Arizona criminal defense blog
Brown and Little's criminal defense blog in Phoenix, Arizona is a newer site that is worth reading. They tend to get stuck in the mode of blogging about this crime or that crime (as do I, sometimes - consciously or unconsciously, with search engines in mind), but there are some very interesting reads on the site. Given the recent discussions about blogs designed solely for legal marketing v. blogs that actually contribute something to the information highway, it is refreshing to see a new blog that is not solely self-promotion and self-aggrandizing.
I missed this post back in June, where a federal judge in Connecticut ruled that it was not discrimination for police departments to refuse to hire persons who scored too high on intelligence tests:
In a ruling made public on Tuesday, Judge Peter C. Dorsey of the United States District Court in New Haven agreed that the plaintiff, Robert Jordan, was denied an opportunity to interview for a police job because of his high test scores. But he said that that did not mean Mr. Jordan was a victim of discrimination.Judge Dorsey ruled that Mr. Jordan was not denied equal protection because the city of New London applied the same standard to everyone: anyone who scored too high was rejected.
Some of the better posts follow day to day life in the practice of criminal defense, such as today's diatribe on the hoops we have to jump through to get information out of mental health professionals.
My only complaint is that you cannot tell who is writing what - there is obviously a Brown and a Little, but no identification on each blog post. Keep up the good work.
