A circuit split on alternative methods? Not yet
In Glossip v. Gross (2015), the Supreme Court adopted the position of the plurality opinion in Baze v. Rees (2008) that a death row prisoner challenging a method of execution must show that it presents a "risk of severe pain [that] is substantial 'when compared to the known and available alternatives.' "Justice Sotomayor dissented from the Supreme Court's decision not to grant a stay of execution and take up the Arkansas execution cases, McGehee v. Hutchison, No. 16-877, saying the high court should resolve a split of opinion in the courts of appeals as to the meaning of "available."But is there a split? Not really. Not yet. The majority (one short of unanimous) of the Eighth Circuit en banc said, "we concur with the Eleventh Circuit that the State must have access to the alternative and be able to carry out the alternative method relatively easily and reasonably quickly. Arthur v. Comm'r, Ala. Dep't of…

Bad Timing, Bad Choices, Bad Lawyers
The announcement that Whittier Law School was closing couldn’t have been a huge surprise. Too many law schools pumping out too many graduates for too few jobs and too little money. At SJW law blog, Above the Law, Staci Zaretsky slyly posed whether it was being shut down because “it’s full of minority students.” The 2016 bar passage rate for Whittier was 22%. Make of that what you will, but it seems inconceivable, bordering on impossible, that any law school could do that badly. Yet it did. What has gone so horribly wrong? At the Atlantic, Leigh Abramson, a former lawyer, writes that law is the only profession that has an industry devoted to helping people quit. I went to law school because I didn’t know what to do after college and I’m bad at math. Law school seemed like a safe, respectable path and gave me an easy answer to what I was going to do with my life. And, as part of the millennial generation obsessed with test scores and…

Is Ledell Lee’s Blood On Gorsuch’s Hands?
Arkansas put Ledell Lee to death after the Supreme Court denied a stay by a 5-4 margin. Is his blood on the newest associate justice’s hands? Of course it is. Just as it’s on the hands of the other four judges who refused the stay. And all the state court judges who did the same. And Governor Asa Hutchinson. But the New York Times uses new math to make this all about Justice Gorsuch. It’s not entirely fair to judge a Supreme Court justice based on his first vote. Urgent matters arise unexpectedly, and the court must sometimes act quickly. This is a curious intro, as it creates a veneer of fairness, deflects criticism, by conceding that it’s “not entirely fair.” But it raises a strawman. Was the problem an emergency stay? Was it too urgent for the new kid to grasp? Was he forced to act too quickly to make the right decision? Was that the problem? If he had more time, might he have done as the Times believes he should have done? Please. Gorsuch…

POLICÍAS - ALBAÑILES
El día de ayer 21-04-2017 en Radio Exitosa en el programa del señor Nicolás Lucar finalmente se entrevistó al abogado de los policías albañiles, la situación es la siguiente (en mi comentario a lo que escribiera Hugo Guerra sobre militares -Diario Expreso- en este blog resumo algunos hechos), no son nueve policías sino entre nueve y quince que se turnaban para trabajar en la casa de la mamá de la enamorada del número dos de la PNP. Los policías albañiles han sido dados de baja. El número dos podría pasar al retiro sin que el abogado pudiera confirmar o asegurar el dato. El ejercicio del poder transforma al ser humano, lo transporta a la edad de piedra, lo convierte en una alimaña repulsiva. El orden jerárquico en cualquier institución armada en nuestro país "democrático" es bueno no olvidarlo, permite se cometan…

Short Take: Them’s Fighting Words
Following Vermont’s governor for life’s pronouncement on the twitters that hate speech isn’t free speech, a rain of lawyers and scholars poured down on his head. But Howard Dean was not to be silenced. For WAPO and others raising issues about hate speech not being constitutionally protected, read “Chaplinsky v New Hampshire SCOTUS 1942 — Howard Dean (@GovHowardDean) April 22, 2017 So what if Eugene Volokh, and every other lawyer with even minimal knowledge of First Amendment law, banged their head on their desk? I’m pleased to say that I have read Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), which is usually cited as recognizing a “fighting words” exception to the First Amendment — personally addressed face-to-face insults that are likely to start an imminent fight are not constitutionally protected. But that has little to do with “hate speech” as most people tend to use the phrase…. But who reads Eugene…

Connecticut Parents: Know the Risks of Hosting Underage Drinking Parties
It’s prom and graduation party time in Connecticut. And it’s also the time when many of the best Darien, Greenwich and New Canaan Connecticut criminal lawyers and attorneys get calls from parents who want to know if it’s legal to serve alcohol at a prom or graduation party. Short answer: It’s not. And it’s not legal to let the kids bring their own alcohol to your house, basement, pool house, or anywhere else on your property. Darien, New Canaan and Greenwich Connecticut police are stepping up underage drinking law enforcement during prom and graduation party time, and if you’re not careful, you could find yourself arrested for a felony, as well as publicly shamed and humiliated online and on Google with arrest reports and mug shots. The Days of Taking Keys and Throwing a “Safe” Alcohol Drinking Party in Connecticut are Long Gone For many years, Connecticut police and prosecutors tolerated drinking parties where Stamford, Darien…
