(Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images)There’s a point where every person who is a fan of Kanye West’s music has to come to terms with recognizing that dude’s a Nazi. For some it was when Alex Jones of all people had to tell him to chill out on the “Hitler had redeemable qualities” claims. For others it was the track HH — those two Hs stand for exactly what you think they do. Playing anything that Ye has recently put out will get you side-eyed for many things, one of them likely being his Nazi sympathizing. You could play something from Graduation and earlier, but you will still get side-eyed. Which brings us to Elon Musk. There’s a point where every person that owns a Tesla has to come to terms with recognizing that Elon is very comfortable with Nazis. For some it was when he cozied up with the AfD or when he sieg-gave-his-heart-out shortly after Donald Trump’s re-election. Driving around in a Tesla after everything Musk…

by Joshua Walker, CodeX Co-Founder and Fellow If one is looking for a self-echoing diatribe against a single group or party: look elsewhere.  This article  may be a critique—but a critique of all of us.  A collective challenge—and thus the opposite of an “echo”. This is rather a technical analysis of why the contemporary governmental attempt to make America governance more efficient has failed.  (Like analyzing data from a rocket that exploded.  To improve our next launch, we must analyze empirically.  And optimized governance is many orders of magnitude more complex than rocket science.[1]) Has it?  Has it failed?  Well, DOGE’s inceptional dare was to shave two trillion dollars off of the U.S. government’s budget.  Then, as it got organized: one trillion.  Now, the claimed outcome was reducing the budget in a few months by $180 billion dollars (presumably, an annual savings)—though…

On June 1, 2025, New Jersey officially joined 13 other states participating in the wage transparency trend. Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Pay and Benefit Transparency Act (NJPBTA or the Act) this past November, requiring employers with 10 or more employees in the state to disclose compensation and benefits information on postings for new “job postings and transfer opportunities” in New Jersey. The particulars of the Act have been discussed in greater depth in a previous blog post. For applicable employers, any postings for New Jersey positions published on or after June 1, 2025, must include: the hourly wage or salary, or a range of the hourly wage or salary for the position; and a general description of benefits and other compensation programs for which the employee would be eligible.   Employers are also required to make reasonable efforts to advertise internally for promotional and transfer opportunities that are not based on years…

Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day. Rights can’t just exist in dusty law books, recited in classrooms and promptly forgotten, or in tiny font in contracts most of us don’t read and can’t understand. And rights can’t be reserved just for corporations and wealthy individuals who can pay for legal representation. Few chapters in our history have more directly called on our profession’s skills and obligations than this one. The private bar must now step up in defense of equal justice, or we will all fall. — Kathleen Rubenstein, former executive director of the Skadden Foundation, in an essay published in Bloomberg Law, where she calls upon lawyers to defend the rights of others during a time when the rule of law is under attack by the Trump administration. In the wake of Skadden’s deal with Trump, Rubenstein resigned from the Foundation “rather than endorse actions that [she] believe[s] will undermine…

(Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)Another milemarker on the George Orwell expressway blurred past America’s window this morning while the country metaphorically looked down to text-and-drive. As Marines descended upon Los Angeles to join the National Guard units already questionably legally called up, the Defense Department assured critics that they would only NOT arrest people — something they cannot legally do — but merely involuntarily detain people to hand over to local law enforcement. Which is what the rest of us call “an arrest.” The distinction lovingly crafted by the administration’s Newspeak Generator matters so much because Trump has not invoked the full force of the Insurrection Act. It may be shocking to see self-driving cars on fire — or more accurately, shocking to see self-driving cars that aren’t Teslas on fire — but a couple burning cars does not a rebellion make. When storming the Capitol to hang…

Until relatively recently, many courts, including in Texas, did favor mothers in child custody cases. Those days are gone, however, at least officially. Texas child custody law is now strictly gender-neutral. To fully understand the Texas child custody landscape you need to learn the prevailing legal standards and the factors that influence custody determinations. The legal standard in Texas custody cases Do Texas courts favor the mother or the father? The question itself is misleading. It would be more accurate to say that Texas courts favor the child. The “best interests of the child” is the primary consideration in matters of child custody. This is true in Texas as well as every other state — there is no presumption in favor of either the mother or the father. All other things being equal, Texas family courts prefer joint custody arrangements. Texas local nomenclature for custody cases Texas child custody law is broadly similar to the child custody law in…

When you’re approached or arrested by law enforcement, it’s natural to feel scared, overwhelmed, or tempted to explain your side. But one of the most powerful tools you have is silence. Under the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, you have the right to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination. This right is reinforced by your Miranda Rights, which police are required to read to you during a custodial interrogation. If you’ve heard the phrase, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law,” that’s your cue to stop talking and protect yourself. Many people unknowingly waive their rights by speaking too soon or too freely. Even innocent statements can be twisted or taken out of context. That’s why one of the smartest things you can do is to invoke your right to remain silent and request legal counsel. Simply say, “I am invoking my right to remain silent. I would like…

Birth injuries can have lasting effects on both children and their families. When a baby suffers harm during labor or delivery, the consequences may range from mild and temporary to severe and permanent. For families in Texas, understanding the common types of birth injuries is crucial—especially when negligence may be involved and legal help becomes necessary. Birth injuries happen due to various reasons. Sometimes, complications during delivery cause stress or trauma to the infant. In other cases, medical mistakes or delays in treatment contribute to harm. Regardless of the cause, the result is a condition that can affect a child’s health, development, and quality of life. Injuries to the Baby’s Head and Brain Brain injuries during birth can result from a lack of oxygen or physical trauma. One of the most serious is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This condition occurs when the brain doesn’t receive enough oxygen, often due to umbilical cord…

Welcome back to Let’s Talk About Prenups, our blog series that will familiarize you with terminology that doesn’t need to be taboo. We will answer questions both simple and complex, debunk the myths, and illustrate situations and options.  Feel free to contact us with a particular issue or to schedule a consultation. In the first blog of this series, we suggested that a prenuptial agreement be considered as a financial planning tool for a couple’s future together and as a way to have difficult and honest conversations before problems arise. In this second blog, we will address the elements needed for a prenup to be enforceable in New Jersey. As you’ll see, correct drafting and execution are critical. The Prenup’s Role in Divorce Proceedings One of the primary benefits of a well-crafted prenup is that it can simplify and streamline divorce proceedings.  This is done by addressing how financial matters will be handled in the event of…

St. Louis, MO — Greater Goods has announced a recall of several models of its digital kitchen scales due to serious safety concerns related to the ingestion of lithium coin batteries. The recalled products violate federal safety regulations under Reese’s Law, which is designed to prevent injury from button cell or coin battery ingestion. The recall was initiated after it was determined that the kitchen scales do not comply with mandatory safety requirements: Children can easily access the lithium coin battery. A spare coin battery included in the packaging is not housed in child-resistant packaging, as required by law. The product lacks the safety warnings regarding the risks of coin battery ingestion. These violations pose a significant risk. If swallowed, button cell or coin batteries can cause internal chemical burns, severe injury, or death. This recall includes the following Greater Goods Digital Kitchen Scale models: Model Numbers: 0480, 0455, 0456, 0458,…

Seventy-nine years ago, President Harry Truman signed a law that, to this day, most Americans have never heard of. Even the title of the law — the Administrative Procedure Act or APA — is a guaranteed yawner.  Yet this law is central to the rule of law and, among other things, to environmental protection.  We are learning from the current Administration’s efforts to evade the APA just how important it is. Administrative procedure is a complicated subject that takes up most of a full semester course in law school.  But at heart, it consists of three principles: Agencies cannot exceed the powers granted by Congress and must follow their own rules and congressionally mandated procedures. Agencies must give reasoned explanations when they decide factual or policy issues. People harmed by agency decisions have the right to judicial review. You might say that this is nit-picky lawyer stuff. But these principles are crucial to preventing lawless or…

How ethics reforms in Arizona led to LegalZoom’s law firm

Pacific Legal Foundation and the Catholic University Law Review seek papers for a symposium on “Searching for Constitutional Limits on Environmental & Natural Resources Law,” to be held in spring 2026 at the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C. The full call for papers is available here. We seek papers that explore the limits of Congress’s regulatory authority over environmental and natural resources policy. We would like papers that address this topic from numerous perspectives, including: Does the Commerce Clause limit the application of the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, or any other environmental statute? As an empirical matter, how many federal environmental regimes reach non-commercial and intrastate activity? Rulings in United States v. Lopez and United States v. Morrison reintroduced some constraints on the federal government’s power to regulate interstate commerce. Does the…
