Divorcing is stressful, and dividing property can add to the confusion. Understanding how assets are split can help ease this challenge. How assets are categorized and divided plays a crucial role in ensuring a fair distribution for both parties involved. Having a clear understanding of the key factors can make a big difference in achieving a fair outcome. In Texas, the importance of this process is highlighted by its classification of property ownership during marriage. Understanding these classifications can prevent missteps and help smooth the journey.

155. Universal Injunctions and the Role of the Judiciary, by Allen C. Sumrall

  • 4 days ago schedule
  • yalejreg.com language

In a startling but unsurprising decision, the Supreme Court last Friday dramatically shrank the ability of federal judges to issue universal injunctions. In Trump v. CASA, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the six Republican appointees, concludes that universal injunctions “likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts.” For that reason, the universal injunctions that three separate district judges had entered against the Trump Administration’s Executive Order attempting to abolish birthright citizenship are no longer in force. For many, including the Justices, the case is about the proper role of the judiciary. Should judges be entering universal injunctions against policies that the Executive Branch is trying to enforce, even if those policies are unlawful? Should nonparties be able to benefit from an injunction awarded by a district judge? Or, perhaps more pointedly, should each of the hundreds of district judges…

By Ronald Richenburg “Born on the Fourth of July” is the catchy title of a celebrated film, based on a book, which references a humorous patriotic American song with roots going back to the 18th century. Although in the film and the book the words are used in an ironic way, the tone is very different in the song where the singer describes himself as “a real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the Fourth of July”.* The 4th of July has long been celebrated as the birthday of the United States, but the key events of 1776 occurred over a period of several weeks, and it has sometimes been suggested that the 2nd of July was of equal or even greater importance. Beginning in 1754, representatives from the various colonies met in a number of congresses. initially to discuss matters of common interest, and later to co-ordinate their responses to certain British policies that were causing increasing discontent. The last and most important of these…

Running from the police might seem like a justifiable, split-second decision made out of panic or fear. However, in Ohio, it can result in serious criminal charges. Whether on foot or behind the wheel, attempting to avoid law enforcement is a crime under state law. The consequences can include jail or prison time, fines, and even long-term damage to your record. If you’re facing charges related to fleeing the police, it’s important to understand how Ohio law treats this type of offense and what it could mean for your future.

You can be charged if you fail to stop when a police officer signals you to pull over.

Etong Armand Brice (Loyola University New Orleans) has posted Equity's Evolution Interrupted: The Supreme Court's Redefinition of Judicial Remedies in Trump v. Casa, Inc on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Historically, equity has been a venerable and adaptable branch of law, serving as a vital tool for delivering justice where the strict application of common law fell short. Its core strength, as recognized by legal scholars and judges alike, lies in its capacity to evolve its dynamic nature enables it to respond to new challenges and craft remedies that previous legal frameworks did not anticipate (Adams, 1916). This inherent flexibility has allowed equity to develop over time, adjusting to societal shifts and the increasing complexities of modern governance. Nonetheless, this perceived progression has recently been challenged by a significant judicial intervention most notably through the rise of "universal injunctions," which are broad judicial orders…

165. Tips for Dealing with Insurance Companies in Ontario

It’s not everyday you have to deal with an insurance company. It’s not an interaction which people are accustomed to. Think about it. You don’t need legal advice to buy a pair of shoes. You don’t need legal advice when negotiating a price for a new/used car. You don’t need legal advice for a parent/teacher conference at school. You don’t need legal advice opening a bank account, or negotiating the terms of your mortgage. What’s set out above are adult interactions which we are used to in everyday life. But, when it comes to personal injury, car insurance and disability claims, we do need legal advice. We need legal advice because these interactions don’t happen everyday for consumers.  We need legal advice because there are complicated laws around getting compensation. We need legal advice because more often than not, these claims are disputed and often end up being litigated in Court. Given that our personal injury lawyers…

Those fireworks mean that we're already into July and the summer submission cycle is less than a month away!For those writing legal scholarship, it's time to start polishing, revising, or (if you thrive under pressure) writing. Law journals open for their summer submission cycle around the beginning of August (though some upstarts like the Yale Law Journal open earlier). Before long, the game of submissions, expedites, and email refreshing will begin.This post addresses the law review submission process--focusing on strategies, tips, and related debates over the best approach to securing a good placement. Unlike some of my earlier discussions of the law review submission process, I'll steer clear of whether it's good or bad (though I do think it can be less terrible with a bit of effort). Instead, this is written with the status quo in mind, and how authors can best play the game under the existing rules. All of this is based on…

167. NYC files amicus brief supporting student arrested following mandatory immigration hearing

New York City (NYC) filed an amicus brief in a federal habeas corpus proceeding on Tuesday, supporting a former high school student who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after attending his mandatory immigration hearing in lower Manhattan. The city filed the brief in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York in support of Jose Luis, arguing that his June 2 arrest—despite his clean record and pending Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) application—reflects a broader pattern of ICE detaining immigrants who voluntarily attend legal proceedings. SIJ status is a US immigration benefit that provides a pathway to lawful permanent residency for foreign-born minors who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both of their parents, and who are under the jurisdiction of a juvenile court. The brief emphasized that immigrants comprise almost 40 percent of NYC’s population—over 3 million people—and are essential…

A seasoned real estate attorney in Fort Lauderdale can help you avoid costly mistakes, delays, and disputes. Here are seven legal issues buyers must understand before signing a contract. 1.

The Declaration is best known for its ringing affirmation of the rights to  "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But it also contains a long list of grievances against King George III, by which the signers justified their decision to break from Britain. Sadly, many of these are relevant to Donald Trump's abuses of power today: "He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands." As I describe here, this wasn't just a matter of protecting the American colonies'…

172. A Federal Judge Ruling Leaves Nursing Home Staffing Mandate Hanging on by a Thread

  • dlplaw.com language

Last week, a federal judge struck down the costly and controversial provisions of the nursing home staffing mandate. Leaving it hanging by a thread, this is another significant blow to the staffing mandate affecting nursing homes, putting patient care at risk. The ruling that a registered nurse must be on duty for every hour of the day was eradicated by an Iowa US District Court. A similar case happened in Texas a few months ago, and this is becoming a more common ruling across the US. An ATI Advisor analyst shared their thoughts on the matter with McKnight’s LTC News. The managing director shared, “That’s not to say that [the Department of Health and Human Services] will necessarily discontinue its legal defense of the mandate. But it’s hard to see how the staffing mandate survives given these legal setbacks.” These constant changes in staffing mandates across nursing homes can lead to issues in the care provided to the residents. With the…
