Chronicling the high cost of our legal system

Overlawyered

January 26th, 2004 at 7:50 am

Radio this a.m.; Indiana on Wed.

Updated: I had been scheduled to be a guest on Laura Ingraham’s national radio show this morning, but it didn’t wind up happening. Also, I’m set to speak on Wednesday to the Federalist Society chapters in Indianapolis (breakfast) and Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington (lunch), weather permitting.

In Indiana; law schools; live in person; on TV and radio
