People in New Jersey may be interested in following a case that is winding its way through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

New Jersey defamation claim against lawyer allowed by judge
Email and alcohol may be a bad combination, as seen in the case of a New Jersey lawyer who is now facing a defamation claim.

A dollar value has not yet been set in the suit.
