Mass. Supreme Judicial Court homes are slippery: Despite ruling, walkways unclear

The Boston Herald reports:

Facing the first test of their controversial slip-and-sue snow-removal ruling, three of the state’s seven high court justices yesterday flunked the Herald’s spot inspection of the sidewalks, paths and stairs at their own homes.

“Careful you don’t slip and fall,” Supreme Judicial Court Justice Judith A. Cowin cautioned a wobbly visitor negotiating the snow-packed driveway leading to the snowy front steps of her Tudor manse.

Cowin, 68, groaned, then laughed when told the Herald snow patrol was there to rule on her blizzard busting techniques.

“We plowed, we put down salt. We’re doing the best we can,” said Cowin. “I was trying to take some time off this week.”

They sure are special!
