Closing Argument: a blog on truth, justice, the law (and the politics in between)

About Us

CLOSING ARGUMENT is a blog focused on truth, justice, the law and the politics that gets in between. We will focus on Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but will also discuss important national matters as well.

The blog was created in 2009 by Matt Jerzyk, an attorney with a practice in medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, products liability and workers rights at DeLuca and Weizenbaum, Ltd. in Providence, Rhode Island.  Matt is admitted to practice in both the state and federal courts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Matt previously created the award-winning RIFuture.org political blog in 2005 before selling it in 2008.  He has appeared in the Wall St. Journal, the Phoenix, the USA Today, the Providence Business News, the Providence Journal, Newsmakers, NPR’s All Things Considered, the Democratic National Convention, NBC 10 News Conference, Daily Kos, MyDD.com and was named 1 of the most 8 notable Rhode Islanders in 2008.

Recently, Matt has been quoted in Providence Journal stories about Patrick Lynch’s campaign and Frank Caprio’s campaign for Governor of Rhode Island.  Matt also recently published an opinion piece in Providence Monthly on the 2010 gubernatorial race.

Matt’s law review article “Gentrification’s Third Way” was published in the 2009 Summer edition of the Harvard Law and Policy Review.
