"If you work a full-time minimum wage job in America, there is not a single county in which you can afford to rent an apartment (2 bedroom) with a child." - Jonathan F.P. RoseJonathan F.P. Rose has been revolutionizing affordable housing and sustainable development for over 35 years, long before ESG became mainstream.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the law of remedies, focusing on the distinctions between legal and equitable remedies. It explores the historical context of law versus equity, the various types of legal damages, and the principles governing equitable relief. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding remedies for effective legal practice and offers practical takeaways for law students preparing for exams and future careers.In the complex world of law, understanding the nuances of legal remedies can be daunting. Imagine a scenario where a breach of contract has occurred. What options does the aggrieved party have? This is where the distinction between damages and equitable relief becomes crucial.Damages: Damages are monetary compensations awarded to a party that has suffered loss or injury due to another's actions. As John Doe, a renowned legal expert, puts it, "Damages aim to put the injured party in the position they would have been in had the breach not occurred." This remedy is straightforward and quantifiable, making it a common choice in legal disputes.Equitable Relief: On the other hand, equitable relief involves non-monetary solutions, such as injunctions or specific performance. Jane Smith, a seasoned attorney, explains, "Equitable relief is about fairness and justice, ensuring that the wronged party receives a remedy that truly addresses their unique situation." This type of relief is often sought when monetary compensation is insufficient to rectify the harm done.Understanding the difference between damages and equitable relief is essential for anyone navigating legal challenges. Whether seeking financial compensation or a more tailored solution, knowing your options can make all the difference. Subscribe now to stay informed on legal insights and updates.TakeawaysUnderstanding remedies is crucial for delivering tangible outcomes for clients.Legal remedies primarily involve monetary damages, while equitable remedies focus on fairness and justice.Expectation damages aim to put the plaintiff in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed.Punitive damages serve to punish egregious conduct and deter future wrongdoing.Equitable remedies are discretionary and not granted as a matter of right.Specific performance compels a party to fulfill their contractual obligations as promised.Injunctions can prevent harm and are a powerful tool in equity.Combining legal and equitable claims can provide a comprehensive approach to litigation.The burden of proof for equitable relief is higher than for legal claims.Managing client expectations about remedies is essential for effective legal practice.law of remedies, legal remedies, equitable remedies, damages, specific performance, injunctions, contract law, punitive damages, historical context, law vs equity

This conversation delves into the complexities of property law, specifically focusing on covenants and servitudes. The discussion covers the definitions, historical context, and key differences between real covenants and equitable servitudes. It outlines the essential elements required for enforceability, the implications of public policy, and the historical misuse of covenants for racial discrimination. The conversation concludes with practical advice for analyzing legal problems related to land use restrictions, emphasizing the importance of understanding the balance between private agreements and public interest.In the world of property law, real covenants and equitable servitudes play a crucial role in shaping land use and ownership rights. Imagine buying a piece of land only to discover hidden restrictions that dictate how you can use it. This blog post unravels the complexities of these legal concepts, ensuring you're well-informed before making property decisions.Understanding Real Covenants: Real covenants are promises that run with the land, binding not just the original parties but also future owners. These covenants can dictate everything from building heights to the types of activities allowed on the property. For instance, a real covenant might restrict commercial activities in a residential neighborhood, preserving its character and tranquility.Exploring Equitable Servitudes: Equitable servitudes, on the other hand, are similar to real covenants but are enforced in equity rather than law. They often arise in situations where a formal covenant might not exist, yet the intent to restrict land use is clear. A classic example is a neighborhood agreement to maintain a uniform aesthetic, ensuring property values remain stable.Key Differences and Legal Implications: While both real covenants and equitable servitudes aim to control land use, their enforcement mechanisms differ. Real covenants are typically enforced through legal action, whereas equitable servitudes rely on equitable remedies. Understanding these distinctions is vital for property owners and developers to navigate potential legal challenges effectively.Real covenants and equitable servitudes are powerful tools in property law, shaping the landscape of land use and ownership. Whether you're a homeowner, developer, or legal professional, grasping these concepts is essential for making informed decisions.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – A The moral of the equitable grading story is that students get a grade for not doing any work while school districts flout empty numbers to make themselves look good.

Walk & Roll to School: The Positive Environmental and Health Impacts Guests: Stephen Heiny, research associate, Highway Safety Research Center, University of North Carolina (UNC), and Ishaa Gadkari, State Physical Activity Coordinator, RI Department of Health - Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). In 1969, 48 percent of students in grades K-8 walked or rode a bike to school. In 2017, only 11 percent of students in grades K-8 eight walked or rode bikes to school. Research studies identify safety concerns as the primary reason for the decrease. Safety considerations include traffic volume and speed, sidewalk and crosswalk infrastructure, incidents of crime and levels of policing. In this episode, we talk about how to redesign community environments in ways that support safe routes to school and events like the National Walk & Roll to School Day, an annual October event. We also discuss the environmental and health benefits of walking to school. Stephen Heiny joins us from the Highway Safety Research Center. He focuses on youth active travel safety, Vision Zero and the Safe System approach, supporting safety efforts in North Carolina and across the United States. He evaluates speed reduction countermeasures, provides technical assistance for Safe Routes to School programs and supports the annual Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day events. Ishaa Gadkari joins us from the RI Department of Health. As the State Physical Activity Coordinator, she directs the Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). Ishaa specializes in projects related to the built environment, active transportation and physical activity. She is passionate about walkable cities and environments, public transportation and health policy.

In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregating school children by race was unconstitutional. As a result, districts across America spent the rest of the century integrating schools.In Portland, though, segregation is back in vogue. A group called Albina Vision Trust began promoting the idea of a Center for Black Student Excellence (CBSE) in the summer of 2020 and persuaded the Portland Public School Board (PPS) to set aside $60 million for that concept in its $1 billion construction bond that voters approved a few months later.Five years later, none of the $60 million has been spent because advocates have never been able to explain how one single building would advance Black excellence in a district serving more than 40,000 students spread over 152 square miles. A recent Oregonian editorial asked the same question, asking “how this center will finally help the district advance student achievement.”Nonetheless, the PPS Board has announced a plan to buy a new building in North Portland for the CBSE. No details are available, but the purchase will be discussed by the Board at its next meeting on September 9.In the famous 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. School Board of Topeka, Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote for a unanimous Court that, “in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal' has no place.” But PPS no longer cares about equality. The new goal is “equity.” Just don't ask them to explain it.

It's becoming increasingly common for me to work with therapy practice owners who are the primary breadwinner and/or a female in a hetero relationship. While this shift in dynamics is not only familiar to be, and a positive step towards gender equality, it can also bring its own set of challenges and complexities. Relationships are challenging anyway, but when you add the layer of one person earning the Lionshare of the household income, honest and open communication about responsibilities, expectations, and goals between both partners becomes even more important. Another breadwinning therapist, Maegan Megginson, joins me today to help discuss being the female breadwinner and provide an additional behind-the-scenes perspective on how a couple might navigate a relationship where partners contribute differently. Navigating Roles & Responsibilities in a Relationship Where One Person Earns More (00:03:15) Navigating Unequal Financial Responsibilities in Relationships (00:17:08) Imbalanced Financial Contributions in Romantic Partnerships (00:19:49) Recognizing the Richness of Non-Monetary Contributions (00:30:26) Imbalance in Relationship Responsibilities: Causes and Solutions (00:41:01) Equitable Dynamics in Breadwinning Relationships (00:41:01) Navigating Relationship Dynamics as Breadwinner (00:41:39) Financial Equity and Communication in Relationships (00:41:39) Navigating Financial Management as the Primary Earner Recognizing Non-Monetary Contributions in Relationships Acknowledging both financial and non-financial contributions helps to create a sense of equity and balance in the relationship. It reinforces the idea that each partner's role is valued and important, regardless of who earns more money. Even if one partner is the main breadwinner, it's crucial to share responsibilities in other aspects of the relationship, such as household chores, childcare, and decision-making. This helps to create a sense of equality and balance in the partnership. (00:31:02) "I think when two people have explicitly negotiated, here's who's going to make the money, and here's what the other person's going to be doing. That's healthy, right? That's strong. That's solid." - Maegan Megginson Guiding Your Relationship to Feel More Equitable: Begin having conversations with your partner about financial AND non-financial, much appreciated contributions to the relationship aiming for both partners to feel valued, heard, and respected for their contributions. If you find yourself shouldering the emotional and/or financial burden, acknowledge this imbalance and address it with your partner. Avoid staying in a situation that is draining you. If you've unexpectedly become the breadwinner, view it as an opportunity to learn new financial skills. Take the initiative to educate yourself on managing money effectively for your household. Remember that financial contributions are just one aspect of the relationship. Acknowledge and appreciate all forms of contributions, including non-monetary ones that support the healthy function of your household. Interested in working with Linzy?

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this uplifting episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Hensley and Raina welcome Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services and a seasoned expert in divorce mediation. As a powerful continuation of our Family Court Series, this episode offers listeners a beacon of hope—clear, compassionate alternatives to conventional court separation and custody disputes.Joe brings both personal insight and profound expertise to this conversation. Inspired by his own experience as a child of divorce who witnessed the emotionally devastating effects of lawyer-driven litigation, Joe's mission is rooted in preventing similar trauma from impacting other families. With over 17 years of private mediation practice under his belt—and an MBA in finance, plus training from prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, and Northwestern—he combines emotional intelligence and financial savviness to guide couples toward fair, collaborative outcomes.One of the most compelling parts of the discussion centers on the "interest-based negotiation" model Joe champions—an approach that shifts focus from entrenched positions to underlying needs and shared goals. Joe explains how mediation fosters "win-win" agreements and dramatically reduces costs and emotional damage compared to traditional litigation, which he notes can reach as high as $200,000—the equivalent of a four-year college education.This episode also shines a spotlight on Joe's pioneering role in virtual mediation—a service he launched in 2011, well before many embraced remote alternatives during the pandemic. His practices empower families across numerous states (California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington State) to engage in thoughtful, structured mediation from any location.Throughout the episode, Joe extends tangible resources: from free courses, helpful blogs, and consultation options available through Equitable Mediation, to advice on designing “roommate agreements” when post-divorce couples find it necessary to continue co-habitating for financial or logistical reasons. This episode explores why mediators aren't just facilitators—they're peace architects, helping couples untangle complex emotional and financial decisions in ways that protect children, relationships, and dignity.Why This Episode Matters for Our ListenersOffers a Practical Alternative to LitigationThrough Joe's personal journey and his data-backed approach, listeners can discover a kinder, more constructive path out of marriage or parent-child tension that preserves both stability and civility.Reduces Financial and Emotional TollAs Joe highlights, mediation not only lowers the fiscal burden of divorce but also shields families—especially children—from the trauma of court conflict.Accessible Anywhere, AnytimeJoe's virtual-first model makes mediation accessible regardless of geography, fitting seamlessly into modern, busy lives.Provides Real-World Tools and EmpowermentFrom negotiation frameworks to free educational content and flexible agreements, this episode equips listeners with knowledge, hope, and actionable steps.Episode 14 isn't just another episode—it's a lifeline for families navigating the storm of separation. Joe Dillon will show you that healing, fairness, and hope are possible—even when the path seems steep. Mediation isn't just a process; it's a bridge to a new chapter defined by cooperation and compassion.You can find Joe and all his services at https://www.equitablemediation.com/Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Send us a textWhat does true fairness look like in professional certification? Carrie Abner, Vice President of ICF Credentialing, pulls back the curtain on a groundbreaking initiative that's transforming how coaches around the world become certified.Four years ago, amid growing social conversations about equity, ICF leadership asked themselves a challenging question: were they truly living their values when it came to fairness in their credentialing process? This moment of reflection sparked a comprehensive equity assessment that would examine every aspect of how coaches earn their ICF credentials. The project, completed in October 2024, reveals both courage and commitment from an organization willing to look critically at its own practices.Working collaboratively with ICF's DEIB team and an academic researcher specializing in diversity, Abner's team developed sophisticated methods to collect data, listen to stakeholders, and identify potential barriers in their processes. What they discovered led to meaningful changes: expanded assessor diversity to match growth in global markets, enhanced exam accommodations that benefit all candidates, and free exam tutorials that demystify the testing experience. Perhaps most importantly, they established ongoing feedback mechanisms that ensure continuous improvement."Most things that matter take courage," Abner notes, reflecting on the vulnerability required to examine established systems for hidden biases. The assessment represents more than just procedural tweaks—it's a fundamental shift in how ICF approaches credentialing, balancing rigorous standards with accessibility and cultural awareness.For coaches preparing for ICF credentials, these changes mean a more equitable path to certification. For the coaching profession as a whole, ICF's work demonstrates how organizations can move beyond good intentions to create measurable improvements in fairness and inclusion.Share your experience with ICF's credentialing process—they're listening and using your feedback to drive positive change.

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I connected with Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit, to explore how cutting-edge technology is being used not to disrupt markets or chase margins, but to deliver real, measurable social impact. AidKit is a public benefit corporation building infrastructure that helps vulnerable communities access aid quickly, securely, and with dignity. While many tech conversations orbit around scale and efficiency, Brittany brings a different kind of energy, one grounded in values, user empathy, and purpose-built innovation. She shared how AidKit's journey began as a nonprofit initiative during the pandemic, evolved into a for-profit startup to attract engineering talent, and most recently achieved B Corp certification, reinforcing its long-term commitment to balancing people, planet, and profit. We discussed what dignity and equity look like in real-world software experiences, and how user-centric design can transform burdensome forms and gatekeeping processes into streamlined, accessible interfaces that actually work for people in need. Aidkit doesn't stop at technology. Their model also includes multilingual support, advisory councils made up of program beneficiaries, and robust fraud prevention tools that protect both funds and privacy. One of the standout takeaways was how Brittany views trust and transparency as core features, not afterthoughts. Governments rely on Aidkit to deliver programs with high stakes and public scrutiny, and that trust is earned through a combination of technical competence, clear communication, and reliable systems. AidKit is already supporting over 200 agencies and nonprofits, has processed more than half a million applications, and recently surpassed 330 million dollars in aid disbursements, including nine million dollars in a single week. This conversation is not just about scaling a social impact startup. It is about leading with conviction, refusing to compromise mission for growth, and using the best of what technology offers to serve communities with care. How can your tech strategy support social outcomes without losing sight of the people it's built for?
