Sometimes life just gets in the way-- Judges in New York should be so Compassionate.
Should a lawyer be granted a continuance of a trial because his wife is expecting a baby?

The Court, much to its credit, granted the adjournment with a dose of reality, morality and compassion rarely seen. Read the decision here. Read the decision here.
Bottom line-- we are all part of the human condition, even if we are litigators.
