Will Potter, author of *Green is the New Red* and one of the best-known observers and analysts of the way the state uses contrived charges of "terrorism" to attack environmental activists, joined me for a great discussion about the recent North Dakota court case where Energy Transfer Partners sued Greenpeace and won a huge settlement. We talked at length about the ways in which the oil companies and the state have criminalized free speech and allowed the oligarchs to intimidate and destroy activist groups. We also discussed the current repression--the attacks on migrants, students, anti-Tesla activists, etc--and the new level of risks we're facing.bio//Will Potter is a thought leader and award-winning investigative journalist and author whose work has focused on social justice movements and attacks on civil rights post-9/11.

Professor Alan Chen from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law joins Adam and Jordana before his speech at the Silha Center tonight.

In our latest, we talk with author and journalist Will Potter about the new status quo that will be the second Trump administration. We discuss the threats to immigrant communities and the First Amendment that protects journalists and activists. We discuss the fracturing of society, and the fracturing of left movements. We also discuss the impact of Trump on the far right, and, of course, Luigi Mangione. It's about to be a dark bumpy ride. Buckle up and we'll all do the best we can.

In this Better Satellite World podcast series, we ask the question: “What would you do if you had the power to make the world a better place during your career?” Joining SSPI's Lou Zacharilla to answer that question in the fourth episode are 2 members of the “20 Under 35” cohort of 2023: Aysha Alharam, Acting Head of Satellite Design and Development at the Bahrain National Space Science Agency and Laura Cummings, Regulatory Affairs Counsel at Astroscale U.S. Aysha Alharam is the current Acting Head of Satellite Design and Development for the National Space Science Agency (NSSA) of Bahrain. She began her career in 2018 when she was selected as one of the nine first members of the Bahrain Space Team, a position that had over 4,000 other applicants. As the first Bahraini space engineer leading the team, Aysha served as project manager, idea innovator and software developer for the “Aman” payload project, which won the prestigious Payload Hosting Initiative – organized by the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) in 2022 – out-competing space agencies, companies, universities and research centers from over 100 countries. The Aman payload project showcases Eng, which focuses on securing satellite data through a novel cybersecurity encryption algorithm based on FPGA and parallel processing technology. Aysha personally developed the idea of the AI-based image processing system that will be onboard the first Bahraini satellite, “AlMunther,” the first of its kind in the Middle East region. She completed her education with two Masters degrees, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in space technology from Khalifa University in the UAE and one in Information Technology and Computer Science from the University of Bahrain. Laura Cummings is Regulatory Affairs Counsel for Astroscale U.S., a position in which she is responsible for identifying and helping to create the regulatory framework to authorize In-Orbit Servicing, Assembling and Manufacturing (ISAM) for spacecrafts such as Astroscale's Life Extension In-Orbit (LEXI) missions. These satellite missions require knowledge and expertise in multiple legal frameworks, orbital regimes and technical innovations, with only a handful of precedents that can be considered examples by regulators. In addition to her work on the ISAM regulatory framework, Laura represents Astroscale U.S. in a variety of industry associations, including the Commercial SmallSat Spectrum Management Association (CSSMA) – of which she is President and a Board Member – and the Consortium for the Execution of Rendezvous and Servicing (CONFERS), where she helps the industry to shape policies and communications standards for ISAM missions. Before joining Astroscale U.S., she served as a Regulatory Intern at SES Satellites and a FAA Legal Honors Intern at the Federal Aviation Administration. Laura received her Bachelor of Arts in International Regulations and Affairs, Astronomy from the University of Colorado Boulder, her Doctor of Law in Space Law and International Law from the University of Denver – Sturm College of Law and her Juris Doctor in Space Law from Georgetown University Law Center. While earning her degrees, she held major roles in the Space Law Society at both Georgetown University Law Center, where she served as Vice President and then President, and at Denver University, where she served as Executive Director.

Show NotesUniversity of Denver Sturm College of Law associate professor Govind Persad's newest paper, “Defining Health Affordability,” looks into the phenomenon of how Americans avoid seeking healthcare because of the cost. The meat of his latest research, however, comes down to investigating why we don't have a universal definition for the idea of healthcare affordability.In this episode, Emma chats with Persad, who offers his own definition of health affordability and examines today's American healthcare landscape.Govind Persad's research applies bioethical and distributive justice frameworks to law in order to address longstanding and new problems at the interface of health law and policy.Persad's current projects evaluate potential definitions of health affordability, consider how to integrate health justice and equity into frameworks for the allocation of scarce medical resources, and propose new frameworks for international pandemic response. His research has most recently been supported by a Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Award. He is participating in the Colorado National Wastewater Surveillance System Center of Excellence at DU and serves on the Faculty Advisory Committee for the Scrivner Institute of Public Policy.More Information:"Defining Health Affordability" by Govind Persad“Sue Lowden Stands by Chicken Health Care Barter Plan” CBS News“Pricing Drugs Fairly” by Govind Persad“Americans' Challenges with Health Care Costs” by Lunna Lopes, Marley Presiado and Liz Hamel

Michelle Atlas-Quinn, J.D. is the Vice President of RIA Operations for Advisor Law. She is an  Attorney licensed by the Colorado Supreme Court to practice law (active registration). She earned her Juris Doctorate from University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Michelle formerly held FINRA licenses Series 7, 63, and 24 and former Colorado life and health insurance license. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Colorado.   David and Michelle discuss the transition from working with a broker-dealer to becoming an independent registered investment advisor (RIA). Michelle shared her career journey which led her to founding the RIA division at Advisor Law. She discussed some of the benefits of being an RIA like lower fees, less regulatory oversight, and more freedom in marketing. However, she cautioned that as an independent advisor there is more responsibility to ensure compliance. Michelle provided tips on complying with regulations and working with a compliance partner like Advisor Law. Overall, the discussion focused on helping advisors understand the opportunities and responsibilities involved in making the shift to the RIA space.   "The SEC Rule is, am I doing what's in the client's best interest? Am I being careful with their money and making decisions that I think are careful." - Michelle Atlas   This week on The Model FA Podcast: Career journey and RIA services with Michelle Atlas. Transitioning from broker-dealer to RIA. Regulatory changes and compliance in the RIA space. Marketing in the financial industry with a focus on compliance. SEC compliance for financial advisors transitioning from broker-dealers to registered investment advisors. Our Favorite Quotes:   "Anything that you collect a fee on, is Ria, anything you could collect a commission on, is a broker-dealer. And so you look at your book and you say, well, what else am I still collecting commissions on?" - Michelle Atlas   “From a marketing standpoint, in the RIA space, it's just nice that you can market your business more in alignment with the way that businesses are marketed today.” - David DeCelle   "So there are some challenges, but I think  85-90% of most people's books these days, if you look at them, are fee based, because they are using managed money." - Michelle Atlas   "FINRA derives their jurisdiction from the SEC. So instead of having three regulators, and if you're doing insurance, maybe four, you're down to three." - Michelle Atlas   Connect with Michelle:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelleatlas/ Website: https://advisorlawllc.com/ Email: matlas@advisorlawyer.com   About the Model FA Podcast   The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.

Crunch the Numbers: Using Big Data to Achieve Better VerdictsToo often, lawyers use guesswork to make decisions in cases worth tens of millions of dollars. And while gut feelings can be powerful, what if you could make decisions based on hard data instead? That's exactly what John Campbell is helping lawyers do every day. John has come up with an innovative method of using scientific survey techniques to predict the outcomes of jury trials. His studies can tell you whether you're likely to win or lose a case, how much compensation you're likely to get from a jury, and even how you should structure your case to get the best verdict. John developed this technique during his tenure as a professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, and to date, he's helped lawyers recover nearly $2 billion in trial. This week, John walks us through how his system works and the amazing results they've seen. Learn how your firm can start making better-informed decisions in trial, from jury selection to your closing argument. Key takeaways: Big data can help you get better verdicts. John's system has proven to be incredibly accurate at predicting what a jury will award in a case. Not only can you make sure you're not asking so much that the jury will vote against you, but you can make sure you're not leaving any money on the table. The earlier you start studying the case, the more options you have. If you call John in two weeks before trial, he can perform a study, but you'll be limited in the changes you can make to get the best result. If you call him in early, he can help you shape your case to get the best possible outcome.  Creating empathy with the jury is key. Using techniques like “the man in the black suit” can help jurors start to put themselves in the plaintiff's shoes. This may make them more likely to return a larger settlement for your client. To contact John Campbell, visit his website (below) or text him at (314) 249-2500.

Episode Summary John and Alicia Campbell join Ben and Rahul for a follow up discussion on the value of Big Data in preparing cases for trial.  John is joined by his business partner, fellow attorney and wife, Alicia Campbell.  John and Alicia discuss their forthcoming book, co-authored with Attorney Sean Claggett, in which they present both the science and practical uses of big data to help trial lawyers make better decisions and achieve better trial results.  In this episode, John and Alicia discuss some of the lessons learned from years of jury research and big data studies; how the data is best used to maximize value at trial; and some of the common mistakes trial lawyers make in case presentation and jury selection that can impact the win rate and verdict value in the case. About John and Alicia Campbell John and Alicia Campbell, Campbell Law John Campbell, JD is a trial and appellate lawyer turned law professor turned jury researcher.John trained as a trial lawyer under John Simon, a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, and then went on to become a successful consumer attorney.  John's verdicts and settlements exceed $350 million.  John has also handled appeals in the Eighth, Second, Tenth, and Fourth Circuit, as well as the United States Supreme Court and a variety of state courts.  Most recently, John served as lead counsel in a series of class actions against municipalities, including Ferguson, Missouri, who engaged in policing for profit.  The cases led to the eradication of many predatory fees targeted at minorities and the working poor.   John remains a member of Campbell Law LLC.For eight years John served as a professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.  While there, he founded the Civil Justice Research Initiative, dedicated to better understanding jury behavior through rigorous empirical research.  He continues to run CJRI at the University of Denver and teaches as an adjunct professor.John's academic work led to demand for him to study individual cases for plaintiff attorneys.  He ultimately founded Empirical Jury.  In only a few years, Empirical Jury has emerged as a cutting-edge firm that uses big data and scientific approaches to equip attorneys to obtain the best result possible for clients.  Empirical Jury has been involved in verdicts in excess of $550 million and is routinely called on to analyze some of the most complex consequential cases in the country.During the Covid-19 era, Empirical Jury is also leading the way on understanding the Covid Effect through careful data gathering and analysis.  To date, Empirical Jury has surveyed over 1,200 jurors on topics relating to Covid-19, virtual trials, and jury duty. Alicia CampbellAlicia started Campbell Law, LLC, in 2009. Prior to that, she worked for a legal services law firm representing people in Social Security and consumer claims. Alicia decided to create her own firm so that she could handle the cases she wanted and give her clients a personal and positive experience.Since opening Campbell Law, Alicia has tried a mortgage fraud case to verdict in 2010, and she has argued before the Court of Appeals in 2011 and 2013 about mortgage issues. In 2015, she settled a mortgage fraud case in Missouri for $1.5 million dollars. And in 2016, Alicia settled a mortgage fraud and wrongful foreclosure case in Missouri  for $4 million dollars. Alicia has also appeared in front of the Missouri State Supreme Court in 2012 and 2013 arguing on behalf of homeowners, in an attempt to change the unlawful detainer statute in Missouri. She has argued before the 8th Circuit,  and she has also argued before the Missouri Court of Appeals in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.In 2018, Alicia was lead counsel in certifying a class action against the City of Ferguson for its use of illegal and excessive fees in municipal court to generate profit.Alicia takes on mortgage companies and banks, as well as other types of financial fraud. She has pursued mortgage fraud claims for the last 5 years and understands people's struggles when it comes to their homes. She has been voted one of the best lawyers to call "if the bank wants your house." She has filed individual and class cases that involve predatory lending practices and schemes by banks and small lenders. She also sues debt collectors, auto dealers, and payday lenders, and has had considerable experience in the employment context, handling employment discrimination claims. Big Data is a fundamental part of Campbell Law.More than perhaps any other firm in the country, Campbell Law believes that better information makes better decisions. Campbell Law believes that big data and a science based approach to cases levels the playing field and that it can make any case more valuable. Indeed, John and Alicia operate on a simple rule: Big decisions call for big data.You can't decide whether to settle, what jurors to select, what evidence to share, how your client plays, whether to admit some comparative fault, how much to ask for in closing argument, or any of the other myriad questions we all face by relying solely on your gut. You need real answers. And they are available with big data. The methods are now tried and true. Time and again, the methods John and Alicia have developed have accurately predicted verdict ranges and provided insights into how to win difficult cases and to maximize value.This marriage of big data with trial law came from a happy confluence of events.John started his journey towards big data while working as a professor at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. There he became a well-known academic studying jurors. He is a recognized author in the field and continues to produce research to advance justice in courts and legislatures.Alicia joined the fight as she began to study her own cases using the same principles that informed academic studies. This desire to meld scientific rigor with real world questions produced a company called Empirical Jury. As founders of Empirical Jury, John and Alicia studied cases in at least 40 states, using over 135,000 jurors, across 330+ cases. In only five years they were honored to participate in over $1 billion in verdicts and more than $2 billion in settlements.Empirical Jury was a wonderful experience, but it was only a first step. Over the last five years, as the plaintiff bar has embraced big data, so too has the defense. PhDs in social science and statistics are now common hires at large defense firms.So, John and Alicia decided that more was required. At Campbell Law they are driven by three future-looking goals.To continue to use big data to help attorneys obtain, fine-grained, and powerful insights that help them best serve their clients;To develop technological tools for the future, including jury selection software, AI that allows deeper understanding of juries, and much more;To encourage the development of a wider body of knowledge and research regarding jurors and juries. This includes founding the Justice through Empirical Data Institute (JEDI), which will work with Arizona State University to fund important jury research that benefits all of the practicing bar.

Paulino Mamiir Chol  He was kidnapped as a child: separated from his family and taken to Northern Sudan by gunpoint.  He marched barefoot across three African countries on a quest for freedom.  He rose up and became a leader to the frightened and hungry band of boys who the world would come to know as The Sudanese Lost Boys.  Paulino Chol tells the true story of his journey in his book, Leading The Lost Boys: The Untold Journey. He retells how, at the age of seven, he was kidnapped by the Sudanese militias called Murahalin and separated from his family. He tells of his escape from the militia with the help of a fellow captive and return to his mother and sisters. The homecoming was short-lived, as his village was invaded again, and he barely escaped as he fled with his uncle, barefoot into the desert and running for his life.  Paulino was forced, along with 30,000 other Lost Boys, to survive in a refugee camp in Ethiopia. There, he refused to remain a victim and instead became a leader. Chol fights to this day for the people in Southern Sudan.  Discover this true story of fortitude and survival: of strength in the face of unimaginable human rights abuses and a new mission in life in the United States.  Paulino Chol is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in management and homeland security at Colorado Technical University. Mr. Chol has a master's degree in law and policy from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Mr. Chol has a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice from the University of Colorado.

Prof. DuVivier talks about Michael Moore's 2020 film and explains the growing pains of the carbon-neutral industry. We hear much talk about green energy. But other terms are used as well, including renewable energy, clean energy, green energy and sustained energy. So which term is correct, and which term is more important for legislation and fundraising purposes? And how does politics fit into all of this? And why do some environmentalists oppose solar power projects? For answers to these questions, and much more, we spoke with Professor DuVivier of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. She is Chair in Natural Resources Law, an award-winning professor, the author of two books on energy, and also has a degree and experience working in geology.

Anybody on social media has seen it: dueling posts, arguing over a hot political issue. The protagonists in these online debates are generally sincere in their convictions, but Vanessa Otero says that too many of us remain unaware of the media biases that shape our understanding of the world. Otero is the creator of the Media Bias Chart®, the viral image that rates news organizations on their reliability and degree of political bias in their work and maps them accordingly.  The chart prompted lively discussions about where people get their news when it was published.  She is the CEO of Ad Fontes Media, the company she founded in 2018 to fulfill the need revealed by the popularity of the Chart—the need for an easy-to-understand, reliable news rating system.  Otero seeks to impact the way consumers, educators, and organizations deal with today’s complex media landscape through her work at Ad Fontes Media.  She is a practicing patent attorney and earned her J.D. from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
