Wet N' Wild South Florida Monday

I tell you, you go away for some sublime windsurfing for a few days, and all hail breaks loose.

Let's take a look at all the legal doings in the news today:

Adam Trop takes the first post-Florida Supreme Court tobacco case to trial today in Broward circuit court. Tobacco defense counsel for life Ken Reilly of SHB expected to repeat the same script he has repeated endlessly, with some success, at least 8000 more times.

Meanwhile, the Herald is way late to reporting on the Ben Kuehne hearing last week, but at least files a story on it, quoting a very graphic David O. Markus.

FOB (friend of the blog) Brian Tannebaum shepherds former Strook attorney and high-flyer Richard B. Simring to a Bar suspension. More on that story here.

The DBR names its "Top Litigation Shops." See if your friends and lovers made the cut here.

And how was your long holiday weekend?
