To celebrate the release on July 29th of The War on Science, we have recorded 20 podcast interviews with authors from the book. Starting on July 22nd, with Richard Dawkins, we will be releasing one interview per day.

The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west. I am hoping that you will find the interviews enlightening and encourage you to look at the new book when it is released, and help become part of the effort to restore sound science and scholarship in academia.

This conversation delves into the complexities of causation in criminal law, exploring both factual and proximate causation, the impact of intervening causes, and advanced considerations such as the Model Penal Code. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foreseeability and fairness in assigning legal responsibility, while also providing practical strategies for analyzing causation in exam scenarios.TakeawaysCausation is fundamental to criminal law and essential for legal professionals.Factual causation is established through the 'but for' test, but is not sufficient alone for liability.Proximate causation considers whether the result is fair to impose liability, focusing on foreseeability.Intervening causes can break the chain of causation, especially if they are unforeseeable or independent.The eggshell skull rule holds defendants liable for the full extent of harm caused, even if the victim had pre-existing vulnerabilities.The Model Penal Code provides a structured approach to causation, linking it to the mental state required for crimes.Courts often adapt causation principles based on policy goals and the context of the case.Causation analysis requires a systematic approach, asking critical questions about factual and proximate causes.Understanding the interplay between causation and legal responsibility is key for aspiring legal professionals.Causation is a dynamic area of law that evolves with societal changes and technological advancements.causation, criminal law, factual causation, proximate causation, intervening causes, Model Penal Code, legal responsibility, foreseeability, criminal liability, legal analysis

From the attempt to end birthright citizenship to the gutting of congressionally authorized agencies, the Trump Administration has created an enormous number of legal controversies. The Radio Hour asked for listeners' questions about President Trump and the courts. To answer them, David Remnick speaks with two regular contributors: Ruth Marcus, who writes about legal issues and the Supreme Court, and Jeannie Suk Gersen, who teaches constitutional law at Harvard Law School. While the writers disagree on some significant questions—such as the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Trump v. CASA, which struck down the use of nationwide injunctions—both acknowledge the unprecedented nature of some of the questions from listeners. “They never taught you these things in law school, because he's pushing on areas of the law that are not normally pushed on,” Marcus tells Remnick.

Federal courts ramp up filing system security after ‘recent escalated cyberattacks'; Jamie Holcombe steps down as USPTO CIO

The Daily Scoop Podcast

The U.S. judiciary announced plans to increase security for sensitive information on its case management system following what it described as “recent escalated cyberattacks of a sophisticated and persistent nature.” In a Thursday statement, the federal judiciary said it's “taking additional steps to strengthen protections for” that information. It also said its “further enhancing security of the system and to block future attacks, and it is prioritizing working with courts to mitigate the impact on litigants.” The statement from the third branch comes one day after a Politico report revealed that its case filing system had recently been breached. That report cited unnamed sources who were concerned that the identities of confidential court informants may have been compromised. While the federal courts' statement acknowledged a recent escalation in cyberattacks on its case management system, it didn't confirm details of the reported breach. In response to a FedScoop request for additional information about the reported attack, a spokesman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts declined to comment and pointed back to the statement. The reported hack and statement come after a cyberbreach of the same system in 2020. In early 2021, during a hack of SolarWinds' Orion products, the federal courts disclosed that it found “apparent compromise” of the Case Management/Electronic Case Files system (CM/ECF) and was investigating the matter. Its statement after that breach similarly indicated that “federal courts are immediately adding new security procedures to protect highly sensitive confidential documents filed with the courts.” Jamie Holcombe is joining Maryland-based technology company US AI after wrapping up roughly six-and-a-half years as the chief information officer of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Holcombe, who served as both CIO and chief AI officer at USPTO, will be vice president of the AI firm, with a focus on scaling its technology throughout the federal government, according to a Thursday announcement from US AI shared with FedScoop. Holcombe's last day at the agency was Wednesday, according to a USPTO spokeswoman. Deborah Stephens, deputy CIO for the agency, will serve as acting CIO. At USPTO, Holcombe oversaw “one of the federal government's largest IT transformations,” per the announcement. That work included leading the agency's transition to a cloud-first environment and the launch of its AI Lab, where USPTO can test use cases. As part of his new role, Holcombe will work to expand US AI's Intelligent Computing Platform, which is aimed at accelerating the adoption of AI in sectors that are highly regulated, across government. He will also lead the company's strategy to align its technology with its use in public sector and regulated areas, scaling codeless and zero-trust tools, and build on the company's “values of clarity, security, and accessibility in AI deployment.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

In Harrington v. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc., the Ninth Circuit ruled that, in FLSA collective actions, federal courts must evaluate personal jurisdiction before allowing notices to out-of-state employees in nationwide claims—a move that strengthens employers' ability to challenge these cases. Key Takeaways for Employers Jurisdiction matters: Courts must confirm jurisdiction before notifying out-of-state employees. Limited forum shopping: Plaintiffs face limits to filing in unrelated jurisdictions. Stronger grounds for employers: Employers can challenge out-of-state claims with no forum ties. Arbitration implications: Courts may notify employees under arbitration agreements. In this episode of Employment Law This Week®, Epstein Becker Green attorney Courtney McFate describes the Harrington ruling and shares insights to help employers adapt and minimize costly lawsuits.

Torts Lecture Twenty-Three: Vicarious Liability: Employer Responsibility and Agency Principles

Law School

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 6, 2025 48:24


This conversation delves into the intricate world of vicarious liability, a fundamental concept in tort law that holds one party legally responsible for the tortious acts of another based on their relationship. The discussion covers key elements such as the employer-employee relationship, the scope of employment, and the distinctions between minor detours and major frolics. It also explores the implications of intentional torts, the treatment of independent contractors, and the principles of agency law. The conversation highlights various defenses against vicarious liability claims, policy justifications for the doctrine, and modern trends in the gig economy and institutional accountability.Explain the core difference between "vicarious liability" and "direct negligence" of an employer. Vicarious liability holds an employer responsible for an employee's tortious actions, even if the employer themselves did nothing wrong, based solely on the employment relationship. Direct negligence, conversely, means the employer is liable for their own wrongful conduct, such as negligent hiring or supervision, which directly contributed to the harm.What is the purpose of the "respondeat superior" doctrine, and where did the term originate? The purpose of respondeat superior is to hold employers liable for their employees' torts committed within the scope of employment, based on the idea that employers benefit from their employees' work and should bear associated risks. The term is Latin for "let the master answer" and has roots in Roman law.Provide an example that clearly illustrates the distinction between a "frolic" and a "detour" for an employee. If a delivery driver takes a slightly longer route to see a new billboard (a minor deviation), that's a detour, and the employer could still be liable for any accidents. However, if the same driver skips work for several hours to attend a baseball game and causes an accident en route to the game (a major departure for personal benefit), that's a frolic, likely absolving the employer of vicarious liability.List three factors courts consider when determining whether an employee's actions fall within the "scope of employment." Courts consider: (1) Was the act the kind of work the employee was hired to perform? (2) Did it occur within the authorized time and space limits? (3) Was it motivated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the employer?Why are employers generally not held vicariously liable for the torts of independent contractors? Employers are generally not vicariously liable for independent contractors because they do not exercise direct control over the "manner and means" of the contractor's work. Independent contractors typically operate their own distinct business and are not economically dependent on a single hiring party in the same way an employee is.Identify two common exceptions to the general rule regarding employer non-liability for independent contractors. Two common exceptions are: (1) Non-delegable duties, where certain public safety obligations cannot be shifted to a contractor (e.g., maintaining safe premises for customers). (2) Inherently dangerous activities, where the work itself carries a significant risk of harm (e.g., demolition work).Beyond the employer-employee relationship, name two other relationships where vicarious liability principles can apply. Vicarious liability principles can also apply in principal-agent relationships (where an agent acts with authority on behalf of a principal) and partnerships (where one partner can be liable for another's torts in the ordinary course of business). Parental vicarious liability is also possible under certain circumstances.How does "negligent entrustment" differ from vicarious liability in the context of an employer's responsibility? Negligent entrustment is a form of direct negligence where an employer is liable for entrusting property (like a company vehicle) to an employee known to be unfit or reckless, and th

The 100-year-old named insured died of natural causes. His daughter, the executor, inherited and moved into the home, continuing to pay the same bills—including insurance premiums. Four years later, a fire occurred, but the policy still listed her late father. Can it pay out?   Notable Timestamps [ 00:10 ] - The daughter continued to pay the premiums, but did not contact the insurance company to advise them of her father's death. [ 01:30 ] - Trivia Time! Who was the oldest living person? [ 04:06 ] – Insurance policies generally follow the insureds, as defined by the policy, as opposed to the property itself.  [ 05:01 ] - A "death clause" provides a grace period to ensure coverage for the legal representative of the deceased (such as the executor of the estate) with respect to the premises and property covered at the time of death. This provision allows the family time to address affairs following a death. [ 06:15 ] – The grace period is not indefinite. Coverage under this clause typically ceases once the probate proceeding is finalized and the assets are distributed, as there is no longer a legal representative for the deceased. Some modern policies also include a hard cap, such as 180 days (approximately six months), for this grace period. [ 10:20 ] – Insurance companies are generally not obligated to actively seek out information regarding a policyholder's death. Courts have affirmed that the responsibility lies with the policyholder or the person seeking coverage to notify the insurer of any changes to the situation. [ 13:56 ] – Arguments appealing to "fairness" or doctrines like "mutual mistake" (where both parties are mistaken about a fact) typically do not succeed in court when the insurance company was unaware of the policyholder's death.  [ 17:33 ] – To prevent coverage lapses and ensure proper protection, it is critical for individuals or their families to contact their insurance agent or company to update policies, especially after a major life event like the death of a named insured. [ 14:00 ] - Tim provides a recap of the points above.

The dialogues are blunt, and provocative, and point out the negative effects that the current war on science going on within universities is having on the progress of science and scholarship in the west. We are hoping that the essays penned by this remarkable group of scholars will help provoke discussion both within universities and the public at large about how to restore trust, excellence, merit, and most important sound science, free speech and free inquiry on university campuses. Many academics have buried their heads in the sand hoping this nonsense will go away. It hasn't and we now need to become more vocal, and unified in combatting this modern attack on science and scholarship. The book was completed before the new external war on science being waged by the Trump administration began. Fighting this new effort to dismantle the scientific infrastructure of the country is important, and we don't want to minimized that threat. But even if the new attacks can be successfully combatted in Congress, the Courts, and the ballot box, the longstanding internal issues we describe in the new book, and in the interviews we are releasing, will still need to be addressed to restore the rightful place of science and scholarship in the west. I am hoping that you will find the interviews enlightening and encourage you to look at the new book when it is released, and help become part of the effort to restore sound science and scholarship in academia.

It's easy to give up on the courts right now. SCOTUS is throwing down unreasoned decisions expanding Donald Trump's authority, and Senate Republicans keep confirming the president's cronies to lifetime judgeships, tarnishing the entire judiciary with their corruption.  But there are judges—courageous, hard-working men and women—who have chosen a different path and are fighting to protect democracy and restore our civil rights. In his new book, Better Judgment: How Three Judges Are Bringing Justice Back to the Courts (out Sept. 2), Reynolds Holding tells the story of three of these judges and how they are laying the groundwork for a post-Trump future in which the courts serve as guardians of liberty rather than instruments of autocracy. Holding speaks with co-host Mark Joseph Stern about these judges' refusal to accept business as usual and vision of a court that truly delivers equal justice to all.  Want more Amicus?

Imagine a future where the most persuasive voices in our society aren't human. Where AI generated speech fills our newsfeeds, talks to our children, and influences our elections. Where digital systems with no consciousness can hold bank accounts and property.  Where AI companies have transferred the wealth of human labor and creativity to their own ledgers without having to pay a cent. All without any legal accountability.This isn't a science fiction scenario. It's the future we're racing towards right now. The biggest tech companies are working right now to tip the scale of power in society away from humans and towards their AI systems. And the biggest arena for this fight is in the courts.In the absence of regulation, it's largely up to judges to determine the guardrails around AI. Judges who are relying on slim technical knowledge and archaic precedent to decide where this all goes. In this episode, Harvard Law professor Larry Lessig and Meetali Jain, director of the Tech Justice Law Project help make sense of the court's role in steering AI and what we can do to help steer it better.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.
