Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day. Our firm is now known more broadly than it’s ever been known in the legal community and even beyond the legal community. We have had clients and potential clients say to us sometimes, on a confidential basis, that they are particularly looking at us for matters because of how we’ve responded to what they at least personally agree with as attacks on the rule of law. — Laurie Carr Mims, managing partner of Keker Van Nest & Peters, in comments given to Law.com Pro Mid-Market, on the firm’s response following John Keker’s “60 Minutes” interview condemning the Trump administration’s actions against law firms. “We [were] willing to take on the risk. We’ve had a history of taking on the government when we see unconstitutional acts. We did so in the first Trump administration, we did so in the Biden administration,” Mims said. “We stand up against…

Kaufman Dolowich’s Christopher Nucifora, Chair of KD’s Commercial Litigation Practice Group and Co-Managing Partner of the firm’s New Jersey office, was featured in a Q & A in Am Law Litigation Daily article, where he reflected on how lessons learned from his early wrestling days have influenced his legal career. Mr. Nucifora wrestled during his youth up until his second year at Rutgers University, when he stopped to focus on his studies with intentions of getting into law school. More than two decades later, he is reflective on those years. He notes in the article, “I made the choice to concentrate on getting into law school rather than wrestling, which financially was a much better decision. But emotionally, it’s still something that sticks with me.” In fact, it’s the lessons that he picked up in wrestling that he still applies today in life as a litigator and outside counsel for clients. “I would say the hard work,…

On May 28, 2025, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed HB450 into law as Act No. 18, which will majorly shift how medical causation is proven in personal injury lawsuits filed in Louisiana. The new law enacts Louisiana Code of Evidence Article 306.1 and explicitly overrides a legal presumption that has been relied on by plaintiffs and recognized by courts for over three decades. Insurance defense counsel can now challenge causation more aggressively without needing to overcome an implied presumption. The law’s effect will have a significant effect on personal injury claims brought in Louisiana state courts: In personal injury cases governed by tort law — excluding those filed under the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Law — Plaintiffs can no longer rely on a lack of prior illness or injury to create a presumption that their current medical condition was caused by the event at issue in the lawsuit. This change raises the evidentiary burden and will likely…

Jonathan Shapiro (Columbia Law School; University of Oxford - University of Oxford, Corpus Christi College, Students; Columbia College (NY)) has posted The Purity of Precedent: Towards a Spectrum of Stare Decisis on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Rather than viewing stare decisis as a binary—as is standard in the literature—this Note proposes reconceptualizing it as encompassing a full spectrum of possible forms of the law of precedent. In viewing the range of extant views on what stare decisis requires, when it applies, and the underlying values that may or may not justify it, one sees that commentators, in viewing stare decisis as a binary, cannot help but talk past each other. Further, given that doctrines of precedent can and do undergo major shifts—as evidenced by the shifts in the use of precedent throughout English and American legal history—it seems unnatural to single out at most one point in this development as the "pure" form of…

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted [from Meta], would you capture it, or just let it slip? Faced with that opportunity, Eminem’s publishing company has opted for the “sue the hell out of Meta” route. You may have heard some of Eminem’s music (hopefully the pre-2009 cuts) on the apps you have your thumb glued to. That in itself isn’t surprising — he’s the top-selling rapper of all time, after all. But using his music without at least asking his permission first is begging for a wake-up call. US Magazine has coverage: Eminem filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms — owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — over allegations of copyright infringement. The rapper’s publishing company Eight Mile Style has accused Meta of putting Eminem’s music on its Reels Remix and Original Audio platforms without permission. A lawsuit filed on Friday, May 30, in Michigan is…

Yesterday afternoon, Rise and Resist, a nonprofit group dedicated to opposing government acts that “threaten[] democracy, equality, and our civil liberties,” took a break from its weekly “cowardly law firm crawl” to gather outside the offices of some of the firms that have fought against the Trump administration’s unlawful executive orders — and won — to celebrate their courageousness.  If you recall, RAR previously demonstrated against Biglaw firms’ cowardice. Specifically, because “real lawyers don’t give in without a fight,” RAR rallied against the nine law firms — Paul Weiss; Skadden; Willkie Farr; Milbank; Kirkland & Ellis; Latham & Watkins; Simpson Thacher; A&O Shearman; and Cadwalader — that capitulated to Trump and signed pro bono payola deals that would forever stain their legacies. Here are some photos from the…

 In January 2025, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an injunction issued by a Texas federal district court barring enforcement of a 2022 Guidance Document and related Letter on emergency abortion care issued by the Department of Health and Human Services. HHS had taken the position that under the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act, emergency rooms must sometimes perform abortions as a method of stabilizing pregnant women who have pregnancy complications. HHS also took the position that this federal requirement pre-empts Texas laws barring abortions. The 5th Circuit concluded that EMTALA requires hospitals to stabilize both the pregnant woman and her unborn child and that doctors must comply with state law in balancing those obligations. (See prior posting.) On May 29, 2025, HHS placed a statement on the 2022 Guidance Document that it was being rescinded. However, it went on to apparently limit the rescission to plaintiffs in the 5th…

By now, many businesses are familiar with The Campaign Registry (or “TCR”). The Campaign Registry was created as a collaboration between major United States mobile telecommunications carriers to address the growing issue of consumers receiving unwanted text messages.   To be clear, The Campaign Registry is not operated by a federal authority. Rather it functions entirely as a collaboration between mobile carriers, virtual phone service providers (“service providers”), and businesses sending Application-to-Person (“A2P”) SMS messages. As a result, the registration process continues to dramatically evolve, with some of the more daunting requirements implemented over the past few months. Understandably, many business owners have become frustrated with The Campaign Registry process.  History of The Campaign Registry  The Campaign Registry was created by major United States mobile carriers, including AT&T,…
