What happens when a loved one is admitted to a nursing home, and a family member signs pages of admission paperwork—including a binding arbitration agreement—without the resident’s explicit consent? Can that agreement be enforced later to block a lawsuit for wrongful death or elder abuse? An unpublished July 2025 decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals answers with a clear “no.” In Giacone v. Youngtown Health Inc., the court affirmed the trial court’s decision rejecting a nursing home’s motion to compel arbitration, reinforcing that implied authority isn’t enough—especially when the signer lacks the legal right to waive fundamental protections on someone else’s behalf. The ruling underscores the importance of precise legal authority in healthcare admissions and sets important guardrails for families, facilities, and attorneys alike. Background After suffering a stroke and respiratory failure, Cheryle Weir…

18 Year Old Truck Drivers on the Roads in Illinois and Indiana The human brain is amazing in its ability to collect stimuli and data; process the information; and determine appropriate responses (reactions or inactions). However, researchers confirm that the brain’s development continues throughout childhood. For teenagers, their frontal lobe may not be as readily advanced as older drivers on our roadways. This is concerning, since the frontal lobe controls decision-making and advanced behavior (think of all the things that go into driving a car, much less a huge and heavy semi-truck). As the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital in Pennsylvania explains, the frontal lobe is responsible for three things “crucial to safe driving,” and that all too often teenagers are not sufficiently advanced in these functions to avoid “negative driving outcomes.”  Also read: Walshe EA, Ward McIntosh C, Romer D,…

Lubbock police are continuing to investigate a fatal collision between a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle that occurred early Saturday morning in west Lubbock. The crash happened around 3:30 a.m. at the intersection of 82nd Street and Upland Avenue. When officers arrived, they found 24-year-old Michael Glover, the motorcyclist, deceased at the scene. The driver of the passenger vehicle, 59-year-old Robert Mitchell, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Covenant Medical Center. Because it’s not yet clear who had the right of way, it’s important that investigators gather and review all available evidence to determine how this crash occurred and whether any traffic laws were violated. What Questions Should Be Answered About the Intersection? When two vehicles collide at an intersection, the primary question is which driver had the legal right to proceed. Investigators will likely examine whether either party failed to stop at a red light or stop sign,…

By Hannah Gadway Art law is intriguing for those already invested in the realm of law, but can also be an educational tool that can help general museum visitors understand how museums function and the significance of certain pieces in art history. In this article, I will walk through how I specifically used my “Art and Law” Student Guide tour at the Harvard Art Museums to teach about how the law is used to protect art, artists, and art collectors. Please note that I was part of the Student Guide program at the Harvard Art Museums, which is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the individual perspectives of Harvard College students.[1] This overview of my tour is meant to reflect my individual interests, not a prescribed set of highlights. The law has a significant impact on the art world, as it interacts with issues such as taxation, theft, contracts, insurance, and more. The following is a look at three pieces at the Harvard Art Museums to explore art law,…

When an insurance company fails to uphold its end of the bargain, policyholders may have the right to file a bad faith claim. In Nevada, insurance bad faith occurs when an insurer unreasonably delays, denies, or underpays a legitimate claim without proper justification.   Bad faith cases don’t just hinge on whether the insurer was wrong, they depend on showing that the company acted without a reasonable basis. Proving this requires specific evidence demonstrating the insurer’s conduct crossed the line. The burden of proof falls on you (the claimant), and gathering solid documentation can make or break your case.   Understanding the kinds of evidence Nevada courts look for is the first step in holding an insurer accountable.  Bad Faith and Nevada Law  Nevada recognizes both first-party and third-party bad faith claims.   First-party claims are situations where an insurer has failed to deal fairly with its own policyholder, such…

Getty ImagesLet’s face it, most lawyers hate the word “sales.” But if you’re growing a law practice, you are selling, whether you realize it or not. In this episode of “Be That Lawyer,” I had a great conversation with Dan Lear, who heads up partnerships at InfoTrack, about how lawyers can embrace business development without feeling inauthentic or pushy. Here are a few key takeaways: There’s no room for manipulation when everyone has the same data Dan shared a story about negotiating for a car and doing the classic walkout move. Five days later, the dealer came back with a discount. Why? Because they knew exactly what that car was worth, and so did he. The same goes for legal services. Clients today can compare you with dozens of other lawyers. The modern buyer is informed, and your role is to be clear, trustworthy, and helpful, not salesy. Relationships beat résumés Dan shared how,…

Elias Neibart has posted The Rise of the All-Writs-Act-Putative-Class-Injunction? on SSRN. Here is the abstract: In Trump v. CASA, Inc., the Supreme Court killed off the universal injunction. In a standard universal-injunction case, a single plaintiff could sue the government for injunctive relief. If they won, the government couldn’t enforce the law against anyone. If that plaintiff lost, another plaintiff—who wasn’t a party to the first case—could just sue the government again over the same conduct. Such injunctions, then, gave relief to non-parties. To the Court, that offended traditional equitable practice. The Court emphasized, however, that Rule 23 injunctions were available to give relief to large groups of plaintiffs. These injunctions are kosher because class certification ostensibly brings the entire class before the court—even if they aren’t really there. This makes all class members parties to the case who are bound by the…

  Divorce is never easy, and the emotional toll can make it difficult to think clearly about the financial and legal implications of your decisions. When you’re going through one of the most challenging times in your life, the last thing you want is to discover that critical mistakes in property division have cost you thousands of dollars – or worse, your financial security. A recent Texas Court of Appeals case, Matter of Marriage of Liardon (2025), provides a stark reminder of why having an experienced Dallas divorce attorney is essential when substantial assets are at stake. This case demonstrates how failing to properly document and trace separate property can result in losing assets you believed were rightfully yours. If you’re facing divorce in Dallas, Irving, Garland, Richardson, Mesquite, DeSoto, Grand Prairie, or surrounding areas, understanding these property division principles could save you significant financial hardship down the road.
