In Vampire Weekend's song "Oxford Comma," the band asks, "Who [cares] about an Oxford comma?" On Monday, the First Circuit Court of Appeals answered unequivocally that it does. The Appellate Court ruled that a statute requires dairy workers receive overtime pay for work related to "distribution." The reason: the lack of an Oxford comma created an ambiguity that had to be resolved in the workers' favor. Sometimes it pays to use the serial comma.

If you have ever doubted the importance of the humble Oxford comma, let this supremely persnickety Maine labor dispute set you straight.

I was fortunate to be named once again as a Super Lawyer in the area of business litigation. It was just three years ago I started my own firm. I remain greatly appreciative of everyone's help and support.

The federal judge I clerked for just certified a RICO class action against State Farm for "secretly subvert[ing] the judicial process" when State Farm secretly bankrolled an election for an Illinois supreme court justice who later reversed a $1 billion judgment against State Farm. This case should provide great insight into how large companies affect and manipulate democratic elections.
