		<title>Going &#8220;Stewardess&#8221;: The Case Against Steven Slater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The story of JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater has garnered quite a bit of attention in the last week. And rightly so. The guy snapped, cursed out a surly passenger, deployed the emergency slide, grabbed a cold one and slid of the plane onto the JFK airport tarmac. Come on&#8230;that&#8217;s awesome! The 80&#8242;s gave us the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrests for Minor Offenses a Drain on NOPD &#8211; and YOU</title>

		<title>The Truth About Treme, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I was just missing what everyone else was seeing, or maybe the story just wasn&#8217;t that strong, but up until this last episode (Ep 5, &#8220;Shame, Shame, Shame&#8221;) I really didn&#8217;t like Treme that much. Well call me late to the party, but I am officially a fan. Episode 5 did it for me. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Day the Music Died: Getting Arrested at Jazz Fest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I guess the title of this post is a little misleading. Not because this isn&#8217;t about getting arrested at Jazz Fest &#8211; it is &#8211; but because many people who get arrested around this time of the year don&#8217;t get arrested at the fest, they get arrested on their way to or from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Truth About Treme, Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watching Treme on HBO, like everyone here in New Orleans, I am prone to look for what is true New Orleans, and what is not. And being a criminal defense attorney (and one who was back working during the fall of 2005) I tend to be more critical of those parts of the show portraying the criminal justice system...and there are many. So I am going to throw my hat in the ring with the many Treme critics, but only insofar as my thoughts on the accuracy of the show's depiction of crime and criminal justice after the storm.]]></description>

		<title>At least someone thinks I know what I&#8217;m doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I didn&#8217;t make the 2009 list of top lawyers in New Orleans, but it looks like someone thinks I know what I am doing. I include an excerpt from the blog post I just discovered, written by Ernie Svenson, below: &#8220;I will tell you one lawyer that got left off the list (as far [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big News in Federal Sentencing Computation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent email I received from Virginia Schlueter, Chief Federal Defender in the Eastern District of Louisiana, details some big news regarding sentencing in Federal Court.
