a brisk dunk in the local pond. Believe it or not, the tort lasted until 1972, when State v. Palendrano, 120 N.J. Super. 336, 293 A.2d 747 (N.J.Super.L., Jul 13, 1972) pretty much put it to rest. But the thought of those feisty women, not afraid of a little cold water, has always cheered me up and inspired me. I first used the moniker as the name of my humor column at the University of San Francisco School of Law many moons ago, and revive it now for this blawg!

OH WHAT A NIGHT!

Star_1  The 2nd Annual LTN Awards Dinner was wonderful! Special thanks to Monika Schreiner and her team for a beautiful room -- everything was color coordinated to the room's maroon and green color scheme -- including the fabulous flowers at each table!

Monika carried the LTN "star" theme -- our awards are crystal stars -- thoughout the decor, and even to the desert -- the piece de resistance was the tall white chocolate star filled with white chocolate mouse and three raspberries -- and an accent strip of dark chocolate with stars printed on it... amazing, beautiful, and tasty! It was a lovely event!
