Host Jerry Agar had me on this morning to talk about the NYC government’s attempt to impose gun control nationwide (see yesterday’s post for more details and a link to my Times piece). And many thanks to the various bloggers who’ve linked the piece, starting with Glenn Reynolds.

Tune in: CNN, Wisconsin radio
I’m scheduled as a guest tomorrow on CNN Saturday Morning (8-9 a.m. Eastern time slot), discussing recent developments in criminal cases such as the overturning of Andrea Yates’s conviction (as opposed to civil litigation, my more usual topic)(more on criminal law). And today at around 2:35 p.m. Central I’m scheduled to appear on Madison, Wisc.’s WIBA radio, discussing President Bush’s medical malpractice proposals (more on medicine and law).

NYC radio, tonight and tomorrow
Welcome “All Things Considered” listeners
National Public Radio’s widely aired news show ran a piece yesterday afternoon (Saturday) on lawsuit reform as a factor in the election; the reporter first interviewed me at a couple of minutes’ length, and then turned the floor over to two professors who took the opposite view. The second of the two profs carried on at length about supposed public misunderstanding of the McDonald’s coffee (Stella Liebeck) case in a way that made me wish Ted had gotten some air time. I’m likewise quoted in a Denver Post article analyzing Congress’s failure to pass any litigation reform this term (Anne C. Mulkern, “Lawsuit caps lose support at roll call”, Sept. 13). Karen Selick kindly referenced me this summer in a piece for Canada’s National Post (“Stacking the deck against big tobacco”, Jun. 2, not online). And New York’s esteemed Observer, the one on the orange paper, carried in its last issue a favorable-in-context reference to “the [unnamed] Overlawyered.com guy”, meaning in this case me rather than Ted. (Tom Scocca, “Blogging Off Daily Can Make You Blind”, New York Observer, Sept. 20).
Welcome Ken & Daria Dolan viewers
I was a guest on the Dolans’ CNN Financial show this morning to discuss medical malpractice reform and the presidential race.
Welcome KION-AM Salinas listeners
I was a guest on Mark Carbonaro’s a.m. show this morning on KION-AM in Salinas, Calif. to discuss The Rule of Lawyers. To book a broadcast interview on the book, email me directly or contact Jamie Stockton at the St. Martin’s/Griffin publicity department: 212-674-5151, ext. 502.
Some other recently noted publicity on The Rule of Lawyers: reviewer Art Taylor of Metro Magazine in North Carolina’s Research Triangle named it as one of the top ten nonfiction books of 2003 (Jan.). Writing in Salt Lake City’s Deseret News, Hal Heaton of the Brigham Young University Center for Entrepreneurship devoted much of a column to discussing the book’s contents (“Litigation hinders new ideas, growth”, Jul. 11, not online). And Maurice Neligan, a distinguished cardiac surgeon in Ireland, recommends the book as “most revealing” in a piece published in Irish Times (“Common sense, fat chance”, May 11, not online).
