Pool Injury Lawyer Missouri: Expert Legal Support for Accident Claims

The following is a guest post by Alexander Salopek, a collection development specialist in the Collection Services Division of the Law Library of Congress. He previously wrote posts on Fred Korematsu’s Drive for Justice, Fred Korematsu Winning Justice, Frances Glessner Lee and the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, Ibrahim Muteferrika, First Muslim Printer of the Ottoman Empire, and The Coroner’s Court, Westminster, London: Pic of the Week, among others. This Memorial Day weekend, I attended the Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL/ACBD) conference in Calgary, Canada. Given my background as primarily a U.S. law librarian with most of my formal collection work being done at the U.S. Supreme Court, it was a boon to be able to learn about law librarianship in a different country. I was both lucky and a little unlucky – since the Canadian legal system is in English, although there is a French version of everything too. It is a common law country…

UN humanitarian officials reported Tuesday that United Nations staff in the Gaza Strip have been collapsing from hunger and extreme exhaustion, underscoring the deepening humanitarian crisis. The increasing physical toll on aid workers has intensified global concerns over the survival of the civilian population in the war-torn enclave, where access to food, water, and medical supplies remains critically limited. Juliette Touma, Director of Communications for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), stated that medical personnel, journalists, and humanitarian workers, including UN staff, were fainting while performing their duties, emphasizing that “seeking food has become as deadly as the bombardments.” The severity of the situation in the Gaza Strip is further evidenced by new data published in a statement from the UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner (OHCHR), which documented over 1,000 Palestinian…

Developing Anti-‘Debanking’ Trend in Red States? A new front appears to have opened in the ongoing battle over environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing. In March Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) signed the Transparency in Financial Services Act ( SB 1027 ), prohibiting financial institutions with over $100 billion in assets from denying services for ideological reasons, a practice known as “debanking.” Florida and Tennessee have enacted similar measures. All three laws are based on model legislation drafted by the conservative group Alliance Defending Freedom. The model bill has been introduced in 17 states since last year.

Ronald J. Allen (Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law) & Paul Piazza (Northwestern Pritzker School of Law; Northwestern University, Pritzker School of Law) have posted The Common Law is a Complex Adaptive System on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Traditional accounts of the common law from Blackstone to Dworkin focus on the role of precedent in judicial decision-making, the metaphysical nature of law, and the heroic judge. As important as these perspectives are, they miss the essence of the common law, which is that it is a complex adaptive system with the capacity to process vast amounts of information and broadly impact individuals and society in unexpected ways. Complexity theory—the study of decentralized, yet self-organizing systems and the emergent phenomena they produce—has been applied to study real-world systems as wide-ranging as the immune system, insect colonies, the global economy, and evolving ecosystems. It helps explain how such…

[The Brennan Center for Justice has announced the virtual event, The Rise of the Imperial Presidency, to take place on August 5, from 3–4 p.m. ET.  DRE]The executive branch has amassed tremendous power, challenging the constitutional balance among branches of government. This year alone, the president has ignored the laws passed by Congress to fire leaders of independent agencies without cause, freeze the spending of appropriated funds, and deploy the military as a domestic police force.Supporters of vast presidential power have a name for this: the unitary executive. It’s the idea that the Constitution gives the president full personal control over the executive branch and wide latitude to act unilaterally. While legal scholars debate its scope, the theory in its most expansive form envisions a king-like president largely unconstrained by Congress or the courts. An embrace of this theory by the executive branch and Supreme Court could carry far-reaching…

Businessman to invetor Rick Kellow didn’t start out as a famous inventor. After two decades in the mortgage industry, he found himself inspired—by family movie night, complete with spilled sodas and popcorn everywhere. He thought, “Why isn’t there a plate that can hold both my food and my drink?” Necessity became the mother and father of invention as that very question led him and his wife, Beth, to launch Bethrick, LLC and create their first product, the GreatPlate™ The Original GreatPlate | A Great Plate for Everyday Everywhere. Fast forward ten years, their products are found in 675 Walmart stores and are poised for growth. Of course there were some bumps in the road along the way, but Rick learned fast the value of protecting intellectual property. A large nationwide retailer attempted to copy his GreatPlate, even going as far as to use his product name on their counterfeit. The lesson learned – inventors need to be creative, smart,…

Once a year the SBA publishes its scorecard which rates how well federal agencies have met their small business contracting goals. The purpose? To provide a sense of how strong the federal government’s small business contracting initiatives are performing on an annual basis. And for 2024, the overall federal contracting dollars paid to small businesses looked good. However, the agency-specific numbers were not consistently as promising for small businesses. First, a short primer for those unfamiliar with the SBA scorecard before we get into the specifics making up this record-breaking achievement. In case you have never heard of these scorecards in the past, the annual scorecard details information on the various categories of small businesses recognized by the SBA. Specifically, the scorecard is used to assess “how well federal agencies reach their small business and socio-economic prime contracting and subcontracting goals,” to “provide…

When a construction project goes wrong, whether due to faulty design, poor execution, or substandard materials, everyone involved starts asking the same question: Who is responsible? In many cases, the blame is directed toward contractors or builders. But what about the engineers who played a role in designing the project in the first place? Can they be held legally accountable for construction defects? The answer is not only yes, but under certain circumstances, they absolutely should be. Continue reading and reach out to the Florida construction lawyers at Ansbacher Law to learn when engineers may be liable for construction defects. What Responsibility Does an Engineer Have on a Construction Project? Engineers play a critical role in the development of any construction project. Their job is to ensure that the plans meet all safety codes, structural standards, and environmental considerations. In Florida, engineers are licensed professionals who must adhere to the standards…

If you’re one of the many Americans who looked north, saw free healthcare, affordable childcare, and universal poutine, and thought, “Yes, please”—you’re in good company. In 2025, more U.S. citizens, skilled workers, and entire families are making the jump to Canada, landing everywhere from the buzzing streets of Toronto to the wilds of Vancouver, the culture-soaked cafes of Montreal, and points far icier in between. But this isn’t your parents’ Canada. With sweeping changes to Canadian immigration programs, updates from IRCC, and a political vibe that feels distinctly… less exhausting than the U.S., living in Canada has never looked more appealing (or more complicated). Before you swap “y’all” for “eh,” here’s what you actually need to know to thrive up north this year. 📋 Key Updates for 2025 Canada’s permanent residency target drops to 395,000, increasing competition…

Brothers in Law is a recurring series by brothers Akhil and Vikram Amar, with special emphasis on measuring what the Supreme Court says against what the Constitution itself says. For more content from Akhil and Vikram, please see Akhil’s free weekly podcast, “Amarica’s Constitution,” Vikram’s regular columns on Justia, and Akhil’s new book, Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840-1920. Please note that the views of outside contributors do not reflect the official opinions of SCOTUSblog or its staff. In our maiden column two weeks ago, we articulated the grand constitutional principle of birth equality: All Americans born under the flag are born equal. (This is also the theme and title of Akhil’s new book, Born Equal, due out in mid-September.) This grand principle, we explained, has wide, thick, deep, and expanding roots in the Constitution’s text as originally adopted and as amended over…

As Congress prepares to leave town for the August recess, it’s an opportune moment to take stock of the congressional record and assess the willingness of its members to discharge their constitutional responsibilities in foreign policy, national security, and international economic affairs. Seven months into President Donald Trump’s second administration, the 119th Congress has revealed itself less as a coequal branch and more as an accomplice in the marginalization of its own constitutional role in foreign and national security policy. Far from reclaiming its prerogatives under Article I of the Constitution, the current Congress has displayed a pattern of retreat — reflexively deferential to executive authority, ideologically fractured, and politically paralyzed in the face of an administration intent on remaking America — and American global engagement — in its own image. The administration has every right to do so as long as it operates within…

 Pix credit hereEveryone and every "thing" is becoming smarter.  That "smartness"  is meant to suggest the broad and growing range of human individual and collective activity that is now enhanced by and soon perhaps driven, ordered, and managed through, technology. (Posting Text of "Smart Court (智慧法院 ), Smarter Party: A Necessary but Incomplete Interpenetration") These technologies can range from the mundane--the digitization of aspects of collective interaction, to the digitalization of human interactions, especially with State or private organs, through technologies approaching the self-ordering possibilities of simulated worlds applied to human life ('The Soulful Machine, the Virtual Person, and the “Human” Condition', International Journal for the Semiotics of Law).  One aspect of these transformations that deserve attention is in the context of the operation of…

Divorce is an area of the law that is often clouded with myths. These misconceptions can cause a significant amount of stress if you are considering ending your marriage. While the facts and circumstances of every case are different, it’s important not to rely on friends and family for information — a skillful divorce attorney can best advise you regarding your specific facts and circumstances.  Here are seven common divorce myths debunked:  Myth #1: You Need to Show Marital Fault to Get Divorced Missouri is a no-fault divorce state. This means that neither spouse needs to prove that the other is to blame for the marriage ending in order to obtain a divorce. A spouse seeking divorce must only demonstrate that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and cannot be repaired. However, Missouri still recognizes several fault-based grounds for divorce, including adultery, abandonment, cruel and inhumane treatment, substance abuse, and criminal…
