Some people never learn...

Remember the DC administrative law judge who claimed $54 million in damages over a missing pair of pants? He's at it again, although this time he is only after $1 million and his job back.

Inside the mind of a juror

Trial attorneys often wonder what goes on inside the jury room. Here's a very detailed look thanks to a juror in the Uma Thurman stalking case who also happens to be a reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

How did this slip through?

Not being a patent attorney, I don't pay much attention to patent law. There are occasionally stupid patent decisions that get my ire up, but by and and large the ins and outs of patent procedure, but apparently two-thirds of the patent judges were unconstitutionally appointed. DoJ hasn't even denied it, and constitutional lawyers are all in agreement that it's not even close.

This could REALLY muck things up for the patent bar, which (unsurprisingly) didn't notice the error because patent attorneys are generally not accustomed to thinking about things constitutionally. Imagine all the patent hearings and appeals that must be redone, that are invalidated, all those millions once again at stake.
