		<title>So, who wants to be a juror?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You probably know that if you are a practicing lawyer, you can get out of jury duty.
The Virginia Code provides an exemption in § 8.01-341. In addition to exempting the president, the governor and any judge of any court, the section says at (5) that “licensed practicing attorneys” get a pass from “serving on civil [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Guy: Rob Kaplan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever we have written a story on law school placement or new associate hiring, for the past 26 years, we&#8217;ve always called Rob Kaplan, dean of career services, at the William &#38; Mary law school to find out the scoop there. He&#8217;s always returned our calls, given us straight info and been a pleasure to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bell-ringing moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The College of Knowledge down in Williamsburg has many traditions &#8212; the Yule Log ceremony at Christmas and Charter Day in February, among others.
But for sheer joy, you can&#8217;t match the day that William &#38; Mary seniors get to ring the Wren Bell.
Here&#8217;s how it works: After completing the very last class on the last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Allways prufrede, Twitter edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter allows you to share your life, 140 characters at a time. If you haven&#8217;t joined the social media service yet, take heart that there are tweeters on there who are waay behind you.
BuzzFeed, which calls itself the purveyor of &#8220;the hottest, most social content on the web,&#8221; has compiled a wickedly funny list of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Mr. Jefferson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A tri-corner hat tip to Thomas Jefferson on his birthday today, April 13.
In honor of TJ’s 269th, here is an item about a project at his favorite school, the University of Virginia. 
(Note: That would NOT be the College of William &#38; Mary, of which he was an alumnus. He referred to Williamsburg as “Devilsburg.” [...]]]></description>

		<title>Déjà vu at CNU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[News item: Someone stole copies of the student newspaper at Christopher Newport University.
Naw, that’s old news. Happened last September. 
Wait a minute. You mean it happened again?
Last fall, a student allegedly trashed 700 copies of the paper, The Captain’s Log, because she was angry about a story that the paper published. 
The school administration’s response: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maryland, protector of passwords</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That headline may not be the catchiest of state nicknames, but it&#8217;s accurate. 
The Maryland legislature has passed a bill that makes the Free State the first jurisdiction to prohibit employers from asking for the social media user names and passwords of prospective and current employees.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the bill protects Facebook and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art imitates journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you’re a fan of the TV show “Mad Men,” as I am, you’re glad that the 17-month wait for season five is over. Last Sunday, AMC aired two hours of the show, giving Mad Men-iacs a new dose of Don Draper and his advertising colleagues on Madison Avenue in the 1960s.
The opening scene was [...]]]></description>

		<title>YouTube by reference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Alexandria lawyer Vic Glasberg filed suit last November on behalf of a man claiming he was wrongfully assaulted by a sheriff’s deputy, he did something unusual, perhaps even novel and first-impression.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a hat tip to our former colleague, Alan Cooper, who reports that he is enjoying his retirement and spends much of his time biking and hiking. Maybe he should start the Virginia Trail Lawyers Association.
