N.Y. Lawyer Charged With Forging Judge's Name on Order

What started as a dispute between neighbors over a swimming pool has led to the arrest of a Long Island, N.Y., attorney. Laurence S. Jurman allegedly forged the name of Supreme Court Justice William Rebolini to a judicial order in a civil lawsuit filed as the result of the dispute. Last week, Jurman, appearing without counsel, pleaded not guilty to a single count of criminal possession of a forged document in the second degree, a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
