ARTICLES DISCLAIMER
Many of the articles in our blog section (and elsewhere on this website) were orginally written many years ago for a column in a local bar journal. While they were written with tongue firmly in cheek, the basic lessons intended remain sound today. Please comment on them or ask me any questions privately.
