Recently, the New Jersey Appellate Division ruled that during jury selection, an attorney may utilize his laptop through a wireless connection to Google the names of potential jurors. During jury selection, plaintiff’s counsel was using his laptop to Google the names of potential jurors. As jury selection progressed, the Judge asked the plaintiff’s counsel if he was utilizing his laptop to Google the names of potential jurors. Counsel advised the court that he was indeed doing so. The trial Judge ordered counsel to discontinue Googling the names of the potential jurors as the Judge felt it gave counsel an unfair advantage over defense counsel who did not have a laptop present.

Since motorcycles don’t have seatbelts or any protection for their riders, motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injury or death in a crash. For this reason, motorcyclists need the skills to make the right split-second decisions in emergency situations, such as how or when to swerve or brake. This informed judgment needs to come from training because if it first comes from experience, it might be too late.

On January first, Illinois joined the substantial minority of states who currently ban text messaging while driving. The new state law also bans checking email, updating social networking sites and general web-surfing while driving as well. The fact that the Illinois state legislature felt the need to specify a ban on surfing the web while driving signals that a new trend in legislation may be on the horizon. It is no longer sufficient for states to ban texting while driving or hand-held cell phone use. New handheld technology and in-vehicle technology which promote the use of the Internet while driving are the newest targets for advocates and lawmakers who want technology that contributes to the nation’s distracted driver problem banned from the road.

For example, a supermarket owner has a duty to make sure that the aisles are free of tripping hazards and liquids. Likewise, a homeowner has a responsibility to make sure that conditions on his property, both inside and outside the home, are not a danger to guests.
