The Pictures
The pictures on the right appear on a random, rotating basis. There is no connection between any picture that appears on the right and the post that happens to be at the left. The pictures are of people I admire, people who symbolize the legal profession at its best. If I can figure out how to put names on the pictures I will. When time permits, I will identify the people in the pictures and will try to include links to information about them. Some, like Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, Chase T. Rogers, either do not or should not need any introduction.
