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!

LEGALTECH PODCASTS FROM FUTURETECH TRACK

Tomorrow_3They're up! Our "six-pack" of podcasts from the "TomorrowLand" panel of the Law Technology News presents FutureTech track at last month's LegalTech West Coast are now available at Law.com's Law Technology Now site. (You can also find it at the Legal Talk Network, and on iTunes!)

You can listen to the predictions and wisdom from Tom Baldwin, Craig Ball, Doug Caddell, Peter Hsiao, Judith Flournoy, and J. Craig Williams, and download PowerPoints. With a nod to Disneyland's iconic venue, we looked forward to the "tomorrows" of legal technology.

It took quite a team effort to make this happen. First, thanks to our audience for graciously helping us with the bumps and gurgles that happen when recording a live program. Your enthusiasm (and patience) was much appreciated as we coped with the Murphy's Law tech problems! We learned a lot that will help future efforts! (Cue the cute kid with the big hair and the dog -- "The sun will come up...Tomorrow!")

Second, thanks to our amazing speakers, who stepped up to the proverbial plate to deliver amazing content. You are terrific!

Third, thanks to BlueArc, our sponsor of the live program and the podcasts, for joining us on this inaugural effort. (Be sure to visit their website to learn about their network storage offerings). 

Finally, Huge, huge, huge thanks to the indefatigueable teams at Law.com, the Legal Talk Network , and Law Technology News, including Jill Windwer, Lu Ann Reeb and her entire team, and Katie Montgomery and Russ Curtis for unending support.

Enjoy the podcasts!

Hat tip to Craig Ball for the graphic!
