HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One of the sons of former Houston Astros pitcher Roger Clemens has been charged with DWI after police pulled him over and arrested him early Tuesday morning in southwest Houston. Kory Clemens, 30, is being charged with DWI 1st offense, a misdemeanor. Around 2:15 a.m., officers were on a separate traffic stop when they saw a black Ford F-150 speeding southbound on Hillcroft. Police caught up with the truck at the corner of Bellaire and Hillcroft. The driver, identified as Kory Clemens, then turned left while the turn lane light was still red. Officials stopped Kory, who they say showed signs of intoxication. Kory was booked into the Harris County Joint Processing Center. Authorities say Kory had a passenger with him.

I know there’s some limits in what he can do–a president like that can do, but he’s there. And I know one of the things that came up a lot was the appointment to the Supreme Court–appointment of judges, and that’s extremely important because we could get some terrible people in office who would change everything if we didn’t have people in various positions. So it’s been great, and I remember back in what I call the early days when we were talking about getting some blacks in position as judges. And people saying, they’re paying judges enough now to interest a lot of people from all races in appointments to the bench. Well, we have that and it’s been–to me, a great advance in everything that we’ve been doing. … [Read more...] about Why Leading Civil Rights Lawyer Advised Susan Rice Against Law School (Podcast with Transcript)

Polden: Uh, I would not agree with the term “large.” There was a recent GAO study, for example, in my own personal opinion it’s not deeply analytic in that sense, but they concluded that a significant factor in the increase in law school tuition has been U.S. News & World Report [rankings], and more specifically, I think, how law schools have responded to [the rankings]. Of course I think that that’s a little bit of a mixed bag, in this sense. For example, the greatest infirmity with the U.S. News and World Report is this 40 percent in this kind of shadowy, murky, reputational surveys that they send out. There’s virtually no information about who’s responding, or how many respondents, or the credentials of the people who are asked to respond in this sort of thing, and yet that’s 40 percent of the ranking. The other 60 percent are things that, I think all four of us would very quickly agree, would be pertinent to prospective students … [Read more...] about How Law Schools Can Help Next Gen Lawyers Take Gamble Out of Hefty Tuition (Podcast)

I knew from watching Law & Order that there were rules in this country designed to protect the innocent, punish wrongdoers and restore justice. I loved the show. In 60 minutes, bad people were always prosecuted and justice served. To my naive 12-year-old self, this was obviously my path: Go to law school. Become a prosecutor. Send bad guys to jail. Protect the innocent. … [Read more...] about My path to law: one immigrant’s journey
