I'm starting to sound like a broken record. This isn't just a product of my age and fast-approaching senility. I seem to being singing the same song in blog after blog. I suppose that's because I see the same issues over and over, but I have to admit, I'm getting...

New Jersey Employment, School Harassment, School Discrimination and Civil Rights Attorney Discusses Cyber Bullying and the Law
I recently served as a panelist on a "Cyber Bullying" panel for our local bar association. It got me to thinking that this is a timely topic for the Journey to Justice. There's so much to say about this that I'm going to have to guard against being too wordy. I want...

Employment and Civil Rights Attorney discusses the Citizens United Decision and Corporate Status
The dialogue in this country often mis-appreciates - sometimes broadly and badly - what the law actually says about something. That's understandable, though regrettable and correctable. In the same way that most people completely fail to understand medicine the way...
Employment and Civil Rights Attorney Discusses United States Supreme Court Case Involving Proposition 8
I've used that title about roses before, because it works. I've also talked often about marriage equality in this blog. I'm not gay and I'm married. My marriage is very precious to me; it's very meaningful to be married. It's not the same thing as a "committed"...
