Miscellaneous Monday

By John R. Byrne

Our country turns 250 years old on the Fourth of July and, to mark the occasion, Judge Bloom is hosting a National Law Day of Action on May 1 at the Wilkie D. Lawyers will symbolically re-take their oaths during the ceremony. You can RSVP here. Space is limited, so, if you're interested, you should sign up sooner rather than later. Just email Judge Bloom's chambers email, which is included in the link.

The blog proprietor would never post this Politico article himself. But if it were about any other lawyer from our district, we'd be all over it. It’s a fascinating read, with some behind-the-scenes insight into a few of the biggest cases in our district and the country.

Also, some big local news landed late afternoon on Friday. The DOJ probe into ex-CIA director James Brennan over the Trump-Russia investigation is now being helmed by Joseph diGenova. diGenova is a former Trump attorney and is replacing SDFLA prosecutor Maria Mededis. Article here

And, in non-legal news, if you've grown up in Miami, there's a good chance you've stepped onto one of those oversized scales in Publix. It's a tradition that sadly may be going away. The company that makes the scales stopped manufacturing them in 2015, and new Publixes are opening without them. Herald covers that here
