Nora Freeman Engstrom is a professor of law who says that in three-quarters of cases one or more of the parties lacks legal representation. Worse yet, often the litigants are involved in high-consequence civil cases where there is no right to a lawyer and costs are prohibitive. Some states are looking at alternatives including non-lawyer representation, curated legal help for low-income citizens, and even AI, as Engstrom tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

John is joined by Professor Song Sang-Hyun, retired Professor of Law at Seoul National University and former President of the International Criminal Court. Professor Song explains the origins of the Korean civil justice system which is based upon the German system by way of Japan. He discusses how after World War II, American Army officers drafted many of Korea's statutes and, in the past two decades, American law in fields such as corporate law, shipping and aviation law, antitrust law, securities regulations, intellectual property, and class action lawsuits have increasingly influenced Korean law. They then discuss Korean pretrial practice which does not involve voluminous document discovery or any depositions and often involves the trial judge also acting as a mediator. Professor Song explains some of the unique aspects of Korean trial practice including Korea's recent adoption of juries that render advisory decisions on disputed facts and that cases average less than a year from filing through trial. They also discuss that the loser must pay the winner's attorneys' fees, although, in practice, courts tend to award less than all the fees incurred. Finally, they discuss some of the emerging issues in Korean law including labor, environmental and privacy law as well as the protection of personal information.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Dan outlines how the two civil trials of Donald Trump are shameless perversions of justice and are the most compelling evidence yet that the left has no qualms about destroying the Rule of Law to destroy its political enemies.
Nino Marchese, director of both the Criminal Justice and Civil Justice Taskforces at ALEC, sits down with Lars Dalseide to discuss the essential policy solutions both taskforces are focusing on for 2024. Civil justice focuses on lawsuit reform, tort reform, regulatory reform, and donor privacy issues. On the other hand, criminal justice seeks to address the challenges faced by individuals caught in the criminal justice system. The aim is to help these individuals reintegrate into society rather than being trapped in a cycle of criminality. Balancing these two task forces can be challenging, as they require different perspectives and approaches. While they both fall under the domain of judiciary issues, the issues they tackle are unique. The role of the task force director is to keep their focus on separate tracks, even though these tracks are relevant to the judicial system as a whole.
On the heels of the recent LCJ meeting and Rule 702 going into effect, IADC President Michele Smith (MehaffyWeber) and IADC member Mitch Smith (Germer PLLC) talk all things civil justice with Mark Behrens (Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP), Molly Craig (Hood Law Firm, LLC), and Lee Mickus (Evans Fears Schuttert McNulty & Mickus).

Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review Episode Details: Acclaimed trial lawyer Mark Mandell of Mandell, Boisclair & Mandell, Ltd. explains how he successfully advocated for Alissa Moulton, who was ejected from her boyfriend Alexander Arango's car after he lost control while driving under the influence, leaving her paralyzed. In April 2010, Alexander, who was only 18 years-old at the time, became highly intoxicated after he was illegally served alcoholic drinks at Twin River Casino and Royal Liquors store in Rhode Island. While under the influence, Alexander drove his mother's 1997 Toyota Camry and lost control of the passenger-filled vehicle as it struck a median barrier, crossed two highway lanes, rolled onto its roof and hit a tree, ejecting Alissa and another passenger. Today, Alissa is paralyzed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair. Despite the defense's attempts to poke holes in the established timeline of events and to question whether Alexander was served drinks at the casino, a Providence, Rhode Island jury found in favor of the plaintiff Alissa, returning a total judgment of $21,270,455.69 in November 2016.

Friend of the show, Chris Nace, joins Tad and Mike to talk about the National Civil Justice Institute (formerly “Pound Institute”) and its growth into the future. As President for 2022-23, Chris shares exciting developments about the organization, including its rebrand to “The National Civil Justice Institute.” The Institute is largely known for its annual Judge's Forum, which brings together numerous state appellate court judges to discuss evolving issues in the justice system in a way that allows a balanced and free exchange of ideas. However, the Institute has grown beyond the Forum and is now becoming known for the breadth of its work and passionate support of the civil justice system, including recognizing individuals across the country for their appellate advocacy and academic contributions to ensuring our civil justice system stays fair and open to the public.

On September 16, 2011, President Obama signed the American Invents Act (AIA) into law. The first major overhaul of the U.S. patent system since the 1952 Patents Act, the AIA received overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers when enacted. But, with the recent ten-year anniversary of the AIA, a new director poised to take the helm at the USPTO, and Congress ramping up debate on reforms to the AIA, is now the time for a reexamination? Our speakers will consider the role of the PTAB in resolving patent disputes and the legality of the exercise of significant discretionary authority by the USPTO Director to implement policy outside the authority granted the director under the AIA.Featuring:-- Joseph Matal, partner in the Intellectual Property Practice Group in the Washington, D.C. office of Haynes and Boone, LLP-- Paul Brian Taylor, who served over 20 years as Counsel and Chief Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. He also served as Senior Counsel at the House Committee on Oversight.-- Moderator: Hon. Bob Goodlatte, Former Congressman, United States House of Representatives
Mark is an award-winning author, social justice advocate, and retired attorney. He is best known for writing the Zachary Blake Betrayal books. As an attorney, he spent his career trying cases for social justice. Now in retirement, he culled knowledge from those cases and from other social justice issues, and put pen to paper in developing his books. His self-published, 'Betrayal' books, are a series of legal thriller novels. His sixth book in the series, 'Supreme Betrayal' is loosely based on the hearing and appointment of Brent Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a trial attorney, Bello said he witnessed convictions of innocent men who lacked the resources for a strong defense litigator.Zachary Blake, the main protagonist in his books, is based on his own experiences growing up Jewish, and practicing law in and around Detroit. Mark said he created Blake as a young man who was inspired to become a lawyer and pursue justice after listening to his grandfather's survival stories from Auschwitz, chronicled in Bello's novella, L'Dor va Dor (2020).I'm so glad Mark stopped by A Juicy Pear Podcast, to talk about his fascinating experiences, and remarkable life.

Our special guests are the authors of a 259-page study, “Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed,” which makes the case that the civil justice system has been corrupted by corporations and no longer protects average Americans from corporate abuse. The study is accompanied by a draft model law intended to create new rights and protections for consumers. The authors explain the basis for their view that fundamental change is needed, including the elimination of a company's ability to assert a “duty to read” defense or use mandatory arbitration provisions in consumer contracts. They also discuss their plans for promoting the model law. Alan Kaplinsky, Ballard Spahr Senior Counsel, hosts the conversation.

A recent poll from the Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center found that 91 percent of Americans favor some sort of criminal justice system and police reform. But that's not the only aspect of our legal system hampered by decades of discrimination, racism, and classism. There is also a persistent civil justice gap in America - and it's widening.rnrnThe civil justice gap is described as the difference between the civil legal needs of low-income Americans and the resources available to meet those needs. According to one recent study, poor and low-income Americans received adequate legal attention for only 14 percent of the civil problems they reported. The vast majority, unable to afford representation, too often navigate the courts and other bureaucracies on their own as they face eviction, debt collection lawsuits, issues with immigration, disability, and domestic violence. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated this problem. What is it about the way our courts work that make it so hard for ordinary people to navigate them and get the resolutions they need?rnrnJoin us as national and local experts discuss the scope and scale of the problems that people encounter in the civil legal system, and explore some potential solutions.
