But, should this really be the choice at all when voters know that they are asked to decide on someone who may preside over life or death criminal cases, or a personal injury matter with millions of dollars potentially hanging in the balance? Or, should it be, as it must, like choosing a fine wine — one that takes years to become robust,...

We always encourage people to stay the course if they can or try to work things out if possible, but much like the 2010 Cubs, sometimes it's just not working.The farther you are in to a case, the harder it is to find a lawyer to take over.

Schulman screamed when he saw the white sneaker on his right foot turn red as it pooled with blood. He dragged himself toward a gas station. Someone called 911.

The truck's wheels also wrenched Schulman's left calfbone, causing a severe fracture. As he was lifted into an ambulance, Schulman mouthed the name he had seen emblazoned on the truck's cherry-red cab. He didn't want to forget it. Link ...
