How Appealing



Monday, May 29, 2017

15 years of “How Appealing” — reader mail: Today’s email is from an attorney who asked that I not identify him by name:

I wanted you to know that I have been a loyal reader from the beginning. I practice in a rather niche area and don’t see many appeals, but I almost always find something useful or at least interesting in the cases you cover. I also appreciate the gentle humor in your posts.

Keep on trucking, brakes unfrozen.

Thanks for that very kind email and for the frozen trucker reference it contains. I will post another reader email tomorrow. This feature will conclude with a final reader email — one of my favorites — on Wednesday, the last day of the month in which this blog celebrates its birthday.
