Legal Options After Early Hospital Discharge in Pennsylvania

President Trump threw global trade into chaos when he unilaterally declared new tariffs on American trading partners on “Liberation Day,” with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) invoked to justify the new, higher tariffs. The president’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs was called into question on May 29, when the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) voided Trump’s IEEPA tariffs. Here, Stanford Law’s Alan Sykes, an expert in trade policy and international economic relations, discusses Trump’s tariffs, the CIT ruling, and the administrations’ appeal. Stanford Law School Alan Sykes.Photography by: Christine BakerCan you explain the IEEPA and what the act authorizes? Following the declaration of a national emergency by the President, the act authorizes a wide range of measures to address the emergency.  These include the authority to “regulate” “importation,” which the…

Florida’s scenic waterways—whether it’s a slow cruise through the Boca Raton Intracoastal, a day of fishing on Lake Okeechobee, or navigating the busy Fort Lauderdale inlets—offer endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation. But when a day on the water ends in an unexpected accident, the consequences can be serious and life-altering. If you or someone close to you has been harmed due to another party’s negligence, contacting a skilled Florida boating accident lawyer early on can make a significant difference in how your case unfolds and how your rights are protected. In the days after the incident, you may find yourself dealing with more than just physical injuries. The initial shock gives way to mounting concerns regarding medical expenses, time away from work, damage to your boat, and the emotional toll of the experience. This is a critical time to protect your rights and take meaningful steps toward recovery; the decisions you make…

Professional courtesy is an incredibly important concept within the legal profession. Judicial resources are often stretched thin, so it is important for adversaries to work together on certain matters and make it easier for matters to be handled. This often includes tactics like agreeing to adjournments, emailing courtesy copies of documents, and other favors that do not impact the substance of a matter. Most lawyers want to be courteous since it is the right thing to do, and they know that they may need a courtesy later on. As a result, they are inclined to extend courtesies when they can. However, some lawyers try to pressure lawyers to waive substantive rights as an alleged matter of professional courtesy when professional courtesy is inapplicable to the matter. Earlier in my career, I filed a motion to dismiss several causes of action in a complaint that I believed should not have been pled in the first instance. The causes of action did not have factual support…

A friend in need I don’t really know Adam Thierer, but I did cross paths with him a couple times many years ago in DC.  Like so many of the tightly-wound libertarian triumphalists that are attracted to the anti-copyright crowd, my first impression of him was that he should have auditioned for The Accountant.  Surely he’d at least have gotten a table read. I probably thought that because he seemed very uneasy—which I attributed to an apprehension about getting caught when really it more likely was just that he was so much smarter than me.  But only one of us knew it. Quite naturally it seems, Mr. Thierer has recently found his way to the R Street policy laundry that is as close to Google as one is to 1.01.  Readers will recall that R Street was one of the braying hounds who went after then-Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood in a hateful display back in 2016. This was before Mr. T arrived, but was when…

A devastating DUI crash on Highway 41 in Madera County has left two people dead and serves as a stark reminder of the deadly consequences of impaired driving. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is investigating the Tuesday afternoon collision that occurred near Yosemite RV Park, south of Coarsegold. Details of the Madera County Fatal Crash The tragic incident unfolded just after 4 p.m. on Tuesday when officers received reports of a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 41. According to CHP’s preliminary investigation, the sequence of events began with a man in his 30s driving a white utility truck northbound at dangerously excessive speeds. Witnesses reported that the utility truck was traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph when it approached a curve in the roadway. The driver lost control of the vehicle, causing the truck to begin rotating on its axis as it careened out of control. The Chain Reaction That Led to Tragedy At the critical moment, a juvenile was driving a black…

Amnesty International on Thursday warned that the abrupt suspension of U.S. foreign aid has put millions of lives and human rights at risk globally by halting critical programs such as the provision of essential health care, food security and humanitarian support for people in extremely vulnerable situations globally, including women, girls, survivors of sexual violence, and other marginalized groups, as well as refugees. The organization criticized U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s testimony before Congress on May 21 and May 22 as a weak answer to the grave human rights impact of the foreign aid cuts and contrary to evidence gathered by Amnesty and other organizations. Rubio wrongfully asserted that there have been no deaths associated with these cuts, despite factual documentation of an increase in mortality associated with the cuts. The foreign aid cuts followed an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, as well as other executive…

Joe McIntyre (University of South Australia - School of Law) has posted Pareidolic Illusions of Meaning: ChatGPT, Pseudolaw and the Triumph of Form over Substance on SSRN. Here is the abstract: The early 2020's has seen the rise of two strange, and potentially quite impactful social phenomena: pseudolaw (where users rely upon pseudolegal arguments that mimic the form and ritual of legal argumentation but fundamentally distort the content of law), and generative AI/LLMs (which generate content that uses probabilistic calculations to create outputs that look like human generated text). This article argues that the juxtaposition of the two phenomena helps to reveal that they both share two fundamental traits: both elevate form and appearance over substance and content, and users of both routinely mistake the form for the substance. In drawing upon legal theory, computer science, linguistics and cognitive psychology, the article argues that both phenomena rely upon…

Jeffrey v Teevan (2025) EWCC 24 This is the County Court appeal of an order setting aside default judgment and a default costs order. There is a big ‘twist in the tale’, as the Circuit Judge puts it, and, because I do like a bit of dramatic tension, you’ll have to wait for it until later on in the post. Mr Jeffrey had brought a claim for unlawful eviction (including apparently an injunction for re-entry, although he never got re-entry) in July 2020, following the alleged unlawful eviction in June 2020. There were initially three defendants, the landlord, Mr Teevan, the managing agents, Reel Estates, and a Mr Hurst as an agent for the landlord. The second and third defendant were later dropped from the claim. Mr Teevan did not respond to the claim, and in January 2021, Mr J obtained an order for judgment with damages to be assessed. There were various other orders made, but we (and the appeal court) don’t know what they were. In December 2021, there was…

Ed. note: This is the latest installment in a series of posts on motherhood in the legal profession, in partnership with our friends at MothersEsquire. Welcome Sonya L. Sigler back to our pages. Click here if you’d like to donate to MothersEsquire. In the first four articles of this series, we explored how noticing your energy, shifting your mindset, aligning your choices, and building intentional daily practices create a strong foundation for self-care. Now, we turn to the ultimate act of self-care: owning your time. Time is your most precious, non-renewable resource. Protecting it isn’t optional—it’s essential. Without boundaries around your time, even the best self-care intentions collapse under the weight of other people’s expectations, endless client demands, or your own internal pressure to do more. Time is of the Essence Over the last few years, after losing several close friends and family members, I’ve come to…

 Pix credit here The winds of change, and the winds of reaction, appear to be blowing strongly in the U.S. These winds are being generated by the officials of the political and appointed branches of the apparatus, with strong supporting roles by the institutionalized consultation and influencing elements of the unofficial apparatus, each wrapped in the legalities of rule of law narratives that suit them in general, that can be  used as instruments with respect to their status in the apparatus (political(social/institutional) hierarchy to which they belong or serve, and which can be advanced to serve their interests as holders of particular places within those hierarchies.  None of this is new.  Most political systems find ways of dressing this up in appropriately soothing terms which permit enough of a base for stability and the ordering of "play." Norms are both the objectives and pathways; the ordering of social relations especially…

David B. Kopel, University of Wyoming, Firearms Research Center; Independence Institute; Cato Institute; Denver University Sturm College of Law, is publishing Machine Gun History and Bibliography in volume 25 of the Wyoming Law Review. Here is the abstract. This Article provides an introductory history of machine guns and books about them. First, the Article describes federal machine gun laws and regulations, and related legal resources. Then the Article presents the historical development of machine guns from 1862 to the present, covering the various types of machine guns: heavy, medium, light, general purpose, submachine gun, machine pistol, and assault rifle. The first machinegun to achieve broad commercial success was the Gatling gun, invented during the American Civil War. Although the Gatling had little effect on that war, shortly thereafter the Gatling gun and other manual machine guns started to change warfare.Later, heavy machine guns such as the automatic Maxim…
