Allison Jordan joined Wine Institute and the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA) in 2003, shortly after the publication of the California Code of Sustainable Winegrowing. Since 2007, she has served as the Executive Director of the Alliance and Vice President, Environmental Affairs for Wine Institute. Previously, she was a Senior Associate at SureHarvest and Vice President and Executive Director of Resource Renewal Institute. Jordan holds a master of Public Policy from the Goldman School at UC Berkeley and a Psychology bachelor's degree from Allegheny College, a Certificate in Wine Business Management from Sonoma State University and WSET Level 2 from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. Allison Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Keys to successful adoption of California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance's certification program Interest from buyers in third party verification CSWA's Green Medal Award program How wineries are engaging with suppliers to pursue certification Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Allison's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their career? To take time to think creatively about partnerships. One of the ways that we've made big advances is by just getting really creative and reaching out to people that we know are working in the space, whether it's in winegrowing or something tangential that maybe could be really beneficial to our industry. We've been able to make incredible progress, get experts involved, get new resources that can really help match our industry support for our efforts. Really thinking about how we can support each other in this very complex, comprehensive area of sustainability. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? That there's so much awareness now about climate change, that it's bringing new energy, new ideas, technology. I don't think technology is the full solution, but there's certainly exciting things happening that will help us leapfrog and make progress. There's a lot of positive energy in finding solutions. Interestingly, my daughter is currently a junior in a program at our local high school called the Marin School of Environmental Leadership and their curriculum is all around climate and environmental solutions. Seeing her class and some of the products they had to come up with as juniors, sustainable products that they're currently marketing, it's just incredibly inspiring because you can see that it's just the way that the next generation thinks. I'm inspired by that. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? I'd have to recommend a book that I use. I'm teaching a sustainable enterprise course for the Sonoma State Executive Wine MBA program right now. I have them read Andrew Savits, the Triple Bottom Line. It's just a really great basic understanding of what sustainability means for business and how it's evolved over time and the trajectory that we're on that basically shows that this is an imperative, not a nice to have. I just think it does a great job of introducing all of the key concepts for those who may be newer to the sustainability world. Even for those who've been in it for a long time, it's a good reminder of the basic framework and concepts that are really key. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? The first thing that pops into my mind is people. I go to so many experts, Josh, you're one of them, on issues that I know they have more expertise than I have. The other resource that I turn to time and time again, which is kind of funny because I've been involved in helping to develop a lot of the resources in it, but it's still a really great repository of information. That's our resources library on sustainablewinegrowing.org. I can always stand to be refreshed on certain topics and it's a great way to point people to resources that they might need as well. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance? The website that is the most core to what we do as an organization is sustainablewinegrowing.org. That's where you'll find the resources library about the organization, ways to get involved, etc.

Thou Shall Always Conduct A Thorough Investigation This is the second in a series of fifteen claims commandments that I believe must be followed by every insurance claims professional. INVESTIGATION Investigation is a search for truth. It is an art form where facts are established. It has been defined by the state of California, for example, as follows: “Investigation” means all activities of an insurer, or its claims agent related to the determination of coverage, liabilities, or nature and extent of loss or damage for which benefits are afforded by an insurance policy, obligations or duties under a bond, and other obligations or duties arising from an insurance policy or bond. [California Code of Regulations, 10CFR2695.2(k)] Courts will not subject an insurance company to a choice between liability under a bad-faith-failure-to-investigate theory for publication of a denial of coverage without an adequate investigation. Liability can be imposed for a constructive denial imposed after the insurer has conducted a more thorough investigation that confirms an earlier determination of no coverage, on the theory of delay coupled with a wrongful intent. Courts, state statutes and regulations require that an insurer complete a thorough investigation before it decides the resolution of a claim for property damage, bodily injury, personal injury, or for defense and/or indemnity under a liability insurance policy. Initial conclusions based on a bare reading of a lawsuit or initial investigative interview are not enough. Rather, the insurer is required to perform a thorough investigation before deciding on a claim. Even though an insurance company is entitled to make a thorough investigation to determine whether there is coverage under its policy of insurance, the company acts at its peril in refusing to defend its insured. If it is subsequently determined that the company erroneously denied coverage, the company will be liable for damages for breach of its agreement under the policy, but if done in good faith it will not be required to pay exemplary damages. Insurers should conduct their thorough investigation as soon as possible. If a defense is required before the investigation can be completed, the prudent insurer will provide a defense to the insured under a reservation of rights, including a reservation to withdraw the defense and seek reimbursement for moneys expended in providing the defense under reservation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Today we will show you how to legally complain and remove a judge. The system has made it difficult, but Angel breaks down how to do it properly.   Michael's YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/user/MrPropriaPersona1 Want to help us fight judicial injustice? Donate to KidsMatter.charity  https://kidsmatter.charity/campaigns/kids-matter-donate/donate/ Transcript:  We have a returning guest Angel law. That's a pseudonym because she's so mixed up in so many cases. But she's here to explain something that I have a lot of interest in. And I'm sure a lot of you will, and that is how to properly complain and get your judges or attorneys in trouble for violating your rights or the law, or the million other things that they do so with that. Angel, let's talk about what it is that you've done and what you've figured out and what a lot of people don't know just an overview. Right. So what has recently happened was, I was a unique case, where I was able to remove a judge from my own matter by filing a motion to disqualify the judge based upon the judges. very terrible conduct. And this is the most difficult way to remove a judge. And it's fraught with obstacles, and it's something you wouldn't want to do. But in the course of figuring that out. Prior to asking the judge to remove himself because of his misconduct, I can first started off with making a complaint to the presiding judge of my courthouse. And this is really important because you can usually obtain a form by contacting the clerk of your court. And there's an official form that you can even fill out in handwriting. It's about two pages long so special complaint to the presiding judge and you send it in. The presiding judge has 30 days to respond, and they must respond within 30 days. Notice it's something I was looking for be a wonderful tool for all of us if we flood the court. And we drive the presiding judges into having an answer for the accordance conduct of their subordinate judges. We could maybe let them know hey, we know that you guys aren't supposed to be doing this. And Mr. Presiding or Mrs. Presiding Judge. You have an administrative and supervision advisory duty to do something about that. And maybe at least it's you know, just because they're they don't want to do the work. They might say to their subordinate judges. Hey, knock this off. I've got too many complaints to respond to so step number one, when you got to an awful judge is preparing to remove them with either a one or a coordinated effort where you're going to complain to the presiding and then you're going to complain to the BJP. But you don't want to complain. You thought though, I would just interject that doing it. This way to remove the judges is a lot harder than just go into 171 one 70.11 7.3 Or one 70.6 If you haven't recused anyone yet, right? And I, you know, in my experience, when I read the California Code of Civil Procedure, and this is not legal advice, this is my personal experience. I had a conversation with an appellate attorney, and a one 70.6 is a peremptory challenge. That means within 10 days of being appointed, a new judge, like your case is assigned to a new judicial officer. You're supposed to have 10 days and you left to complete your motion to challenge that judge and have an offense. Basically,

Explaining how to Deal With a Demand for Insurance Appraisal https://zalma.com/blog Almost all property insurance policies contain an “appraisal” clause similar to that in the Standard Fire Insurance Policy. This appraisal provision is, in many states, considered an arbitration proceeding. In California, an appraisal complies with the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq. It is easily implemented and works promptly. In some states, as becomes clear below, appraisal is not considered to be an arbitration, but is still enforceable as a contractual provision. However, the use of such appraisal will be rendered meaningless if the appraisers are bound to the some of the definitions of actual cash value issued by various courts and regulators. They are not entitled to resolve coverage issues but are compelled to reach their conclusions in accordance with the law of the state where the appraisal will take place. The appraisers are limited, however, only to decide the amount of loss and the value of the property in question. (Jefferson Insurance Company of New York v. Superior Court, 3 Cal. 3d 398, 90 Cal. Rptr. 608 (1970).) The appraisers cannot make decisions outside the limited scope of the policy language. They cannot find that the insured did not own the property, that the insured had no interest in it, that the insured was not entitled to recovery under policy exclusions, that the insured presented a fraudulent claim, or that the loss exceeds the policy limits. ZALMA OPINION Appraisal is an important right available to insurers and their insureds to resolve, without a great deal of expense, lawyer fees, and time to resolve the usual dispute between insurers and insured about the amount of loss. © 2021 – Barry Zalma --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Laws that impact home ownership are often not well understood. Many homeowners may not be aware of an exemption that slightly lowers annual property taxes or the exemption that protects homeowners from a particular kind of creditor — the judgment creditor, a creditor who has sued an individual in court and obtained a legal judgment to collect money owed. A judgment creditor has the right to take several actions to collect the debt, including selling assets like real estate. Show Notes:A homeowner must file for the homestead exemption with the correct county recorder's office. An example of a form can be found at the following link: https://saclaw.org/wp-content/uploads/sbs-homestead-declaration.pdfFootnotes:1 California Legislative Information, “Revenue and Taxation Code, section 218,” https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=RTC§ionNum=218.2 California Legislative Information, “Assembly Bill No. 1885, Chapter 94,” https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1885.

When users of Sony's PlayStation 4 (PS4) were greeted this past week with a warning that their party chats may be recorded, a number of publications sounded the alarm. Why was such functionality necessary? Was Sony spying on its users? To what end? As Sony took note of the controversy, the corporation proceeded to make blog posts and tweets assuring folks that "it wasn't that bad", and that Sony only had its users best interests in mind. But while the messaging was appreciated, the question remains: what rights does Sony reserve in its own terms of service. And how might those be changed to better reflect what the company is telling the world? Maybe play should have *some* limits...in Virtual Legality.

The book is designed to assist California insurance claims personnel, claims professionals, independent insurance adjusters, special fraud investigators, private investigators who work for the insurance industry, the management in the industry, the attorneys who serve the industry, and all integral anti-fraud personnel working with California admitted insurers who must comply with the requirements of the California SIU Claims Regulations that were rewritten and made operative October 1, 2020. The state of California, by statute, requires all admitted insurers to maintain a Special Investigative Unit (an “SIU”). The SIU must comply with the requirements set forth in the Special Investigative Unit Regulations (the “SIU Regulations”) and train all integral anti-fraud personnel to recognize indicators of insurance fraud. It is necessary, therefore, that insurance personnel who are engaged in any way in the presentation, processing, or negotiation of insurance claims in California to be familiar with the SIU Regulations. The state has imposed on all claims personnel duties to deal with insurance fraud if the insurers are doing business in the state. California licensed insurers are required by California Insurance Code Sections 1875.20-24 and California Code of Regulations, Title 10, Sections 2698.30 -.41 to establish and maintain Special Investigative Units that identify and refer suspected insurance fraud to the California Department of Insurance (CDI) and directly to the local California County District Attorney's Office for workers' compensation only. https://zalma.com/blog You Must Know how to Comply with the California SIU Regulations that are Effective October 1, 2020 New Regulations to Enforce Statutes Requiring Insurers To Maintain A Special Investigative Unit See the full video at https://youtu.be/gy_3jDhDaNII have completed a resource for everyone involved in the insurance industry in the state of California to enable them to comply with the newly revised California SIU Regulations since the revisions add much to the obligations of insurers doing business in California.

In losing its case to prevent 72+ individuals from bringing arbitration claims against it, Patreon has found itself in the unenviable position of having to bear enormous legal costs to defend what it no doubt sees as frivolous claims.

With all still quiet from both Twitch and Dr. Disrespect in respect of his ban, many have been left to wonder what anyone can do about the situation.

My research has confirmed that California Coronavirus eviction moratorium ordinances in the state of California differ by county and even by city within the same county. Some cities and counties have imposed eviction moratoriums only on residential property and others on both commercial and residential. Sometimes, even when the moratorium covers both commercial and residential property, the type of property is handled differently. In some places, the eviction moratorium imposes obligations on the tenant in order to receive the protection of the moratorium and in some places, the landlord is obligated to notify the tenant, in advance of the tenant's moratorium rights. It is confusing. Compounding the confusion are separate court closures and orders not to issue summons in unlawful detainer matters or for the Sheriff not to do lockouts. To top it all off, the orders and moratoriums are changing from week-to-week or even, day-to-day. During this webinar, I will do the best I can to give you up to date eviction moratorium information in many of the California counties and cities and give practical advice on how to protect yourself, whether as a landlord, tenant or property manager. The video of the webinar has additional material that I included after the webinar. To see the video, go to: https://youtu.be/cBiUz_Hu2s0 Also note that during the webinar I was asked a question that I did not entirely answer accurately.  The most correct answer to the question is that California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1951.4 requires reference to and suggests certain language of the code section to be included in the lease in order to sue for rents as the accrue.

The California Public Records Act gives people the right to inspect and obtain copies of government records that are non-privileged and non-exempt. It was enacted in 1968 to: (1) safeguard the accountability of government to the public, (2) promote maximum disclosure of the conduct of governmental operations, and (3) explicitly acknowledge the principle that secrecy is antithetical to a democratic system of “government of the people, by the people and for the people.”To put it another way, it’s a commitment to Open Government. But, it’s also being abused by a savvy few who don’t seek to hold a public agency accountable for anything expect monetary damages. It’s also being weaponized by predatory lawyers as a way to obtain discovery outside the parameters of the California Code of Civil Procedure.It always challenging to represent a public agency in civil litigation only to find out that the agency has already responded to a CPRA request. You can imagine how frustrating it is to also find out that records have been produced earlier and you haven’t made a consistent response to written discovery.Transparency in government is an important concept. But, public agencies have to be careful that they are being consistent in their responses and mindful of the privacy rights of third parties. They also have to be mindful that some unscrupulous individuals use the CPRA just to see if an agency will respond in the first place without any real intent to obtain the actual records.In this episode: The background of the CPRAImproperly withholding recordsWho can request recordsBeing protective of certain recordsTHE FINE PRINT This podcast is for general information only and not intended to be legal advice nor the formation of a lawyer-client relationship.

There's nothing worse than receiving a tort claim or lawsuit and you know, with certainty, that your agency had nothing to do with the alleged incident. Moreover, you look at the list of defendants and you notice that the plaintiff attorney has taken a shotgun approach and simply named every person and entity at, near, or next to the incident location. The first thing that goes through your head is "what a waste of time, energy, and money" this will all be. The second thing that goes through your head is "how do I make this pain stop?"Plaintiff attorneys - particularly the lazy ones - are using the shotgun approach to litigation now more than ever. At best, they want someone else to eliminate defendants so they don't have to make that decision. At worst, they believe they can use the claim or lawsuit to extort nuisance money from you. In today's episode, we'll talk about the shotgun approach to litigation, in general, and specific ways to counter such an attack. We'll also talk about the type of letter that can be sent out immediately upon receipt of a claim or lawsuit that alleges an incident that your entity has nothing at all to do with.

Bicycling and the Law Richard L. Duquette EP43 Bicycle and Wrongful Death Part 2 Who May Claim Damages   On today’s episode, Richard Duquette discusses Bicycle and Wrongful Death Part 2 Who May Claim Damages with Justin Nelson. Wrongful deaths cause extreme pain and stress to the surviving relatives. To maximize recovery, it’s important to keep them intact. Tune in to learn who are eligible and to understand how such cases can be resolved! Classes of Eligible Survivors In a wrongful death suit, the plaintiff are the surviving relatives. It focuses on the losses they suffered instead of the damages to the deceased.   There are different classes of eligible survivors. The primary ones are the surviving spouse, children, offspring, and parents. You may refer to California Code of Civil Procedure 337.60 for the complete list. Importance of an Experienced Attorney Wrongful deaths cause much grief and loss. As Richard puts it, the goal of the attorney is to help protect the surviving family from any further losses, grief, discomfort, emotional trauma.   This is why they should seek an experienced attorney, who can help them identify the eligible survivors. Having one attorney for everyone in the family is advantageous. He can help especially when a conflict of interest comes up.   It also minimizes the trauma and economically benefits the attorney. Everyone in the family should be intact for equal sharing, happiness, and better way to receive justice. How to Resolve To resolve, attorneys first identify the family members. They can get a conflict waiver if a conflict of interest exists. There should then be another attorney who can give an advise.   Having one attorney maximizes the overall damages. It is tactical and strategic to do so.   To hear about Bicycle and Wrongful Death Part 2 Who May Claim Damages, download and listen to the entire episode.   If you are short on time, here are the highlights of Bicycle and Wrongful Death Part 2 Who May Claim Damages:   Classes of eligible survivors?

Can a real estate broker represent a California property owner in a small claims court in a dispute involving the property? Yes.  Under the California Code of Civil Procedure, there is a way that a real estate broker (property management) can represent the property owner. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 116.540 CCP 116.540 states: (h) A party who is an owner of rental real property may appear and participate in a small claims action through a property agent under contract with the owner to manage the rental of that property, if : (1) the owner has retained the property agent principally to manage the rental of that property and not principally to represent the owner in small claims court, and (2) the claim relates to the rental property. This section allows a California property management company to appear in small claims court on behalf of the owner of the property in landlord-tenant related lawsuits. Should a property owner represent an owner in small claims court? This could be a source of revenue for the property management broker, but could also present risks of negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty. Listen to the show as Attorney Steve describes the legal risks. Do I need a special clause for small claims representation in my broker property management agreements? It would be wise, listen to the show to hear Attorney Steve's general comments on this topic.
