Putting the Web to Work for You
Have you ever wanted one action on the Web automatically trigger another action? For example, if you post a tweet, it automatically becomes a LinkedIn or Facebook update or if you star a blog post in Google Reader, it automatically gets added to your Evernote account. IFTTT (If This, Than That) is a web service does exactly that. In this episode of the Kennedy-Mighell Report, Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell discuss web automation and IFTTT, how it might make your life a little easier, and the role this type of service might play for the busy lawyer.

‘Mt. Holly’ takes the place of ‘squelched’ St. Paul suit
Now, the same issue is back before the high court, which yesterday accepted cert in Mt. Holly Gardens Citizens in Action v. Mt. Holly. Forbes online describes Mt. Holly as the first impact to reach the Supreme Court since the administration was accused of engineering a settlement that “squelched” the St. Paul case.
Also according to Forbes, Philadelphia lawyer John Culhane said, “The perception is the Supreme Court has taken this case because it feels there is no disparate-impact theory of liability, and is prepared to rule to that effect.” The Third Circuit ruled that plaintiffs had made a prima facie case of disparate impact.
Magner has been on hold in Minnesota federal court while the parties awaited the Supreme Court’s determination on Mount Holly.

Paralegals Are Key in Witness Preparation
Katherine James was getting her masters in acting when her mentor was called to jury duty. The stories he had after his experience in court inspired her to open ACT of Communication: Consultants in the Art of Advocacy. The organization brings state-of-the-art communication skills to attorneys and their witnesses. James uses what she learned in acting school, like the importance of eye contact and clear communication, to prep attorneys and witnesses for the courtroom. With more than 30 years of experience, she has helped take more than 15,000 cases to trial.
On this edition of The Paralegal Voice host Vicki Voisin talks with James about her career in witness preparation and the importance of paralegals in her work. James stresses that paralegals are the key to getting to know witnesses, the first step to making them feel comfortable with their role in the case. She also provides tips for witness preparation such as practicing on camera, the importance of appearance and wardrobe, and more.
There is also a surprise interview at the end of the show where listeners can get to know Jericka Lyon, fellow paralegal and winner of a trip to Los Angeles and tickets to the Dancing With the Stars Finale through the Legal Talk Network giveaway!

Think Twice Before You Stick Out Your Tongue
No need to think twice about sticking out your tongue, either in the United States, or probably almost everywhere except ... Italy. You may not believe this but, as reported by UPI, "Italy's highest court of appeal affirmed the illegality of insulting someone by sticking your tongue out at them."
The case brought before the Cassation Court involved a farmer whose tongue gesture was captured by a cellphone camera held by the neighbor with whom he was arguing.
The farmer, Carlo O., had been convicted by a justice of the peace of insulting the neighbor, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.
The Cassation Court let stand the conviction and ordered Carlo O. to pay his neighbor's court costs of $1,863.81. He will also have to pay damages, which will be set in a different trial, the news agency said Friday.
Italian courts often find people guilty of offending someone's honor, ANSA reported.Wow. And to think the U.S. insurance and business lobbies complain endlessly about frivolous lawsuits...

Wisdom revised
From Alan Weiss, my coach, who develops pithy sayings to sum up the human experience. In his latest one, he says It's not "garbage in, garbage out" these days. It's "garbage in, garbage gets stuck and clogs everything up."
So let's look at the world as it is and, to paraphrase another saying, work with what we can control and ignore the rest. Our lives would be much happier and more productive.
Every time I have a complaint, I see the person next to me with a greater problem or challenge. I realize how blessed I am. Have a great Monday and rest of the week..

Twice convicted of fraud, lawyer gives up license
A lawyer who pleaded guilty in April to taking part in two separate massive fraud schemes now has surrendered her Virginia law license.
Seung Oh Kang of Annandale – convicted under the name Sueng E. Oh – admitted taking part in a small business loan fraud scheme said to involve more than $100 million in losses to a federal program. Kang also admitted to misappropriating millions in real estate loan money in Virginia as part of an operation that produced 11 guilty pleas.
“These defendants have admitted to bilking millions of dollars from our financial institutions by falsely inflating costs of doing business while processing short sales, keeping payoffs from mortgages thought to have been refinanced, and illegally borrowing against escrow accounts of homeowners in Northern Virginia,” said FBI official Valerie Parlave when the real estate convictions were announced last month.
Kang, who had a settlement company in Annandale, pleaded guilty to charges in Maryland federal court in the small business loan scam and in Virginia federal court in connection with the real estate scam.
On June 7, the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board suspended Kang’s license to practice law based on her Maryland conviction.
On June 24, the board revoked Kang’s license to practice law. In consenting to the revocation, Kang admitted that the charges against her are true and that she could not successfully defend against them, according to the VSB.

The Most Unusual Criminal Gang Ever?
These women knew that they were virtually untouchable by the police. Why? Because they were pregnant (or suckling)! Per the Qianjiang Evening News (via ChinaDaily):
A group of 46 pregnant women were arrested and prosecuted for theft in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.
The women, who committed more than 400 thefts a month in the city, vary in ages from 20 to 40. They repeatedly got pregnant, because police will not usually arrest pregnant women or women suckling. One member in the group even got pregnant eight times in 10 years.
After they were arrested, the number of robberies in the city decreased noticeably.If you know of a stranger gang, The Juice is all ears.

The Impact of Voter ID Laws and Voter Purges
Before 2006, not a single US state required voters to show identification before marking a ballot. But now, 30 states have enacted some sort of voter identification law. Are these laws necessary to prevent voter fraud or are laws being passed to discourage low income groups, the elderly and minorities from voting? Lawyer2Lawyer co-host and attorney, Craig Williams, joins Professor Richard L. Hasen, from the University of California, Irvine and Wendy Weiser, Director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, to talk voter ID laws in battleground states, voter purges and the potential impact on the upcoming election.

An Awful Long Time
Via Mike Masnick at Techdirt:
It's very hard to protect us and do all that constitutiony stuff. Work, work, work. Shucks.

While much of the news coverage of FBI Director Robert Mueller's Congressional hearing this week focused on his admission that the FBI has used drones domestically, there were some other points raised, including his "defense" of the broad surveillance techniques that appears to amount to the idea that it just takes too long to obey the Constitution and go through the proper procedures before getting information:I couldn't have said it better myself.Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Mueller addressed a proposal to require telephone companies to retain calling logs for five years — the period the N.S.A. is keeping them — for investigators to consult, rather than allowing the government to collect and store them all. He cautioned that it would take time to subpoena the companies for numbers of interest and get the answers back.Well, shucks
“The point being that it will take an awful long time,” Mr. Mueller said.

Law means a better life, not death
The following note is prompted by the comments of Susan Cartier Liebel of Solo Practice University® and her post about Kimberly, a young mother who just gave birth to her third child and was a 3L law student at Stetson. She became ill but failed to go to a doctor to address her own health. She was busy with her family and "stuff."
This is for all of you out there whether lawyer or law student, mother or father, who puts
themselves last. You put off going to the doctor for that chronic cough while you rush your child to the pediatrician for a hang nail. You eat your cold dinner out of a jar standing up and talking on the phone while you make sure your child’s meal is hot and she’s seated lest she choke on her food. You do so because ‘you can handle it’. Well, here’s the truth. You can’t.
You can’t care for your kids or your spouse if you break down physically. You can’t care for your clients if you don’t take time to reinvigorate and refresh. Remember the airline admonition: Put your air mask on first and then help your child and others around you. None of us are superhuman or immortal. There is nothing more important than your health, no final, no brief, no exam, no trial, no event. Remember this the next time you get no sleep or ignore that persistent cough or inexplicable pain in your side because ‘you don’t have time’ to slow down. Remember you can break down, too. No machine and certainly no human can work without stop and without repair from time to time.
