This week has been particularly busy. In addition to my work with Dynasty, I was preparing vigorously for a mock trial I had last night. Widener University School of Law began their Hugh Pearce Trial competition this week and last night was my turn. Along with my partner, I had to defend a drug dealer. […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (3/12/2010)

It may officially be Spring Break, but this week has been no break for me.  Between visiting clients at Spring Training facilities and meeting with parents of potential future advisees, along with a bunch of other business related tasks, I sure have been able to keep myself busy during what has been a relaxing week […]

On my way up to Jupiter, FL on Wednesday to catch the Cardinals vs. Nationals game, I did a phone interview with Tom Reese and Paul Rubillo of hotstove.com, a fairly new website that has done a great job of capturing the attention of baseball fans across the world with the duo’s interesting articles and […]

In the past few weeks, hotstove.com has had a couple of agents on its Hot Stove TV column.  One is Joe Rosen of Orpheus Sports and the other is Jeff Frye of Franklin-Frye Sports.

James Paxton’s College Baseball Career Is Over

James Paxton‘s fight with the NCAA brings out everything I hate about organized sports.  When it becomes all about money, power, and respect, people suffer.  Those, like Paxton, who do nothing illegal, unethical, nothing out of hatred or spite, but still get punished, show the problems that may exist in organized sport.  When institutions grow […]
