Pennsylvania lawyer James Sposito sued the publisher of a phone book in 1989 for defamation of character and breach of contract.
Sposito paid for an ad in the phone book promoting his specialty—personal injury cases. The ad was supposed to be illustrated with a picture of two vehicles crashing. Unfortunately, the vehicles pictured next to his name were ambulances.

Volume Enhancements
September
We'll provide this second 2007 legislative update shipment for legislation that is effective October 1, 2007, along with a few other updates:
Litigation volume - We're updating two forms in this volume due to SB1088 - This bill revises provisions governing the determination of civil indigent status in order to include the appointment of public attorneys in addition to private attorneys. We're also updating IRS form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return, and the Release-Authorization to Obtain Social Security Number.
Real Estate volume - We're updating IRS form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number, so it conforms to the new design.

In this article we tell you how to configure ProDoc to automatically back-up the data files, and other important ProDoc files, to prevent a catastrophic loss of your important data.

Tech Tip: Your Car/Your Client's Car—the Stool Pigeon
New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine's vehicle was reported to be traveling slightly over 70 MPH when it crashed. We now know that it was traveling at 91 MPH and that he was not wearing a seatbelt - the car's computer spilled the beans. The Event Data Recorder in many cars can retain data for as long as 45 days after an event.
