  • All that fine print on contracts — what sort of legal effect does it have, and should you feel obliged to read it? I’m quoted, as are legal bloggers David Rossmiller and Ron Coleman (Katherine Reynolds Lewis, New Orleans Times-Picayune, Jul. 29, and other Newhouse papers)

  • Again with the guru business, and I can’t even fold my legs properly (Joe Palazzolo, “Giuliani Burnishes Conservative Credentials With Choice of Legal Policy Advisers”, Legal Times, Jul. 25)

  • I’m quoted criticizing a federal lawsuit filed against the City of New York for its use of written tests to screen aspiring firefighters’ reading and writing skills (Ari Paul, ” Accuse UFA Head Of Racial Politics; Rip Support of Fire Test”, The Chief/Civil Service Leader, Jul. 27 — not yet available to nonsubscribers).
