By Keith W. Schneider Every attorney knows the saying — in The Columbus Bar Association strives to follow and America, everyone is entitled to his or her day understand these trends. After all, understanding the changes to the legal system is the fi rst step in continuing to help people in court. But how literal must we take “day in in need. As prominently displayed on the Jefferson Memorial court” to mean? in Washington, D.C., Thomas Jefferson once said: The Ohio Supreme Court recently issued its 2013 Statistical “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Report with a conclusion that, frankly, is not surprising: cases constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand in Ohio just are not going to trial. Of course cases are going with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more to trial, just not at the rates some of us may recall. According developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, to the 2013 Statistical Report, only 2% of criminal cases new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, and 1.2% of civil matters go to trial. This is nearly half of with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance what it was just ten years ago. (In 2004, the rate of cases also to keep pace with the times.” going to trial was nearly 4% for criminal cases and just more than 2% civil.) This is not new; however, the decline of cases Trends follow human progress, and the legal system is no going to trial has been at least a 5-year trend. different. To help, to educate, and to expand, we must look So what is the cause of this trend, and what does it mean forward and not waver in nostalgia of the days of trials gone by. for lawyers? More cases are settling out of court, in some Going back to the opening question, then, do Americans respects, means that clients are enjoying a more economical still get their day in court? The and more effective result. Hopefully, this translates to a important thing is that clients feel better client experience. as though they are heard and that The rise of alternative dispute resolution also contributes justice is served. Admittedly, some to this trend. Last year, the Board of Governors adopted would argue that the absence of the report issued by our Task Force on ADR, identifying a jury or bench trial is in itself, an seven recommendations the CBA can undertake to help injustice. Fewer trials, however, advance the use of ADR. The recommendations range from does not necessarily equate to lesser increasing awareness and education about the benefi ts of justice; rather, that our profession has ADR, to providing more public access to information about progressed in a manner that delivers ADR. The Task Force, through the ADR Committee of the a more effi cient delivery of justice. Columbus Bar, has been hard at work delivering on these Keith W. Schneider recommendations. Maguire & Schneider Finally, trials take time, and this time is dictated by the kwschneider@ms-lawfi rm.com court, not the client. Out-of-court settlement, on the other hand, allows the attorneys and the clients to work together to set a different timeframe more conducive to the client’s needs. Of course not all cases settle out of court; indeed, some cases simply cannot settle just by the nature of the case. By getting cases off of the docket in a timely fashion due to settling out of court, courts in Ohio are more able to clear dockets and move cases along in a timelier fashion. This trend supports another trend identifi ed in the Ohio Supreme Court’s 2013 Statistical Report: comparing all cases of all types, the time from the fi ling of an action to fi nal disposition, on average, is becoming a more effi cient process (2009 revealed a 131-day mean while 2013 featured a 124- day mean). These statistics are not without their downfalls and controversies, of course, but thanks to reports such as these, Ohio’s courts are able to allocate resources appropriately and effectively, which in turn creates a more effi cient legal system overall. 4 Winter 2015 Columbus Bar Lawyers Quarterly CBA’s Health Insurance Exchange - Are You Prepared for Open Enrollment?

  • Thunder: L'última Gran Banda De Hard Rock Británic
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 30/03/2016 a les 16:52 Thunder: L'última gran banda de Hard Rock Británic. Luke Morley i Danny Bowes es van conèixer al Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School al 1975. A l'edat de 14 anys Danny va entrar a la banda que Luke havia format amb altres nois, al no poder tocar un instrument va decidir cantar, el grup li va fer una audició i va ser considerat apte per ocupar aquest lloc. El noi al que substituïa va ser relegat al baix, convertint-se amb els anys en el manager de Thunder. La banda s'anomenava Nuthin' Fancy, en els anys següents van tocar a pubs del voltant de l'àrea de Londres i van editar un single independent, Looking For A Good Time. Quan Harry James s'hi va unir, després de marxar l'anterior bateria, la banda va passar a anomenar-se Terraplane. Ja com Terraplane van fer moltes actuacions, incloent el famós Marquee Club i una aparició al Festival de Reading de 1982. Van signar per Epic Records i van editar dos àlbums, però es van sentir molt frustrats per l'orientació pop en què la companyia els estava venent. Després d'un viatge als Estats Units es van adonar que hi havia una escena de rock vibrant, van tenir clar que hi havia un lloc per al tipus de música que volien fer i van tornar a Anglaterra per formar Thunder, amb clares connotacions i regust pels clàssics del rock britànic com Free i Bad Company.

  • Sun Lore of All Ages William Tyler Olcott
    SUN LORE OF ALL AGES by WILLIAM TYLER OLCOTT New York and London: G. P. Putnam's Sons [1914] p. v Introduction IN the compilation of the volume Star Lore of All Ages, a wealth of interesting material pertaining to the mythology and folk-lore of the sun and moon was discovered, which seemed worth collating in a separate volume. Further research in the field of the solar myth revealed sufficient matter to warrant the publication of a volume devoted solely to the legends, traditions, and superstitions that all ages and nations have woven about the sun, especially in view of the fact that, to the author's knowledge, no such publication has yet appeared. The literature of the subject is teeming with interest, linked as it is with the life-story of mankind from the cradle of the race to the present day, for the solar myth lies at the very foundation of all mythology, and as such must forever claim preeminence. Naturally, there clusters about the sun a rich mine of folk-lore. The prominence of the orb of day, its importance in the maintenance and the development of life, the mystery that has ever p. vi enveloped it, its great influence in the well-being of mankind, have secured for the sun a history of interest equalled by none, to which every age and every race have contributed their pages. In the light of modern science, this mass of myth and legend may seem childish and of trifling value, but each age spells its own advance, and the all-important present soon fades into the shadowy and forgotten past.

As I write, Domino’s 78th birthday has just passed, 2006 is the 50th anniversary of my first I was abysmally ignorant then – I didn’t know what purchase of a Domino disc (“Blueberry Hill” on a R & B was, or the Blues, or Jazz.

  • Under the Volcano
    Under the Volcano Malcolm Lowry with an introduction by Stephen Spender 3/692 and an afterword by William T. Vollmann To Margerie, my wife Contents Introduction by Stephen Spender Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Afterword by William T. Vollmann A Biography of Malcolm Lowry Introduction by Stephen Spender IN 1936 MALCOLM LOWRY wrote a short story called “Under the Volcano.” It is the account of the excursion to the Fiesta at Chapultepec of a man called only the Consul, accompan- ied by his daughter, Yvonne, and her fiancé, Hugh. The outing is brutally interrupted by a scene of murder. The body of an Indian—his hat pulled over his eyes to conceal a wound, from which blood flows over his face—is discovered lying under a hedge on the roadside.
