Memorial Day 2009
I first ran the post below for Memorial Day in 2006 as a tribute to my Dad, who served as a soldier during World War II.  This is the fourth straight year for this post, and I'll continue to run it every year.  I've thought of his service often, and have read many books about war and military history to try to understand what he did, what he went through, and also who he was.  As Dickens pointed out in A Tale of Two Cities, the human heart is a mystery even to those cl...

Rigsby update: forgotten but not gone
For those who remember the heady Katrina litigation days of the Ride of the Rigsbys -- appearing on ABC's 20/20, acclaimed as alleged whistleblowers -- these times are very different for the sisters. They've slipped in the celebrity rankings to a most unenviable category: forgotten but not gone.  The inevitable next stage?  Jointly occupying a corner box in the New, New Hollywood Squares, I suppose, hosted by John McEnroe or some such....

Kodrin Katrina case: Fifth Circuit vacates punitive damage award against State Farm, upholds verdict of wind damage
Kodrin v. State Farm is one of the Katrina cases, which I wrote about previously here and here.  It was different from many Katrina cases in that, at least as far as wha...

'Partridge' family reunion: California v. Allstate
I saw this opinion, California v. Allstate, a couple days ago but other things interfered with blogging about it until now. This is a case about coverage for environmental pollution under the "sudden and unexpected" language found in old liability policies, and that is an interesting thing in itself, but what chiefly interested me about this case was the extended discussion of the Partridge case,&nb...

End days for False Claims Act case alleging massive insurer fraud?
You might recall that one of the central talking points by certain people during the heyday of Katrina litigation was this: insurance companies committed massive fraud on policyholders and federal taxpayers by overstating flood damage that would be paid, up to $250,000, by federal flood policies, and understating wind damage that would be paid from the insurers' own pockets. To me this point was like one of those tiny cars in the circus where, paradoxically, a large number of clowns keep comi...

Return to blogging
In the past few months, I've had about, let's see, I've got the number written down somewhere here, about eleventybillion inquiries about when I am going to return to blogging, why I'm not blogging, if I'm dead, abducted by aliens, living in a Buddhist monastery, etc.  These are fair questions, and the answers are:  1. I'm returning to blogging starting this evening.  I don't know that I am going to be able to keep up the pace I once did -- blogging Monday through Friday, federal ho...
