The July 19 post on Overlawyered titled "Who wins from lawsuit abuse? Hint: It's not you or me" bashes our lawsuit-happy culture and finds it alive and well. Steve Hantler argues that the costs of abusive lawsuits translate into higher consumer costs, higher taxes, lost jobs, and stifled innovation. You and I pay for frivolous lawsuits, Hantler says.

Anne Reed's Deliberations quotes Judge William G. Young in a July 18 post titled "Is the Jury System Dying?" According to Young, "the American jury system is dying. It is dying faster in the federal courts than in the state courts. It is dying faster on the civil side than...on the criminal side, but it is dying." Reed deliberates upon the issue in a post filled with informative links worth checking out.


The July 18 post on the Legal History Blog titled "Bravo on Exploring the Analogy between Modern Trafficking in Humans and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade" discusses Karen E. Bravo's new paper on the subject. Mary L. Dudziak considers at length the analogy and concludes that "comparisons of the modern trafficking in humans, white slavery, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade reveal the essential nature of the phenomena—at bottom, they all trade in human labor."

A July 18 post on SCOTUSBLOG titled "Gun owners urge Court to move case along" turns readers' focus once again toward the debate over handgun control laws that gained steam and then subsided after the massacre at Virginia Tech.

Well, that's it for this week, folks. See you next week!
