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!

Editors' Breakfast @ LegalTech NY

LTNYA quick reminder that ALM will continue our tradition of our Editors’ Breakfast Tuesday, Jan. 31,  at 8 a.m., in the Petit Trianon room, at the Hilton — followed by our bloggers’ get together. 

David Snow, head of our ALM technology unit, will kick off the breakfast with a short report about ALM’s recent survey of vendors — we asked them how they see the current State of the [Legal Technology] Union. This is a great oppty for vendors and PR teams to meet “face-to-face” with editorial staff from our national publications and newsletters.  It’s free, no badges are required.

Finally, a reminder that Exhibit Hall/Keynote/Plenary session badges are free BEFORE the show, but cost $50 onsite. So if you have procrastinated, hit this website pronto.

I look forward to seeing you there!  If you have any questions, you can reach David at dsnow@alm.com.
