Classy action: If Dr. Frankenstein were robbing graveyards to build a monster today, the townsfolk wouldn’t take up torches and pitchforks and storm his castle; they’d go to a smart lawyer in Place Ville-Marie and take out a class action lawsuit instead. Local law student Abraham Tachjian presents the latest in local action on his blog Class Action Quebec, where you can learn about who’s getting sued and if your rights are affected (like if you bought a laptop with an exploding battery), at classactionquebec.wordpress.com.
Office expenses: What if Michael Scott and his crew from NBC’s The Office existed in the real world instead of on a sitcom, and the result of their crazy hijinks was expensive lawsuits instead of high ratings?

That’s what she said at www.hrheroblogs.com
