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!

WOMEN CHEFS EVENT BENEFITS SHARE

I turn the microphone over to Roberta Gelb, longtime member of the Law Technology News  Editorial Advisory Board, and the principal of Chelsea Office Systems in New York City:

Gelbchef The breast cancer organization, SHARE, is having a major fund raiser, The Women Chefs Event  and it is wonderful – fabulous venue (Pier 60 – great view of the Hudson) and delicious food.  Here’s the link . The lobster rolls from Pearl Oyster Bar are worth the admission. September 20, 2010, 7 pm.

Also, SHARE, just got a 4-star rating (the highest) at Charity Navigator, An independent charity evaluator, it works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of more than 5,500 of America's largest charities.
