today i tracked down and read the lower court opinions in zwickler v koota. they are not online - i had to find a law library. i had read the two supreme court opinions in the case, but there is more detail in the lower court opinions. should have looked these up years ago. i would summarize, but i'm on a bus and it is hard to type.

a lawyer took me to lunch, and we discussed the nuts and bolts of doing a case om michigan's disclaimer statute. we decided that, while i'm not relicenced yet, i can bill this time as a paralegal, at a fraction of my usual rates.
