This week, we have a special guest from the University of Florida Levin College of Law—Christopher D. Hampson. Our topic is a good one: the cancellation of debt. To that end, Chris and I discussed his forthcoming article tentatively entitled Law and the Jubilee Tradition. Some of the things we spoke about was the jubilee tradition in the Old Testament text, the many ways that tradition connects with the history of American society, his approach based on a Rawlsian ideal of practical reason, principle of equality undergirding his project, and more. Chris is a scholar of bankruptcy, insolvency, and the ethics of debt. His research focuses on how legal institutions can best serve our shared values during times of financial distress. Chris served as a law clerk for Judge Richard A. Posner on the Seventh Circuit in Chicago and practiced law at a number of promient law firms in Miami and Boston. Full bio and CV here.

Can social media addiction in children be curbed through legislation? Well, New York recently passed a law on "addictive" social media feeds for children, but some researchers are questioning what that actually means and how effectively these laws can be implemented. The laws come on the back of growing concerns over the effects of social media on the mental health of young people. From 2025, the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act will require social media platforms and app stores to seek parental consent before children under 18 use apps with "addictive feeds", a groundbreaking attempt to regulate algorithmic recommendations. Meanwhile, the New York Child Data Protection Act will limit the information app providers collect about their users. On this episode of Morning Shot, Derek Bambauer, Irving Cypen Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law shares his insights on the challenges behind the execution of the latest social media laws and how effective they will be.

How did the Supreme Court become so powerful? Dr. Ben Johnson contends that a "little-known rule change" and the Court's unkept promise in 1928 are to blame.Dr. Johnson is an associate professor of law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He sat down with Robert to talk about the Court's question-selection process and how being able to "cherry-pick" legal questions has "transform[ed] the Court from a tribunal deciding cases into a super-legislator with little accountability."Dr. Johnson has written on this topic in the Columbia Law Review and for The Atlantic.Dr. Johnson and Robert also discussed originalism and how the current conservative justices on the Court have been unfaithful to the "history and tradition" approach they so frequently espouse.Thank you for listening.

There's an ever-growing queue of cases concerning Donald Trump headed for the Supreme Court that threaten to further dent the legitimacy of an institution that has tumbled in the public's estimation in the last few years. This week's show examines some of the interlocking issues raising the already sky-high stakes at One, First Street. First, Dahlia Lithwick kicks off the show with an update from Slate's Law of Trump chief correspondent Jeremy Stahl about arguments in Trump's immunity appeal at the DC Circuit Court this week. Next, we turn to a conversation with Professor Ben Johnson, an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He recently wrote about the very long history of how the Supreme Court granted itself vast power to shape the law and policy by picking and choosing not only which cases it would hear, but also which questions it would answer when it hears those cases. Next week's arguments in Loper Bright Enterprises v Raimundo are a case in point, and the question of questions also poses a conundrum for a court in a downward legitimacy spiral, as a parade of Trump cases head toward the High Court. In this week's Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Slate's Jeremy Stahl to discuss the bread and circus of closing arguments in the Trump Organization civil fraud trial in New York, and the next phase of litigation involving the former President and E Jean Carroll that gets underway next week.

On July 4, a federal judge in Louisiana issued one of the most dramatic First Amendment rulings in recent memory. The case involves a variety of individuals, organizations, and conservative state governments who accuse the Biden administration of unconstitutional "jawboning”—that is, informally pressuring social media companies to censor speech, especially about controversial topics like COVID vaccines and election integrity.Describing the allegations as the "most massive attack against free speech in United States' history," Judge Terry Doughty enjoined by name dozens of high-level Biden administration officials, and potentially thousands more unnamed government employees, from communicating with social media companies about taking down First Amendment-protected user content.If the opinion stands, it will have a dramatic effect on the ability of the government to communicate with social media platforms, a practice that administrations of both parties have engaged in for years. Earlier this week, Judge Doughty rejected a motion from the government to stay the injunction pending appeal; the government has since asked the Fifth Circuit to do so instead and, in a sign of how seriously it is taking the ruling, has signaled that it may ask the Supreme Court to step in if the Fifth Circuit does not.On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, our series on the information ecosystem, Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke to two of the leading experts on the government's relationship with social media platforms to work through the implications of this decision. Derek Bambauer is the Irving Cypen Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and is the author of an influential law review article on jawboning in the context of internet speech. Jeff Kosseff is an associate professor of cybersecurity law in the United States Naval Academy and a Lawfare contributing editor and the author of numerous books and articles about online speech issues.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Richard Culbertson is a highly experienced Social Security attorney with over 20 years of experience in the field, based in Daytona and Orlando, Florida. He is a skilled and dedicated advocate known for his compassionate approach and personalized attention to clients. Mr. Culbertson has helped clients with a wide range of Social Security issues, including disability benefits, retirement benefits, and survivor benefits. Mr. Culbertson graduated from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 1999 and is a National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) member. He is admitted to practice law in Florida before the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. In addition to his legal work, Mr. Culbertson is an active member of his local community, volunteering with non-profit organizations and serving on the board of directors. Key takeaways from this episode: Medical evidence is necessary for disability cases, so Culbertson established a separate agency to assist clients with health insurance coverage. The three main possibilities for health insurance coverage are Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Medicare is the gold standard and covers those 65 and older or those with Social Security Disability Insurance for 24 consecutive months. Medicaid is a welfare program for low-income individuals, but the choice of doctors is limited. The ACA offers coverage depending on the financial situation and eligibility criteria. Private insurance companies may have their requirements in the group policy, such as requiring a person to get Medicare, which could lead to issues with coverage and payments. Veterans may not have health insurance coverage through the VA, which could lead to problems with Medicare coverage. Coordination of benefits is essential, as it determines who pays first and who pays second and having multiple types of coverage can be beneficial in covering high medical expenses. Medicare has different parts, including Parts A and B, which cover hospital and medical insurance. Part C, or Advantage programs, are offered by private insurance companies and provide additional coverage beyond what Parts A and B cover. Part D covers prescription drug costs, and supplements are available to cover costs not covered by Parts A and B. Supplements become available to those aged 65 or older, and insurance companies cannot deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

The bill passed both the Florida House and Senate before being signed into law by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in June 2020, making Florida the first state to have a July 1, 2021 effective date and leading the way toward establishing important NIL rights for all college athletes across the United States. Heitner has continued to be an advocate for athlete rights and worked on behalf of numerous athletes and brands, including Gatorade, INFLCR, Marketpryce, and Icon Source, in the NIL space. www.behindthedish.us #podcast #legal #ncaa #nil #legaladvice #athletes #mgfmarshalls #utah #utahtech #usc #stanford #baseball #summer #summerbaseball #gatesworldseries #baseballplayers

90: Can Fractional Leadership Transform Your Nonprofit? (Rocky Cabagnot) SUMMARYOne of the key challenges in nonprofit management is the identification, recruitment and retention of top-tier talent. This challenge is compounded by budgetary realities that limit your ability to secure individuals with the skills and experience your organization needs, and as a result, critical hiring offers are often made to “B players” or emerging talent that can (hopefully) grow into the role. Are there other ways to approach this dilemma? That’s exactly what Rocky Cabagnot and I discuss in episode #90 of the Path Podcast. Rocky is an attorney who specializes in the fractional leadership, and offers several ideas and approaches that will help you look at talent development in a whole new way. What makes Rocky’s insight even more valuable is that while he is a practicing attorney, he’s also served as a full-time executive director and understands the management challenges of talent development and having sufficient expertise on staff to address increasingly complex issues as a nonprofit leader. ABOUT ROCKYRocky M. Cabagnot is an Attorney at Hull & Chandler P.A. in Charlotte, NC. Rocky’s practice includes providing direct legal services to nonprofits and public charities, advising these entities on a wide range of legal issues. In the past year, Rocky has branched out his practice offering his clients fractional general counsel services. Prior to joining Hull & Chandler, Rocky served as the Executive Director of the Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency, a multi-million dollar 501 (c)(3) public charity that administered Head Start/Early Head Start, affordable childcare, and family self-sufficiency programs (Community Services Block Grant) throughout six counties in North Carolina. For five years he served as a clinical law professor at an ABA accredited law school in Charlotte, NC where he developed and supervised the law school’s Community Economic Development Clinic, providing pro bono legal services to nonprofits and community groups throughout the Charlotte metro region.

This episode features the second half of a conversation with Associate Professor Peter Molk who teaches business law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and who recently published in the U.C. Davis Law Review a thought-provoking article entitled Protecting LLC Owners While Preserving LLC Flexibility. In the previous episode we discuss more generally the pros and cons of LLC contractual freedom for sophisticated versus unsophisticated owners. In this episode we focus on Professor Molk’s concept of the accredited LLC investor as a means of distinguishing between those LLCs that should or shouldn’t be permitted to waive standard governance protections typically mandated in business corporation statutes.
This episode features Part One of a two-part conversation with Associate Professor Peter Molk who teaches business law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and who recently published in the U.C. Davis Law Review a thought-provoking article entitled Protecting LLC Owners While Preserving LLC Flexibility in which he addresses the tension between, on the one hand, LLC freedom-of-contract which functions well with sophisticated owners and, on the other hand, the need for mandatory rules to avoid the problems and inefficiencies freedom-of-contract can generate with LLCs populated by unsophisticated owners. The article is available on SSRN here.

Technological transformations are raising a host of legal and economic issues that are keeping competition law academics very busy! But are there risks to academic independence in the era of big tech? And are they any different to the experience with big oil, big tobacco, big pharma? Recently there has been publicity surrounding the extent to which large tech companies are funding academic research that supports their policy and legal objectives. Some are concerned that this threatens the integrity and value of the academic enterprise, particularly when there is non-disclosure of funding or potential conflicts of interest. Others are more accommodating, conscious of the impact of cut backs in government funding for research and keen to see greater engagement between universities and private enterprise. In this episode of Competition Lore, we hear from one of the antitrust scholars in the thick of the debate. Professor Daniel Sokol is from the University of Florida Levin College of Law and is also an attorney at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a client of which is Google. Danny shares his thoughts on being implicated personally in the campaign against so-called “Google Academics” and we talk about what it means to be a modern day scholar with a range of roles inside and outside of academia. Here is a sample of Danny’s recent work in relation to antitrust issues and big tech: The Cambridge Handbook of Antitrust, Intellectual Property, and High Tech, 2017 Understanding Online Markets and Antitrust Analysis, 2017 (with Jingyuan Mua) Responding to Antitrust and Information Technology, 2017 Does Antitrust Have a Role to Play in Regulating Big Data?, 2016 (with Roisin Comerford) The Broader Implications of Merger Remedies in High Technology Markets, 2014 The Google Transparency Project report referred in the episode can be found here. Featuring regular cut-through interviews with leading thinkers, movers and shakers, Competition Lore is a podcast series that engages us all in a debate about the transformative potential and risks of digitalised competition. Join Caron Beaton-Wells, Professor in Competition Law at the University of Melbourne, to tackle what it means to participate as a competitor, consumer or citizen in a digital economy and society. Competition Lore is produced by Written & Recorded.

The 2017-2018 Constitution Revision Commission (CRC) is the third of its kind in Florida history. In this episode of The Florida Bar Podcast, host Christine Bilbrey talks to Mary Adkins, author of the book Making Modern Florida: How the Spirit of Reform Shaped a New Constitution (University Press of Florida, 2016). Professor Adkins has researched the history of the 1968 Florida Constitution and its revisions.

Mary Adkins is the director of Legal Writing and Appellate Advocacy and a Master Legal Skills Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
This spring marks the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council. In Lucas, a 5-4 Court majority held that a state law can effect a "regulatory taking" and trigger inverse condemnation requirements if it deprives an owner of all viable uses of his land. Join our panel to hear a discussion of questions such as: Did Lucas mark a major change in Supreme Court regulatory takings doctrine? Was the decision about right, or did it go too far or not far enough? Is Lucas still relevant to regulatory takings law today, and what are the chances that the decision might be reconsidered or extended? -- Featuring: James S. Burling, Vice President of Litigation, Pacific Legal Foundation; Professor Eric R. Claeys, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School Professor and Michael A. Wolf, Professor of Law, Richard E. Nelson Chair in Local Government, University of Florida Levin College of Law.
Although electronic discovery is increasingly important for court lawyers, only about 30 law schools nationwide offer e-discovery courses. To address the gap, Catalyst, an e-discovery service provider based out of Denver, has developed a practicum that aims to give law students the necessary experience to enter the workforce with adequate fundamental knowledge. So how does the program work and why is it important for future lawyers? In this episode of Digital Detectives, Sharon Nelson and John Simek interview Bill Hamilton, executive director of the UF E-Discovery Project at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, about their use of the Catalyst practicum. They discuss the curriculum’s components, the program’s pedagogical design, and what this means for the future of e-discovery education in law schools. Topics include: What a practicum is Digital evidence and students using e-discovery software Instructional videos, structured exercises, and quizzes with feedback Catalyst’s interest in education and their cloud-based platform Testing to strengthen retrieval capacity rather than as an assessment tool Applying the case law to concrete situations Grading process: low stakes testing and evaluation The need for law schools to provide more practical training

This episode is presented by The United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corp. In the United States federal courts, there are too many cases and too few judges. But the situation would be much worse if it were not for the court staff, which includes attorneys that serve as law clerks for the court or individual judges. Vail Gardner, a 1997 graduate of the University of Florida Levin College of Law, served the Middle District of North Carolina for six years as a law clerk. In this episode, she describes the various types of federal law clerks, including each position's pros and cons. Vail was a pro se clerk, which means she worked directly for the district court as opposed to an individual judge. Her work focused exclusively on disposing of social security disability appeals from the Social Security Administration. We'll hear about her role in drafting the court's opinions, as well as her current challenge: reentering law practice after taking time off for her family. This episode is hosted by Kimber Russell, an account executive for Planet Depos. It is sponsored by Barbri and Top-Law-Schools.com.
