Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Resigns

As Abbott Drags on, Justices Grow More Discerning of Its Advocates

After 30 years of judicially managing New Jersey's poorest school districts, the state Supreme Court is starting to get a little schoolmarmish - slapping lawyers' wrists when they don't do their sums right.

Lawyers as Pundits, by Way of the Web

Last week, we examined journal-like Web sites, or blogs, that can be of practical use to lawyers. Now here's a look at blogs published by legal professionals that may touch on the law, but are by no means preoccupied with it.
