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 WRAPUP

Gladwell1v3 Whirlwind: The booths are dismantled but the buzz remains intense, as we wrap up LegalTech New York.


We saw significant new releases from companies large (Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis) and small (Rosen Technologies); learned a lot about Judge Shira Scheindlin's important new ruling on legal holds; listened with awe as Malcolm Gladwell  and Lisa Sanders (right with David Craig) compared the legal and medical professions; felt more confident about drafting social networking policies; quietly cried as the Cambodia Ambassador to the United Nations, Sea Kosal, accepted the award to the Cambodia Tribunal for its creative technology; networked with established and new friends; and had such energetic conversations that we are all losing our voices.

The conference had an unexpected undercurrent: optimism.

Thank you to everyone. See you in Los Angeles in June.

Monica, terrific observation about the undercurrent of optimism. For all the discussion of out-of-control e-discovery costs, the ineffectiveness of many corporate matter management systems, firm layoffs, and general sense that the world hasn't finished going through tough times, there was indeed a feeling that we're gonna get through it -- and that the best way to get there is surrounded by the bright people who make up so much of this industry.

Thanks for your own role in pulling it all together -- the editors/bloggers breakfast, your omnipresence and blogging, and an undiminished spirit of adventure.
