The question above is one that Scott Greenfield is asking over at Simple Justice . It seems that Brooklyn Lawyer Marina Tylo screwed up by serving a Summons prior to purchasing an index number. That's a no-no in New York, and has been for years. You have to first pay the index number fee to start the suit, then serve the summons. Tylo was then sued for legal malpractice. But because the...

I was going to write something about Hiu Lui Ng's death from untreated cancer while in the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, but Scott Greenfield beat me to it.

Some critics might suggest that blogging requires only an opinion and the ability to type (and perhaps that blawgging only takes those two plus some legal coursework), but Scott Greenfield consistently provides counterexamples at his Simple Justice blog. Greenfield's writing concerning criminal law generally and criminal defense particularly is compelling stuff; what's more, he...
