Happy First Friday! This week, as far as news, we’ve got one new job opportunity added.
We also want to mention that we are still updating our Case Summaries list. Most recently, we’ve added the published delinquency opinion for In re J.B., which deals with self-incrimination. We do want to apologize for any issues with the links to the PDF versions of the opinions. The addresses still work when copied into a browser, but we are aware that the hyperlink within the document gives an error message. We apologize for that inconvenience, and we are still seeking solutions around it.
