I am on the verge of making a deal with either Lexis or Westlaw.   This means that I will soon unleash my wicked legal research skills upon the world.  Readers of this blog will soon see substantive articles by me (or other attorneys/legal pros for that matter, guest contributions are most welcome!) on legal developments I find interesting enough to write about.

Here are some of the topics you will see frequently here:

-Controlled substances and drug policy reform, especially the tension between state legalization movements and federal crackdowns, and the impact of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on laws criminalizing peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, and other hallucinogens.

-Practice tips and legal developments related to modification of home loans under the recently passed borrower relief legislation, and the possible use of Chapter 13 proceedings to reduce a debtor’s principal owed on a home mortgage in California.

-Policy discussions on what to do about “criminal street gangs.”

-Discussions of ongoing impact litigation related to human rights abuses by multinational corporations.

But for now I am craving some lengua tacos and horchata from the 24/7 taco stand on Broadway across from the Eastern.  If you’ve never had a pile of steaming hot cow tongue wrapped in a fresh corn tortilla from Tacos Mexico, you are missing out on one of life’s great pleasures.
