A Friend in Need In case you’re hearing about it for the first time in this post, there is a proposed 10-year federal safe harbor moratorium on state and local AI regulation that is currently embedded in H.R. 1 aka the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).  Big Tech has been practicing on safe harbors for decades now to the great detriment of the rest of us and this one is so broad and vague that it could literally make major AI platforms unstoppable.  And I say “major AI platforms” because there really is no other kind given the capital costs involved—even before they try to lay off much of those costs onto the taxpayer in a way that would make even the Indianapolis Colts’ ownership blush. IAPP’s Cobun Zweifel-Keegan has a good rendering of the safe harbor in an extensive blog post: The language takes some effort to parse, especially as it includes double-negative nested exceptions to exceptions, but the end result…

A nationwide recall has been issued for multiple child safety gates sold on Amazon.com due to serious safety hazards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the gates fail to comply with federal safety standards for expansion gates and expandable enclosures, posing risks of entrapment and falls. According to CPSC, the recalled gates allow a child’s torso to fit through certain openings and may fail to properly lock or resist push-out force, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death. The gates were imported by Yiwu Baili Import and Export and sold under various listings by third-party sellers on Amazon. All affected gates are made of steel and ABS plastic and were sold in black or white. They may be pressure-mounted, drill-mounted, and vary in size. Some models feature a secondary pet door.

PLANO, Texas – Toyota Motor North America has announced a safety recall affecting approximately 443,000 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickup trucks from the 2022 through 2025 model years. The recall addresses a defect in the vehicles’ reverse light assemblies that may lead to lighting failure and increased safety risks during reversing. According to Toyota, the issue involves water intrusion into the reverse light housing, which can cause the lights to malfunction. Over time, this moisture can also cause corrosion within the wiring harness. While the affected trucks are equipped with rearview cameras as required by federal law, the cameras depend on reverse lights to provide adequate visibility in low-light conditions. Without working lights, drivers may have reduced visibility behind the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of collisions or injuries.

British-Egyptian writer and human rights activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah is being unlawfully detained by the Egyptian government, according to an investigation by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. Following the 18-month investigation, the panel concluded that his arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment violated international human rights law and constituted a clear attempt to silence a prominent government critic. Abd el-Fattah, a central figure in Egypt’s 2011 revolution, has faced repeated arrests over the past decade. In his most recent case, he was sentenced to five years in 2021 for allegedly spreading false information through a Facebook post criticizing the state’s treatment of prisoners. The UN panel found that the charges stemmed from his exercise of freedom of expression and that the state failed to provide a legal basis for his detention, violating his rights under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The trial…

When many think about monopolies and unfair business practices, they typically picture large corporations squashing smaller rivals. But there’s another significant culprit restricting competition that gets far less attention: government regulations themselves.  The Trump administration has in recent weeks taken the first steps toward reining in some of these regulations. The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have both convened proceedings seeking public input on regulations that harm competition. The requests were so expansive that it would be easy to conclude the agencies were asking for a “wish list.” Toward that end, the International Center for Law & Economics (ICLE) submitted detailed recommendations revealing how extensively government rules can undermine the markets they’re meant to protect. This isn’t a new concern. Dating back to English common law and America’s founding era, anti-monopoly…

During a marriage, one or both spouses build assets. During a divorce, a court will split these assets. As you might imagine, disputes often arise over who gets what. Since Texas is one of the nine community property states, many people believe a court will split assets on a strict 50/50 basis. The truth is more complicated. Community property vs. separate property Community property belongs to the marital estate — both spouses. The general principle is that a court should split community property. Not all property, however, is community property. In almost every marriage, at least some property is separate — it belongs solely to one spouse or another. A rough generalization is that: Community property consists of assets acquired during the marriage. Separate property consists of whatever assets the respective spouses brought into the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance. Examples of separate property Below are some examples of various types of separate…

Recently, a federal district court in Texas vacated guidance from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) related to gender identity harassment. But California employers need to be aware of their continuing legal obligations around gender identity and sexual orientation. Specifically, the court ruled that parts of the EEOC’s “Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace,” which defined “sex” under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include gender identity and sexual orientation, and described unlawful harassment based on gender identity and sexual orientation, were contrary to law and must be vacated (State of Texas and The Heritage Foundation v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, et al., No. 2:24-CV-173-Z (N.D. Tex. May 15, 2025)). Title VII, the EEOC’s Enforcement Guidance and Bostock A federal law, Title VII protects employees from workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex…

How could a law student go about building peace? You could graduate and snag a Biglaw gig and funnel most of the money to direct action organizations that feed and help folks get out of poverty. You could host negotiation or mediation clinics that foster conflict resolution skills so communities can resolve issues without resorting to violence. You could even use ChatGPT! A law student made a recent contribution to peace negotiations by writing a book that will help children keep the peace. American has coverage: The children’s book idea first emerged during a Senior Research Associate (SRA) brainstorming session when Professor [Paul] Williams challenged the students to explore creative ways to engage with peacebuilding. “Half-joking but also a little serious, I suggested a children’s book,” recalled Sydney Robson. Though initially met with laughter, the idea took root as the SRAs saw it to thank Professor Williams for a transformative experience. …

The Supreme Court’s docket this term includes many of the complex issues American society is currently facing, including: immigration, free speech, religious liberty, LGBTQ rights and voting rights.

A tragic pedestrian fatality on Interstate 80 in Alameda County has once again brought attention to the dangers pedestrians face on California’s busy highways. The incident, which occurred on the evening of May 26, 2025, resulted in significant traffic disruptions and underscores the importance of understanding pedestrian rights and safety on roadways.

Several vehicles had pulled over onto the right shoulder near the accident location, and traffic was completely halted in all westbound lanes, prompting authorities to issue a…

A Fresno man in his early twenties faces multiple charges after allegedly fleeing the scene of a traffic collision and leading police on a slow-speed chase that ended with his vehicle crashing into an apartment building. The incident, which occurred Sunday morning, highlights the serious legal consequences of hit-and-run accidents and the additional charges that can result from attempting to evade law enforcement. The Initial Hit-and-Run Incident The sequence of events began when a Fresno police officer responded to a traffic collision at the intersection of Shields and Blackstone avenues. According to Lt. Skye Leibee, the officer arrived to find the aftermath of a crash but observed one of the involved vehicles driving away from the scene—a clear indication of a hit-and-run violation. The fleeing vehicle showed extensive front-end damage, suggesting it had been significantly involved in the original collision. This visible damage likely made it easier for the responding…
