The general election campaign for President is officially underway... Scranton Joe delivers a take-no-prisoners State of the Union that leaves his supporters ecstatic and Republicans sputtering. Spoiler alert: the 2024 Campaign theme is a sequel movie “This Country for Old Men” Super Tuesday was a good day for former athletes who want to be Senators: one-time NFL star Colin Allred wins the Democratic nomination to run against Ted Cruz; in California, Michigan State University alum and All-Star baseball player Steve Garvey survives the jungle primary, setting him up to lose to Congressman Adam Schiff. And it was a great day for Jason Palmer who, just like Mike Bloomberg in 2020, swept to victory in the American Samoa caucus. The Supreme Court effectively decides the 14th amendment prohibiting insurrectionists from seeking federal office is just a suggestion. More turmoil at Michigan State University: as a new president takes over in East Lansing, two trustees face the possibility of being fired and a third could be censured — the aftermath of the firing of football coach Mel Tucker. Our guest this week is University of Michigan professor, former U.S. Attorney and MSNBC contributor Barbara McQuade discussing her new book which amplifies the alarm about the role of misinformation in the 2024 campaign as well as the Supreme Court's ruling in the Trump ballot access case. McQuade served as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017. As part of President Donald Trump's 2017 dismissal of U.S. attorneys, she stepped down in March 2017. She is a professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School, the author of "Attack from Within" and a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. Before joining the U.S. Attorney's office, McQuade practiced law at the firm of Butzel Long in Detroit and served as a law clerk for Hon. Bernard A. Friedman on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. McQuade started her career as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan from 1998 until becoming U.S. Attorney in that same district. She was also a professor of law at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law from 2003 to 2009. McQuade was appointed by President Barack Obama and started her term as U.S. Attorney on January 4, 2010. Upon taking office in January 2010, During her tenure as U.S. Attorney, the office reached convictions in several high-profile cases, including the case of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on public corruption charges; the conviction and life sentence of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the would-be al-Qaeda shoe-bomber behind the 2009 Christmas Day bomb plot to destroy an airplane in flight from the Netherlands to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport; the conviction of former Michigan Supreme Court justice Diane Hathaway on bank fraud charges; and the convictions of former employees for stealing trade secrets from Detroit automakers. In 2017, McQuade became a regular contributor to MSNBC, initially commenting primarily on purported scandals related to President Donald Trump, though the range of topics she analyzes has become broader over time. Since 2021, she also co-hosts the #SistersInLaw podcast with Jill Wine-Banks, Joyce Vance and Kimberly Atkins Stohr. McQuade was born in Detroit. She received her undergraduate degree in 1987 from the University of Michigan and her J.D. in 1991 from the University of Michigan Law School.

And what they're thinking about is the fabric of the law.” -Kurtis Wilder ---------- 00:18 – Introduction 01:04 – About Kurtis Wilder 04:15 – Mediations and COVID-19 08:52 – Trial experience and the appellate judge 15:23 – Papazian v.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub When a data breach occurs, one step is often overlooked in the rush to remediate:  preserving as much of the data logs and backups as possible  That's a mistake, say Debra Geroux, Shareholder at Butzel Long and Scott Wrobel, Co-Owner, N1 Discovery, because that data illuminates what happened, how it happened, and what data was taken. In this podcast they also advise hiring cyber counsel immediately to obtain guidance through the legal and regulatory issues.  They may also be able to help you conduct the subsequent investigation under privilege.  Counsel can also help identify outside resources, deal with law enforcement, and help healthcare organizations determine if the breach is a reportable one. In addition to outside counsel, Geroux and Wrobel argue strongly for leveraging the organization's communication team.  Managing messaging is critical.  The communication targets—victims, employees, the board, public, media -- have to be identified and given the information they need.  But, be judicious.  Limit your communications to essential information to reduce the opportunity to spin the story. Most importantly, they advise, make the effort to understand what the root cause of the incident was.  Often, that's not as evident as it may seem.  Sometimes the first suspected point of breach is not the actual one. To reduce the risk of future incidents, they recommend adopting two-factor authentication.  Workforce training is also essential since so often employee errors (and vulnerability to sophisticated phishing efforts) are a factor. Hiring a third-party security company to conduct an internal and external vulnerability assessment can also be helpful.  It should identify every device and piece of software on or connected to your network, their vulnerabilities and how to remediate them. That assessment should also address any cloud-based solutions your organization is using.  While, generally speaking. those solutions are secure, if your organization leaves the default settings in place, it could leave you exposed to bad actors. Listen in to learn more about how to protect your organization, including the need to take a second look at your cyber insurance policy.
