WEIRD CASES| What do Jurors think?

Breach of fiduciary duty cases illustrate what damages are all about. Sexual relations between consenting adults are probably not great damages cases and rely heavily on the victim's ability to communicate and the way they do it in front of an audience. Just how vulnerable was the victim is also a critical issue. My damages professor always illustrated the dilemma a jury has to confront by asking us to consider a bad facial injury to a hobo who spends his life down by the train terminal warming his hands over a burn barrel and the same injury to a famous fashion model ~ then he asked us to debate "do you really think a jury of twelve intelligent citizens are going to give the bum the same amount of pain and suffering they give the model?"

Report gives stimulus package high marks

The TARP bail out of the Financial Industry has apparently been a huge success. I didn't need the Washington Post to tell me that, however. A quick review of my meager stock portfolio which has more than doubled since TARP wen into effect [and the President took office]. Had the President been a more effective leader there is no telling where it might have skyrocketed. The President is, however, learning a hug job on the job. At this point I have him graded a solid C and he is working on a B- in my book. I have come to the opinion in my old age that perhaps we should give him another term rather than elect another person who will learn on the job too ... unless the Republicans can bring forth an unknown that has experience ... and that just is not going to happen. President Obama appears to be pro business. Now if he can just decide to put on the big boy pants of being President of the United States and stop doing a black impression of Jimmy Carter, traveling around prefacing every speech with a Mea Cupla on behalf of our country ... and instead project a vision for the future and lead he would get a solid A in my book. I am keeping my figures crossed but not holding my breath.
