I think David Mamet needs to have the lenses on his reality glasses checked. He is wrong that Trump was "overwhelmingly elected". Perhaps he's also math challenged because no one who was being honest would call getting 49.8% of the popular vote an "overwhelming" victory. That's about as close to...

It's always great to have a lawyer when in court like settings when you don't know the applicable law very and are unfamiliar with the court/abitration rules that will be used. Especially if the other side has an attorney. Studies of this kind question typically reveal that when one party has a...

Mediation is simply a process of negotiation between the parties, often with the help of skilled mediator. At best the mediation reaches an agreement to settle the dispute. If one of the parties doesn't live up to to his end of the deal then the other party may sue him for a breach of contract...

First, understand that sites and apps don't have a particular location, though the servers hosting them do. If the owner of the site or app specifically make it available to citizens in a particular state that has banned that site or app from making available in the future and the owner...

Contracts with medical providers typically have provisions in them that the patient agrees to pay for any necessary costs needed for the treatment, including paying other medical specialists to provide some or all of the care. If the doctor had any experience with hiring out for services the...

That is indeed one of the reasons for that presumption in the law. In a lot of circumstances it is extremely difficult to prove that you didn't do something. There won't be any video showing you not committing the crime. The best the defendant can hope for in terms of video is a recording...

What damages have you incurred as a result of the takedown of the album? That's important because litigation costs money and if your damages are small those litigation costs might exceed the amount of the judgment you get if you win. It's also very important to closely read the Spotify terms...

True. Politicians in particular seem to be truth challenged. Trump's administration is exhibit "A" for that. That's one of the reasons a truly free press is so important. Reporters who dig to find the truth and expose it to the light of day do the country a great service.

If that term is in an actual employment contract between you and the employer the fact that the starting date is misstated typically will not void the contract. If the matter went to litigation the most likely outcome is that the court would reform the contract to reflect the intent of the...

The employee may terminate the employment at any time for any reason if the employee did not enter into an enforceable employment contract that required the employee to work for the employer for some stated period of time, e.g. six months, a year, five years, etc. When they enter into that kind...

The default employer/employee relationship in almost every state "at will". But if the employer and employee enter into a contract that limits the ability to terminate at any time the relationship is no longer at will. If the employee breaches the contract and leaves before the contract period...

Exactly right. China's manufacturing capabilities has grown substantially since the 1960s and 1970s when "Made in China" was pretty much synonymous with shoddy, cheap, and terrible products. When the factories are directly run by a U.S. or EU manufacturer those companies set the standard for...

I doubt many people, other than Trump and Trump's most ardent followers are going to believe he was calling for the killing the president. In my experience people use "86" as short hand for dropping a project/program, firing an employee, etc. That is the meaning I took away from Comey's post —...

I wouldn't wish that diagnosis on anyone. He's going to have tough days ahead in this battle. The cancer may be responsible, at least in part, for the notable lack of energy Biden had in the last year of his presidency. Thirty years ago I lived in Chester county PA, which shares a border with...

It's long been the case that at demonstrations some of the crowd crosses the line and does something either disruptive or illegal. So if Mayor Baraka refused to obey lawful orders by law enforcement he ought to face the treatment as everyone else. I can't comment on whether the arrest violated...

In other words the U.S. DOJ is doing business as usual on these cases. People's opinions will vary on whether the DOJ should be using that approach but it doesn't look like the DOJ isn't going change course in this kind of situation any time soon.

I can understand why you think that's when it should begin, but that is not how it works. With pretty much every civil action the statute of limitations (SOL) starts to run when the harm first occurs, not when it ends. When the state has a discovery rule to extend the SOL, the SOL starts to run...

I'm not seeing anything in that article that suggests that China is "begging" for a deal. Indeed the article says the U.S. made the first approach about easing trade tensions. All that China has said it that it is considering the U.S. offer. That doesn't some close to begging in any defintion of...

Habba will win points with Trump for adopting the administration's spin on events. The fact the firms made the choice to enter into the agreement doesn't mean they've done anything wrong or have anything to hide. Habba shows a poor grasp of logic in reaching that conclusion. She wasn't even...

That's not going to go anywhere. You'd need to convince French authorities that her messages to amount to whatever the equivalent of assualt is in France and that it's worthwhile for the French to pay for extradition to France. I don't see the French law enforcement being willing to pay those...
