A comedic tidbit...courtesy of Montana
Yes...life has been a little hectic. But I couldn't resist posting this little tidbit...sent to the entire Montana Trial Lawyers Association:
Managhan & Kortum-Managhan Law Firm will no longer be known as such. The name is returning to Managhan Law Firm as Santana Kortum-Managhan is leaving the firm. Turns out that she was having sex with Tim McKeon of Anaconda while attending MMLP hearings in Helena. Call me silly but I no longer fill comfortable with her as my law partner or wife. Some will think this is an inappropriate announcement, but considering the small legal community in our state, I might as well preempt the roomer mill. Please address communication to William L. Managhan through Managhan Law Firm.

As someone who's been coordinating a name change (for a university -- see http://namechange.umr.edu/ ), I feel for the guy who sent out that email. Yes, it is important to get ahead of the "roomer" mill, but it's also important to take a bit of time to compose one's thoughts first, and run the spell-check utility second. But he probably was dealing with some other emotions at the time.

Interesting that such a blatant violation of a legal disclaimer should appear on a law student's blog. What's the penalty for posting this "confidential and legally privileged" note to potentially millions of "unauthorized persons"?
Or maybe that's a topic for another post: "do those email and fax disclaimers really mean anything?"

Come now, you should know that just because something is labelled confidential doesn't mean that it is. His intent in writing the letter was pretty clear, and his distribution to an entire legal community and my receivig it third hand show that it is no longer private or confidential even if it may have been at one point.

Mr. Managhan is a classic mental case. He handled nothing "quite well" including his time away at the mental institution. You are pathetic if this tragic story made your century. Get a life! No wonder people dislike lawyers, John (if that is even your real name).

At the request of "John", his comment has been removed.
