In case you hadn't noticed, I'm back to posting regularly. Some huge developments in life, along with serious Internet problems, kept me from posting. I'm back.
I won't, however, have time to catch up with all of the appellate court cases I usually summarize for the blog. Thus, you should read Appellate Law & Practice and the indispensible Decision of the Day if you want to learn what happened in the many interesting criminal and civil rights cases that were decided when I pulled a Rip Van Winkle.
