You serious, Clark? This is better than the Jelly of the Month Club

By The West Virginia Record |
Kudos to the state Legislature for its tort reform work over the last several years. It was meant to make West Virginia courts more in line with others across the nation, and it seems to be working.

Guns are a-blazin' in this legal shootout!

By The West Virginia Record |
If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned shootout (hopefully one that doesn’t include more guns), stay tuned here. We’ll keep covering this modern-day gunfight at the W.V. Corral as best we can.

We have full access to West Virginia courts ... in 7.5 of our 55 counties

By The West Virginia Record |
We here at The West Virginia Record have one complaint that has been a major problem for us since we started our newspaper and website back in 2005. It’s online access to the court system.

All hail the newest Knight of the Golden Horseshoe!

By The West Virginia Record |
Remember a few years ago when Gov. Jim Justice promised the state a rocketship ride? We didn’t know he meant we'd be taken for a ride as we suffer from spiraling inflation and gas prices that continue to skyrocket. Prosperity, indeed.

West Virginia judges living in the Wild, Wild West

By The West Virginia Record |
It’s almost as if they think having the title of judge means they can do whatever they want, so they take the law into their own hands. They seem to think the rules don’t apply to them.

Judge Carter Williams should resign in disgrace

By The West Virginia Record |
What is it with this guy? He’s been a lawyer for 30 years, a judge for five, and he’s continually being investigated for alleged lawbreaking.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the governor’s office

By The West Virginia Record |
For being such a big man (in every way, shape, form and fashion), West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice sure is small.

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has a better understanding of inflation than the average layman and is speaking out about the dangerous inflationary potential of the Build Back Better Act.

Boycotting the boycotters!

By The West Virginia Record |
The great thing about being “woke” is that you can pretend to be virtuous without paying a price for it. It’s much harder to make actual contributions to society while being attacked by nitpicking nitwits and ideologues.

Do you know who I am? I’m a judge unfit for the bench!

By The West Virginia Record |
Hardy Circuit Judge C. Carter Williams is unfit to be a judge. He should do himself and us a favor by resigning from the bench. Then, he’ll have time to figure out who he is.

Mr. Manchin went to Washington
