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!

GOLD & BRONZE TABBIES!

First_2 We've just received word that Craig Ball's Ball in Your Court column in Law Technology News has won Gold in the 2008 TABBIES awards, presented by the Trade Association Business Publications International. More than 700 publications competed in this international competition, and it's the second year in a row that Ball snared the top prize for best regular column. Congrats, Craig! Here's his most recent column.

Our EDD Showcase (October, with the anchor reported article, "An Undercurrent of Fear" ) took Bronze in the  "Special Section" category.

Re: Ball in Your Court, the judges said: "Excellent layout. The writing is a departure from unnecessary legalese, with a nice explanation to the myth of evidence (page equivalency)."

Re: EDD Showcase: "Well balanced editorial, appropriate and applicable for the market it serves; articles well researched to give different opinions. Layout draws reader into topics, lives up to initial promise of magazine."

Here's the 411: http://www.tabpi.org/2008/2008e.htm

Congrats to our LTN team!
