...best interests when a father requests DNA testing to determine paternity. And in a sign of the further complications genetic testing may have unleashed, the New Jersey Supreme Court is debating whether a nonbiological father can sue the biological one for $110,000 in child-support reimbursement. The plaintiff in the case didn't learn the truth about the son he had believed to be his own until...

Siegel ’07) drool like idiots at the sight of the dolled-up Plaintiff (Christine K. L. Bendorf ’10), the jury heckles the Defendant (Roy A. Kimmey ’09), and no one questions the unfairness of the trial, not even the Defendant himself, who looks like the sleazy, grown-up version of a sullen child. The company plays...
