It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
It’s the time when I delve into the annual report of case statistics released by the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. It’s a time to look for trends. And yes, I get excited about this report every year.

My colleague Peter Murphy and I have been talking a lot about background checks lately. It’s easier than ever to run a basic Internet search on someone, but what information do you find? And are there any limts?
