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!

LTNY 2008: AUDIO, VIDEO & BAD HAIR DAYS

We've been scurrying to get the March issue to bed, and I've been also trying to catch up on my sleep post LegalTech New York, so apologies for the quiet.

Here's a few post-LegalTech items for your consideration:

C2c1Robert Ambrogi & J. Craig Williams had LTNY covered, shall I say, "coast to coast." (OK, OK, that was the former name of their weekly LegalTalkNetwork podcast, now re-dubbed Lawyer2Lawyer. From New York, Ambrogi trolled the showfloors, talking to vendors and even Henry Dicker, LTNY's chief. Take a listen to what about a dozen folks had to say, ranging from Thomson Corp.'s John Shaughnessy to Robert Childress, president of Wave Software, to Joseph Scott of Compulaw.

From the West Coast, Craig was kind enough to interview yours truly about key trends at the show. Check it out here. (Scroll down).

• If you missed it, Thomson West also did a podcast, featuring Ambrogi, The Wall Street Journal's Ashby Jones, et moi, here.

The also did videos with Bob et moi, via YouTube, here (see right nav bar) — where you can see that my recent reallllly bad hair cut has not yet fully grown out. Ugh. I think I'll stick to podcasts, and leave the videos to handsome Bob. :)
