Monday law blog round-up
By: Caryn Tamber
Happy Monday! Here are a few law links to start your day:
- Harford County lawyer becomes a Catholic priest, with his son, also a priest, performing vesting honors.
- In its fortunetelling opinion last week, the Court of Appeals “said essentially, (and I’m translating the legalese into plain English here) that even if claims to be able to foretell the future are total BS, how different is that really from all the BS that comes from news reporters and attorneys? It’s all protected BS under the First Amendment.”
- A company that operates three kosher food stands at the Mets’ Citi Field is suing the team for preventing it from selling on the Jewish Sabbath, claiming it has approval from its Baltimore-based kosher certifier, Star-K, to do so. There is no such approval, Star-K says.
- A Miami attorney was stopped from seeing jailed client because her underwire bra set off the metal detector. She ducked in a bathroom and slipped it off–and was then stopped because prison visitor dress code requires women to wear bras. HT: ABA Journal.
- The New York Times peeks inside the unit that investigates whether marriages between citizens and non-citizens are legitimate. “Some couples offer photographic evidence in the mistaken belief that the government requires proof of a marriage’s consummation,” the article says. Oh dear. HT: Above the Law.
