If you're not reading my other blog, Overlawyered, you're missing out on a lot:

• Intensive coverage -- maybe the most at any blog -- of the policy disaster that is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), the implications of its looming February 10 deadline for small companies that make, sell and resell toys, handcrafted clothing and other children's products, and the prospects for its legislative reform;
• A discussion on streamlining jury selection;
• Why eye-rolling is often the right response when a class action law firm puts out a press release announcing an "investigation";
• Late-night-TV-ad lawyer Jim Sokolove is bankrolling "Civil Gideon" efforts;
• Big discussion of defensive medicine and emergency room testing;


• Design of a Milwaukee highway project sued over (by the ACLU) as unfair to minorities;
• Chicago borrows $260 million just to cover Cook County's outlays on lawsuits and settlements.
