Justice Richard Palmer
 
Sometimes I find myself in some pretty unusual situations.  All right, make that most of the time. 
 
Take last month, for example.  In the midst of a vacation with my kids at a beach in Connecticut, we experienced an earthquake and a hurricane in a five-day span.  Something more pleasant happened in between the quake and the storm.    
One morning we left the beach and headed up to Hartford for a private visit with one of the justices on the Connecticut Supreme Court – Judge Richard Palmer.  He had agreed to give my children a private tour of the court and spend some time teaching them what goes on there.
