The Year 2015 in Retrospect – Learning – Teaching – Thinking – Collaborating
I am pleased that this blog is being seen by more young lawyers and people seeking ideas on what it’s like to survive and thrive if you happen to want to be a WV small town or small firm lawyer. And, recently, a client who is going through a big life transition told me that… View Article
I Used to Detest Ralph Nader
I will try to keep this as short as one of my Facebook posts. In 1965, Ralph Nader wrote his book, “Unsafe at Any Speed”, an indictment of my family’s second car, The Chevrolet Corvair. My car mags, Road and Track and Car and Driver hated him too. Finally, Detroit was making a sporty, small,… View Article
Making the Best of Two Days On the Road, Oct. 31 – Nov. 1, 2015
I encountered the Ghostbusters crew driving on I-81 South, Near Carlisle, Pa. I posted this to FB on Monday, but promised it as a blog post. I believe it shows that we don’t have to wander through life, listening to country music, and hoping for something to kill the boredom. The digital world is a… View Article
My Last “Dear Colleague Letter”, 9-29-2015
I just mailed out my last letter to 100 or so colleagues I began writing to five years ago.

I got replies once-in-awhile, and several warm private… View Article

But, as I prepared my materials, I began to… View Article
Some Thoughts on Hunting for Trophy Animals – And Some Tips on Punctuation

A conundrum: 1. WV has a tradition of hunting. Fathers, and Mothers, teach… View Article
Perspectives on the Iranian Peace Deal and Human Conflict
I don’t have time for this. But if I don’t capture it, it will be gone. And, I am taking the rest of the day for “Important but not urgent” tasks, including my Lynda.com course on The Essentials of iCloud, something I just must master. After all, we all will be living in the cloud… View Article
WV FAMILIES DODGE A METAPHORICAL BULLET
I refer readers to my post, “WV Supreme Court Rules People May Not Agree to Leave Each Other Alone” https://hunterlawfirm.net/wv-supreme-court-rules-people-may-not-agree-to-leave-each-other-alone/ which I wrote after I learned of a memorandum opinion in the WV Supreme Court of Appeals case of Riffle v. Miller, No. 14-0042. That opinion was rescinded a short while later, without comment, “for… View Article
