Like many Americans, I’m deeply alarmed by the escalating attacks on consumer protection in Washington – especially the efforts to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Weakening this vital agency will lead to more fraud, more predatory lending, and greater risk of another economic crisis.I’m also deeply troubled by recent developments at the Federal Trade Commission, especially the unlawful removal of Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya – two of the most dedicated public servants I’ve worked with. Their absence diminishes the agency, and they should be reinstated without delay.But I have not lost hope that over the coming years, the FTC can take meaningful steps to make markets more fair. On May 1, the agency brought an important suit against IM Mastery Academy – an MLM accused of making outrageous income claims to potential recruits. Today I want to urge the FTC to build on this momentum and take additional steps to protect…

[Like King Charles, he is abusing emergency powers to impose taxes without legislative authorization.] King Charles I (NA)  Yesterday, there were massive nationwide "No Kings" protests against Donald Trump and his authoritarian tendencies. Like most political slogans, "No Kings" is an oversimplification. But it is in fact true that Trump is repeating many of the abuses of the British monarchs, which precipitated the English Civil War, and eventually the American Revolution. The most obvious parallel is his use of detention, deportation, and imprisonment without due process, including targeting many legal immigrants who were never convicted of any crime. Similar practices by the British were among the major grievances that led to the American Revolution. They were also among the abuses of the Stuart monarchs of the 17th century that eventually led the British to curb royal authority. A less widely recognized parallel between the Stuarts and Trump is…

When someone dies due to another person's negligence or wrongful conduct, families often don't realize that New York law provides two separate legal pathways for seeking justice and compensation. While both wrongful death actions and survival actions arise from the same tragic circumstances, they serve fundamentally different purposes, benefit different parties, and address different types of harm. Understanding these distinctions is essential for families seeking a comprehensive legal remedy after losing a loved one. Have You Lost A Loved One Because Of Someone's Negligence?

When families lose a loved one due to someone else's negligence, one of the most difficult questions is understanding what compensation may be available and how it's calculated. While no amount of money can truly compensate for such a loss, wrongful death compensation is intended to provide financial stability for survivors and acknowledge the economic impact of their loss.

When a loved one dies due to someone else's actions, families often wonder about their legal options and the distinction between criminal charges and civil lawsuits. While both address the same tragic event, wrongful death civil cases and criminal homicide prosecutions serve different purposes and follow separate legal processes.

Various brief notes on assorted cases, including RROs, trespass and unlawful eviction for a licensee, and nuisance by football. Oh and use of make-up artists by a party… Pearton v Betterton Duplex Ltd (HOUSING – RENT REPAYMENT ORDER – rent paid before the start of the period when the offence was being committed) (2025) UKUT 175 (LC) The Upper Tribunal confirms that there is no jurisdiction to make a rent repayment order for a licensing offence where the only rent paid was rent in advance, prior to the start of the tenancy.  An RRO can only be made in relation to rent paid during the period the landlord is committing the offence, which is this licensing case started with the start of the tenancy. This is a position crying out for a swift (and simple) legislative change.

From New York trial court judge Mary Rosado's opinion Thursday in Council of City of N.Y. v. Adams (see also N.Y. Times [Luis Ferré-Sadurní], Judge Blocks ICE Plan to Open Rikers Office Indefinitely): This case, at its essence, seeks to maintain the rule of law. Plaintiff-Petitioner seeks to nullify an Executive Order issued allegedly because Mayor Adams negotiated away sanctuary city protections for a dismissal of his ongoing criminal prosecution. On January 31, 2025, Mayor Adams met with President Donald J. Trump's Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove ("Mr. Bove"), to discuss Mayor Adams' ongoing criminal prosecution's impact on his ability to "work[] with the federal government on important issues of immigration enforcement" Danielle R.

Per the suit, Purnell was reportedly at his house with two females who also lived there when the two women began fighting. Purnell had nothing to do with the argument, but he did reportedly attempt to break up the fight at one point. One of the women may have called the police or asked a relative to contact the police, according to the complaint. Once the police arrived, they attempted to arrest Purnell. The suspect refused to leave the house, so authorities had little choice but to call for backup. What was originally a simple fight quickly became a five-and-a-half-hour standoff with police. According to the complaint, the authorities called out SWAT teams, fire department staffers, K-9 units, and a crisis negotiation team to de-escalate the situation. The suspect was allegedly on the phone with his attorney, who advised him to surrender by stepping outside and waving a white cloth. When Purnell attempted to make this move, the authorities’ K-9 units responded under the…

When accidents happen, it's common for both parties to share some degree of fault. A driver may be speeding while another runs a red light.

The law is full of buzzwords that further qualify other legal concepts. One of the most common terms found throughout law in general and family law in particular is “due diligence.” Due diligence is “[t]he diligence reasonably expected from, and ordinarily exercised by, a person who seeks to satisfy a legal requirement or to discharge an obligation” Black’s Law Dictionary (11th ed. 2019) The requirement of due diligence is effectively the court system telling litigants to “keep it moving or you’ll lose your rights” which exists in addition to statutes of limitations and other deadlines. Failure to act with due diligence means justice is delayed to the point of denial: evidence goes missing, witnesses forget (or worse, die). So, while the divorce litigation process feels like a series of delays and continuances, the courts can say “Sorry, it’s been too long. Hurry up and get to it or I’ll cancel your…

The Attack of June 13 On the night between June 12 and June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale attack against  numerous sites and persons in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including nuclear reactor sites, nuclear scientists, who – according to Israel – were involved in advancing the Iranian nuclear project, senior commanders of the Iranian military and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and a number of military facilities used for storing, transporting and manufacturing surface-to-surface missiles, missile launchers, radar stations and military airfields. According to media reports, some 200 Israeli aircrafts carried out the first wave of attacks, along with unmanned aerial vehicles dispatched from secret bases inside Iran. In its initial statement on the operation – dubbed by the IDF as “Rising Lion” – the IDF described the operation as “a preemptive, precise, combined offensive to strike Iran’s…

  An estate plan isn’t something you create once and forget about. It’s meant to reflect your life as it is today, not who you were a decade ago. People come and go, financial situations shift, and your own wishes may evolve over time. If you’re wondering whether your current estate plan still fits, chances are it’s worth taking a fresh look. When Changes Occur in the Family Big life events involving loved ones are some of the most common reasons to revisit your plan. Marriage, for example, often prompts updates to include your spouse in property, healthcare, or guardianship decisions. Divorce has the opposite effect—it’s a moment when you might want to remove someone from your plan entirely or reassign key roles like executor or power of attorney. Bringing a child into your family is another milestone that calls for adjustments. Whether through birth or adoption, it’s important to name a legal guardian and think through how your…

If you are a general contractor (or the contractor responsible for hiring subcontractors), please make sure to procure a worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance policy.  Also, don’t think you are “fully covered” if you have worker’s compensation through a professional employer’s organization, otherwise known as a PEO. If you go with a PEO, or are statutorily exempt from worker’s compensation, then you need to make sure ALL of the subcontractors you hire have worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance. No exception. Ever. The risk is much greater than any reward. In construction under Florida law, the general contractor is deemed the “statutory employer” for purposes of worker’s compensation.  This means that if a subcontractor does not have worker’s compensation, then the general contractor’s worker’s compensation policy is required to cover…

For the Balkinization symposium in honor of Ken Kersch James E. Fleming and Linda C.

We appreciate the opportunity, through this Balkinization symposium on his work, to try to honor his legacy by offering some thoughts on his erudite and sobering work concerning conservative political and constitutional thought in the U.S.A recent “Best Sellers” list in the New York Times Book Review describes Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny as follows: “Twenty lessons from the 20th century about the course of tyranny.” Kersch’s Conservatives and the Constitution: Imagining Constitutional Restoration in the Heyday of American Liberalism (2019) provides at least twenty lessons from the second half of the 20th century about the development of conservative constitutional thought and activism. These lessons are relevant for…
