The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) has emerged as one of the most consequential pieces of digital regulation in recent years. While officially presented as pro-competition legislation designed to ensure fair and open digital markets, mounting evidence suggests the DMA functions as a de facto digital tax on American technology companies. This analysis draws on insights from recent DMA workshops with the companies designated as “gatekeepers” by the EU Commission (detailed analysis available here) to reveal how the staggering gap between initial regulatory cost estimates and actual compliance burdens, combined with enforcement threats that go far beyond monetary fines, creates a regulatory regime that operates as a tax on and a protectionist industrial policy against successful U.S. companies. The Reality Check: When Millions Become Billions The European Commission’s original impact assessment for the DMA projected modest compliance…

[Yes, argues the Brandeis Center in a letter to Microsoft.] UPDATE 7/8/2025: The Brandeis Center sent out a press release, stating: The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law today commended Microsoft on its decision to equalize its treatment of its Jewish employee network, "Jews at Microsoft" (JAMS), alongside other recognized and funded ethnicity-based employee networks …. Microsoft's nine top-tier employee networks, designated as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), were company-recognized, sponsored, and supported organizations of employees within Microsoft based around a particular identifying characteristic, such as ethnicity, that afforded members of that ethnic group extra opportunities for professional development, career advancement, and the ability to collectively oppose discrimination in the workplace. Microsoft hadn't recognized religion as a category of identity permitted to establish an ERG, and refused to recognize the ethnic…

Allied World Nat’l Assur. Co. v. NHC, Inc., 2025 WL 1852789, No. 22-00469 MWJS-WRP (D. Haw. Jul. 3, 2025) Nice to see good old-fashioned legal reasoning in these times. In the underlying lawsuit, class plaintiffs alleged that MNS falsely advertised coffee products labeled as “Kona” that contained little to nothing of the real thing, thus capturing a price premium. MNS ultimately settled the lawsuit for $12 million and sought indemnification from its umbrella insurers. Interpreting the relevant policy’s advertising injury coverage, the court found that an exclusion barred coverage and granted summary judgment for the insurers. The underlying lawsuit asserted Lanham Act violations. MNS and other named retailers sought the dismissal of the Lanham Act false advertising claim against them to the extent they had acted purely in their role as retailers. The court granted that motion, reasoning that a false advertising claim requires “a false statement…

Host Christopher T. Anderson and team are at the Community Table. Real answers, no script. In this episode, a job candidate is a great cultural fit but doesn’t have the skills.

There’s potential, but not the experience and skills for this position. Does the firm take a chance and invest, find another role for the candidate, or look for a more polished attorney? What to do with an employee who doesn’t fit the office culture and struggles to communicate with coworkers? Even worse, efforts to develop communication skills fall flat. Can this ever work out? Christopher’s insights will surprise you. Where do you stand on the old mantra “hire slow, fire fast?” The panel challenges…

This will mark the 6th year that members of the Iowa legal community have come together to perform public service or pro bono work to honor the legacy of the late Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady.

Understanding Your Rights and Next Steps A DWI arrest is stressful, confusing, and potentially life-changing. One of the first questions most people ask is, “Can I still drive while my case is pending?” In New Jersey, the answer is usually yes—at least for a while—but with important caveats you need to understand right away. Below is a clear, 10th-grade-level guide that breaks down what happens to your license after an arrest, how the legal process works, and why partnering with an experienced defense team such as Reisig Criminal Defense & DWI Law can make all the difference. Immediate License Status After Arrest No Automatic Suspension at the Roadside Unlike some states, New Jersey does not impose an “administrative” license suspension at the time of arrest. If the officer took your physical license, you were still issued a traffic summons that acts as proof you can drive until the court says otherwise. Court Appearance Is Key Your…

The plaintiff in this case sued the City of New York, challenging its policy against video-recording in police facilities, including stationhouse lobbies. He posts his interactions with the police on YouTube, but these videos have gotten him arrested. He claims these arrests violate the First Amendment. This case has reached the Second Circuit, which has determined the State Court of Appeals has to resolve whether New York State and City statutes allow people to make these video recordings. The State Court of Appeals will have to issue a definitive ruling.The case is Reyes v. City of New York, issued on June 18. The trial court said plaintiff was likely to win this case, entering an injunction in his favor. That ruling is now on hold while New York's highest court sorts out this issue. While an NYPD policy says people can film police activity, that right does not extend to the interior of police facilities. But state and city laws, which also allow non-arrestees to…
