About Me

I'm living in Albany and working for the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state. I'm trying to line up a future job that would begin in August 2010 (when my tenure with the Court of Appeals will be over), but it's still very early for that.

I'm licensed to practice law in New York.

You can find the thoughts I want to share with the world on my blog, jaltcoh.blogspot.com.
