With 37 verdicts of more than a million dollars, few lawyers in America can match the track record of success of New York trial lawyer Judy Livingston.  What's more, many of Judy's verdicts came at a time when few women were trial lawyers.  Join Ben and Rahul for their in-depth interview with Judy in which they explore the sources of the courage and fortitude that fueled her success.  Judy shares accounts of her early trial practice, where she literally had to create a new mold as a woman in the courtroom.  Judy discusses her approach to trying complex medical malpractice cases and connecting with a jury.  She talks about juggling life and the demands of raising a family with a husband who, like her, is a renowned trial lawyer.  If you are a trial lawyer or aspire to be, there is no way you can listen to this episode without feeling inspired.  About Judy LivingstonTop Personal Injury Attorneys | Kramer Dillof Livingston & Moore (kdlm.com) Judith A.

In life, many of us may face the challenge of a loved one being diagnosed with a life-changing disease. Unfortunately, it happens all the time. How do you handle it? My dad had Alzheimer's disease. It was a slow progression in the beginning, but when he needed to go into assisted living and eventually into a group home, I wasn't sure how we would pay for it. It was so expensive, and I thought he would run through his money fast before I had to dip it into my pocket. What Happens When Your Spouse or Parent Has a Life-Changing Disease? On today's show of Hilary Topper on Air, Diana Lattanzio, partner at The Russo Law Group, talks with us about how to deal with situations like the one above. Diana experienced this both with her grandfather and with her father, who currently has Parkinson's disease. Diana discusses what the process is to apply for Medicaid to meet his ongoing needs. She also talks about how families can proactively plan for the legal aspects of long-term care, considering the potential impact of a life-changing diagnosis. Diana Lattanzio also answers the following questions: What key advice do you have for individuals who find themselves suddenly responsible for making important legal decisions on behalf of a loved one with a serious medical condition? In your experience, what are common misconceptions about Elder Law, and how can individuals better understand the support it provides? Could you share a success story or case that highlights the positive impact of proper legal planning in the face of life-changing health challenges?

She appreciated the sacrifices they made coming to America for a better life, together with their wisdom and the life lessons they imparted to the rest of the family. When Diana's grandfather required home care, Diana's mother provided it. Diana saw firsthand the challenges caregivers and elders face and vowed to dedicate her career to helping families during times of crisis. She is committed to minimizing the stress her clients are going through while providing sound legal advice to protect their assets against the high cost of long-term care.

To celebrate the 100th episode of the She Believed She Could podcast, Allison is joined by her husband Brian Walsh, and dear friend Brian Schweitzer. In today's episode, they kick off a new season, take a walk down memory lane and share valuable advice on how they've built their lives and businesses together. And while we've spotlighted amazing women over the last 4 seasons, this episode is the first of many where we will welcome men to the show! Enjoy!Memorable Moments:“I think there have definitely been pivotal moments for me at certain times in which I can actually pinpoint and say, If I had not made those decisions, I would not be here now.”“Together, we're both trying to build our businesses. We're both trying to find time to invest in ourselves, to support our kids, and support each other and everything that's happening in our lives.”“I've learned that at different stages and phases of life and your career and family and everything – you have to be okay with asking for support. There's this misconception that you have to do it alone, you've got to make it and figure it out the hard way. You don't, there's a lot of amazing people that want to support you, your dreams, and your goals.”“My biggest piece of business advice, it's the ABCs. Who is your attorney? Who is your banker? And who is your CPA? If you know those three, you have contact with them, and they're involved in the operation of your business, I think your business is going to do that much better.”“I'm very protective of who I allow into this inner circle because I realize the influence that people can have over you.”About Brian Walsh:Brian M.

Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine is putting one of its closest partners, China, in a difficult position. Just weeks before the conflict began, China and Russia announced a new partnership without limits that was seen as a shared bulwark against pressure by the United States and its allies. But Russia's choice to attack its neighbor Ukraine is an awkward tension with China's long-standing position against the use of force between states, and some cracks may be showing in the new relationship as China has so far not proven willing to come as wholeheartedly to Russia's support as its pre-war declaration might have suggested.To better understand how the war in Ukraine is impacting China's strategy toward the rest of the world, Scott R. Anderson sat down with two legal experts: Dr. Patricia Kim, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution who specializes in China policy, and Professor Julian Ku, a professor at Hofstra University School of Law who has studied China's approach to the international system. They discussed the new relationship between China and Russia, China's role in the Ukraine conflict and what lessons it is taking away from the Western response, including for its own interests in Taiwan.

Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei, is free, having been put on a flight from Canada back to her native China. Moments later, two Canadians held in China were also freed and put on flights back to Canada in what many are describing as hostage diplomacy by the People's Republic of China. The United States had indicted Wanzhou and Huawei for bank fraud but dropped the indictment against her at least, having reached a deferred prosecution agreement with her in which she gave statements that may be used against Huawei. To go over all of the angles, Benjamin Wittes sat down with Pete Strzok, former deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI; Julian Ku, a professor of law at Hofstra University School of Law; and Leah West of Carleton University in Canada.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Trusts can be utilized for a myriad of reasons including avoiding probate and protecting assets from the cost of long term care. They can also be used to protect a loved one who has special needs. It is a common misconception that trusts are “for rich people”. “Rich” is, of course, a relative term, but you do not have to be financially “rich” for a trust to be helpful in your estate plan. Frank will discuss the topic trusts and answer common questions such as: What is a living trust? What’s the difference between a revocable and irrevocable living trust and when should each be used? How do living trusts work? How can you determine if you need a living trust to protect a loved one with special needs?

Episode 12 is with Attorney Debra Rahmin Silberstein, Partner at Burns & Levinson LLP in Boston. Attorney Silberstein specializes in trusts and estates, tax-related matters and elder law planning. Debra has extensive experience working with families where mental health planning is a priority and uses creative techniques to assist clients in reaching their goals.

Debra has over twenty-five years of legal experience and is an active member of the Massachusetts Bar Association and was the 2018 recipient of the Powley Elder Law Award. Today she is going to be talking with us about legal remedies for families coping with long term mental health issues. She is going to speak about alternatives to guardianship as well as other topics. This is part 2 of two podcasts focused on legal remedies in mental health. If you want to learn more about legal remedies that can be used during crises, please listen to Part 1 with Lisa Cukier. Debra will be telling us more about how to integrate into long term mental health planning the use of a durable power of attorney’s, health care proxies, psychiatric advanced directives and discretionary trusts with incentives. Three main talking points: 1. A brief overview of what guardianship is and who the people are who seek this legal intervention. We will also discuss some of the challenges and limitations of guardianship. 2. What alternatives to guardianship exist and in most instances are preferable? Alternatives such as DPOA’s (or durable powers of attorney), healthcare proxies and incentivized trusts. We will also discuss the importance of using a team approach when accessing any of these legal remedies. 3. PAD’s or psychiatric advanced directives. What they are, why everyone with a mental health issue needs one, and how they are written. Virgil and Debra also talk more about the DPAs and HCPs. These are critical tools, and aside from steps we one take to minimize “revocation” in a crisis, families should know who should serve in these roles, how to use of teams (or committees), family members and social workers etc.

In this episode of Intercross the Podcast, ICRC in Washington’s Deputy Legal Advisor, Andrea Harrison, sits down with three naval warfare experts on why we should be talking about the rules that govern conflict at sea. Professor Julian Ku, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Faculty Director of International Programs at Hofstra University School of Law, Lt Commander Peter Barker of the British Royal Navy and Associate Director for the Law of Coalition Warfare at the Stockton Center for the study of International Law, and Lt Colonel Jeffrey Biller of the U.S. Air Force and military professor at the U.S. Naval War College discuss the looming “hotspots” for naval conflict, the vulnerability of shipwrecked sailors, and how the cyber domain is driving an entirely new set of issues for conduct of naval warfare. Much has changed since the Geneva Conventions were written in 1949 - Where are the most realistic possibilities for a conflict that will be governed by the Second Geneva Convention? What happens when the responsibility to take “all possible measures” to find shipwrecked sailors creates a risk of detection out at sea? Can a vessel be shipwrecked purely through cyber means? Hosted by Andrea Harrison.

The Chinese Supreme People’s Court and the Chinese government have denounced the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague’s recent ruling. According to The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provisions, island-building activity and territorial claims in the South China Sea violated international and environmental law. Was China bound by this ruling, although China objects to The Hague Arbitration Court’s jurisdiction, and claims that consent was not given? When international law, agreements, and norms are summarily voided by a losing nation, what should be the international legal and political response? Regarding international agreements specifically, does this case provide warnings for signatories to treaties and agreements? Are there lessons for the United States in the consideration of potential reservations, opt-outs, alternate venues, or waivers, and whether they were given proper regard by the Court? -- Featuring: Prof. James Kraska, Howard S. Levie Professor in the Stockton Center for the Study of International Law at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island and Prof. Julian Ku, Maurice A. Deane Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law and Faculty Director of International Programs, Hofstra University School of Law.

Taming Globalization discusses the challenge to American constitutional law that arises out of our increasingly global society. The creation of dozens of international institutions, from the International Court of Justice to border commissions to the World Trade Organization, has given rise to a legal network that poses a challenge for American constitutional law. In response to this challenge, Julian Ku and John Yoo propose that domestic actors make use of "mediating devices" such as non-self-execution of treaties, recognition of the President’s authority to interpret international law, and a reliance on state implementation of international law and agreements. These devices, the authors argue, will help us resolve the legal challenges of globalization in a way that minimizes both constitutional and international difficulties. -- Julian Ku, a professor at Hofstra University School of Law, is joined by critical commenter Martin Flaherty, the Leitner Family Professor of Law and Co-Founding Director of the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School, to discuss the book.

Doug welcomes Eric Lane, Distinguished Professor of Public Law and Public Service at Hofstra University School of Law, to discuss his recently published book “The Genius of America: How the Constitution Saved Our Country and Why It Can Again.”
