  • Summary

  • Today's legal terms are 'Remitter' and 'Additur.' Relevant cases concerning these terms, as well as firearm regulations in Connecticut and bereavement leave policies for inmates in state prisons, have been discussed. 1. Run-away Juries: when can the trial judge override the Jury's decision on monetary damages? 2. Legal Word of the Day number 1: Remittitur.(when the Jury has been unjustifiably over-generous) 3. Legal Word of he Day number 2: Additur (when the Jury has been too stingy...). We did this for the first quarter hour, and then the phones went crazy for some reason (even though it was a great day to be doing stuff outside instead...). Listener calls: a. caller's daughter had a swimming pool injury years ago. Can she do anything about it now? b. inquiry about any class action lawsuits pending regarding the side effects of Siboxin (a drug used to assist people in overcoming addiction); c. Whether to hire a lawyer for help in the client's probate matter; d. A commercial real estate broker wanted to know if it was permissible to "steer" his clients to a particular lawyer for their commercial closings; e. a discussion re: the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim; and f. whether a person who donates a car to a charity has any liability for defects in the car which lead to an accident.
