It is not uncommon for employees to be injured in motor vehicle accidents while acting within the course and scope of their employment. Such incidents frequently implicate multiple layers of insurance coverage. Regardless of fault, injured employees may be eligible for benefits including workers’ compensation, Personal Injury Protection (PIP), and health insurance (including Medicare). Workers’ compensation and PIP are considered primary over Medicare, meaning they must pay first. If Medicare does make a payment, it typically expects to be reimbursed from any subsequent workers’ compensation or personal injury recovery. When an injured employee is not at fault, they may seek damages through a third-party civil action against the negligent driver and, if different, the vehicle’s owner. Recovery in these cases typically comes from the tortfeasor’s and owner’s bodily injury (BI) liability insurance or, if applicable, personal assets. In many…

One June 4, 2025, the Delivering on Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) Subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing: Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild. The title of the hearing as well as a majority of the witnesses invited to speak were a giveaway about the majority’s objective and predetermined conclusion (evidenced by the Committee’s wrap up). Such political theatre is frustrating. Our representatives are not there to learn; they are simply there to propagandize their agenda. But, because these hearing can sway public opinion, it was critically important for a credible representative of a respected nonprofit representing the interests of nonprofits throughout the country to speak and get her words on the record. Diane Yentel, President & Chief Executive Officer of the National Council of Nonprofits, was the right representative for the sector. Despite the shameful attacks she received during…

Introduction "Legitimacy." It’s a word much bandied about by students of the law. “Bush v. Gore was an illegitimate decision.” “The Supreme Court’s implied fundamental rights jurisprudence lacks legitimacy.” “The invasion of Iraq does not have a legitimate basis in international law.” We’ve all heard words like these uttered countless times, but what do they mean? Can we give an account of “legitimacy” that makes that concept meaningful and distinctive? Is “legitimacy” one idea or is it several different notions, united by family resemblance rather than an underlying conceptual structure? This entry in the Legal Theory Lexicon theory will examine the concept of legitimacy from various angles. As always, the Lexicon is aimed at law students, especially first-year law students, with an interest in legal theory. Normative and Sociological Legitimacy Let’s begin with the distinction…

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commenced a significant $4 million project in June 2025 to remove hazardous materials, including asbestos and lead, from the Allied Textile Printing (ATP) site in Paterson, New Jersey. This long-awaited cleanup is a critical step towards the full opening of the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park's new $8 million riverwalk, which has been awaiting the completion of the remediation efforts. The initial phase of the project involves securing the crumbling smokestack of the ATP plant, which has been deteriorating since a fire in 1983. EPA spokesman Stephen McBay stated that while equipment is being mobilized, the actual brick removal from the smokestack will begin shortly, though it's still uncertain if the entire structure will be dismantled for worker safety during asbestos removal. US EPAProtecting the community and workers from asbestos exposure is a top priority. The EPA has…
