lawyer

Katherine 'Kathy' McCartney, deputy counsel, the number two legal officer at the New York State Thruway, and chair of the E-ZPass IAG legal committee has died of cancer at just 52. We did not know her, but those who did say she was a key person in tackling legal issues within the E-ZPass Group in recent years.

A lawyer for the New Jersey Turnpike, William B Ziff managed to provoke some wild headlines today: "NJ ADDS INSULT TO INJURY: SUES TRAGIC CRASH KIN" and "NJ Turnpike officials sue crash victims".

"Disgraceful and obscene" and "the most outrageous thing I have seen in a long time" were comments from lawyers of those sued.
