Happy Holidays

Happy Constitution Day!

In honor thereof: fight for your 7th Amendment rights. We're highlighting the 7th not because it's more important or better for our lawyer friends than the others, but because it is the one Amendment nobody seems to love. It's the paschal lamb of all political parties, every side of the health care debate, most discussions about the economy, and several private arbitrators (some of whom have dollar signs for eyes).

A good read: The Seventh Amendment, Modern Procedure and the English Common Law, Suja Thomas, Washington University Law Quarterly, vol. 82, p. 687 (2004).
