    Today we talk about a case questioning whether juries with fewer than 12 people are unconstitutional, an issue the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to consider that could affect states like Connecticut. We also look at a probate case involving an heir, a step granddaughter, and a .44 caliber Henry rifle, along with a medical malpractice claim brought in small claims court. Other cases include a slip and fall on an icy sidewalk outside a bodega, where the plaintiff’s own deposition testimony may have hurt his case.

We also ask when a court action is not a lawsuit and why that matters, focusing on something called an “equitable bill of discovery.” How do judges use credibility in the outcome of a dispute? Finally, we look at the anatomy of a will contest. What happens if you believe a relative left you assets in their will, but instead they were left to someone else entirely.
