The American Association for Justice is holding its “Weekend with the Stars” in NYC starting Friday, Dec. 11. (Using CLE as an excuse for Christmas shopping in Manhattan, and who can blame them.)

The Saturday agenda features these topics:

• The Psychological Impact of Jury Selection
• The Reptilian Brain
• Ethics for Trial Lawyers

And now I can’t stop humming the Jets vs. the Sharks song from West Side Story. Would this make the Jets the reptiles?
