Law blog roundup
By: Danielle Ulman
It’s a sleepy Monday morning following the Ravens’ late-night win last night, but we’ve still managed to round up some interesting law tidbits for you below.
- Do nursing home lawsuits solve the problem of abuse and negligent care?
- A look at who is using Legal Aid these days.
- U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings is not pleased with a New York foreclosure law firm that held a pretty tasteless Halloween party last year where its employees dressed up as homeless people. The New York Times published pictures last week.
- Kelvin Sewell, a former Baltimore homicide detective hopped the pond to visit Glasgow, Scotland to compare crime levels there with ours in Charm City. (HT: Baltimore Crime)
- Study finds media distorts the public’s perception on jury awards. (Turns out we only like to publish the big ones.)
- Oh, good. A law firm hires a consultant, learns it (the law firm) discriminates against women but decides not to change its system.
- 11th Circuit tells Cubans to get to the party on their own.
