This Day in Legal History: Thurgood Marshall DiesOn January 24, 1993, the United States lost one of its most influential legal figures, retired Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. His death in Bethesda, Maryland, marked the end of an era in American jurisprudence. Born on July 2, 1908, in Baltimore, Maryland, Marshall's journey to becoming the first African American Supreme Court Justice was paved with groundbreaking legal battles and an unwavering commitment to civil rights.Before his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1967 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Marshall had already made a significant impact as a lawyer. He served as the chief counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), where he strategized and won a series of critical court cases that chipped away at the legal foundations of racial segregation. His most famous case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954, ended with the Supreme Court's unanimous decision declaring state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, effectively overturning the "separate but equal" doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson.During his tenure on the Supreme Court, Marshall became known for his passionate advocacy for individual rights and his opposition to the death penalty. His legal opinions, both majority and dissenting, reflected his deep-seated belief in equality and justice for all. He often stressed the importance of viewing the Constitution as a dynamic, living document, capable of adapting to changing societal needs and values.Marshall's impact extends beyond his legal victories; he paved the way for greater diversity in the legal profession and on the bench. His life and career remain a testament to the power of the law as a tool for social change and continue to inspire generations of lawyers, activists, and citizens.His death was not just the loss of a great legal mind but also the end of an era that saw significant strides in civil rights and social justice. As we remember Justice Thurgood Marshall on this day, his legacy serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and the enduring power of dedicated individuals to bring about change in society.Brown, Yale, and Columbia universities, along with Emory and Duke, have agreed to pay a total of $62 million to settle a lawsuit accusing them of favoring wealthy applicants, bringing the total settlements in the case to $118 million. This lawsuit, filed against several U.S. universities, alleges they conspired to restrict financial aid and violated a pledge to not consider students' financial status in admissions, effectively giving an advantage to wealthy students. The universities, including those that have settled, deny any wrongdoing. The settlements vary, with Yale and Emory paying $18.5 million each, Brown $19.5 million, and Columbia and Duke $24 million each. The lawsuit, still involving 10 other universities like Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania, is pending approval from U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly, who previously declined to dismiss the case in 2022.Brown, Yale, Columbia among latest to settle financial-aid lawsuit | ReutersGoogle has settled a patent infringement lawsuit with Singular Computing, averting a trial that was set to begin with closing arguments. The lawsuit, filed in 2019, sought $1.67 billion in damages, accusing Google of misusing Singular's computer-processing innovations in its artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Singular, founded by Joseph Bates, alleged that Google incorporated its technology into processing units used in various Google services like Google Search, Gmail, and Google Translate.The dispute centered around Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), introduced in 2016 to enhance AI capabilities in tasks like speech recognition and ad recommendation. Singular claimed that the second and third versions of these units, released in 2017 and 2018, infringed on its patents. According to the lawsuit, Bates shared his inventions with Google between 2010 and 2014, suggesting that Google's TPUs copied his technology.Internal emails revealed during the trial indicated Google's interest in Bates' ideas, with the company's now-chief scientist, Jeff Dean, acknowledging their potential utility. However, Google maintained that its employees who designed the TPUs had never met Bates and developed the technology independently, arguing that its tech was fundamentally different from what was described in Singular's patents.Details of the settlement have not been disclosed, and representatives from both Google and Singular have confirmed the settlement without providing further information. Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda expressed satisfaction with the resolution, emphasizing that Google did not violate Singular's patent rights.Google settles AI-related chip patent lawsuit that sought $1.67 bln | ReutersGoogle Settles AI Chip-Design Suit That Had Sought BillionsSpellbook, a Canada-based legal software company specializing in contract management, has secured $20 million in Series A funding, led by Montreal's Inovia Capital. Other investors include The Legaltech Fund, Bling Capital, and Thomson Reuters Ventures. The company's product, built on OpenAI's GPT-4, assists corporate and commercial lawyers with contract drafting and review by suggesting language and negotiation points.The legal AI sector is experiencing a surge in investment as startups introduce tools designed to integrate generative AI into legal processes. However, the market remains highly competitive with no clear leader yet emerging. Spellbook's CEO, Scott Stevenson, highlighted the company's focus on serving small to midsize law firms and solo practitioners, though it has also attracted larger firms and in-house legal teams.Spellbook's clientele includes diverse organizations such as Addleshaw Goddard, KMSC Law, Carbon Chemistry, and ATEM Capital. The company, initially named Rally at its inception in 2019, rebranded to Spellbook after a $10.9 million seed round in June 2023 and shifted focus from automating routine legal tasks to AI-driven contract management.The legal technology sector is witnessing increased investor interest, particularly since the advent of generative AI technologies. Other firms in the sector, such as Norm AI and Robin AI, have also recently raised substantial funding, indicating a growing trend in the investment and development of legal AI tools.Legal AI startup Spellbook raises $20 mln as sector draws more investments | ReutersThe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced new rules for deals involving special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), aiming to enhance investor protections and align these transactions more closely with traditional initial public offerings (IPOs). This regulatory change comes as SPACs, which surged in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as an alternative public listing method, have recently lost favor. The new rules revoke certain legal protections previously afforded to SPAC sponsors, making them more susceptible to lawsuits over exaggerated statements. These regulations also demand increased disclosures, particularly concerning forward-looking projections in the later stages of SPAC deals.By way of very brief background, a SPAC is an alternative to the traditional IPO process for a company seeking to go public. A SPAC is essentially a shell company that raises funds through an IPO with the sole intent of acquiring or merging with an existing private company, thereby taking that company public. Unlike traditional IPOs, where a company goes public based on its own assets and operations, a SPAC has no commercial operations and is created solely for the purpose of acquiring a private company. This process allows the target company to become publicly traded more quickly and with potentially less regulatory scrutiny than the traditional IPO route. Additionally, SPACs offer more certainty regarding valuation and financing compared to traditional IPOs.SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the need for robust investor protections, regardless of the method used for going public. The SEC's heightened scrutiny and macroeconomic factors like rising interest rates have already cooled the once-booming SPAC market. Major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America reduced their involvement in SPACs following the SEC's initial proposal of these changes.The SEC's new requirements include detailed disclosures from SPAC sponsors about potential conflicts of interest, compensation, and dilution. Companies targeted by SPACs must now register with the SEC and fulfill additional disclosure obligations before merging. Furthermore, these target companies are now jointly liable for the information shared with investors and must provide independently audited financial statements. The SEC's Republican Commissioner Mark Uyeda criticized the rules as overly burdensome, suggesting they might effectively end the SPAC market. The new regulations will take effect in over four months, with additional financial reporting and accounting requirements for SPAC transactions also being implemented.SEC Imposes New Rules on Blank-Check Deals as SPACs Fizzle (2) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This Day in Legal History: Great Britain Introduces an Income TaxOn January 9, 1799, a significant milestone was marked in the history of taxation with the introduction of Great Britain's first income tax. Initiated by British Prime Minister William Pitt, this tax was a revolutionary step in the country's fiscal policy. The context of its introduction was deeply rooted in the exigencies of war. In December 1798, Pitt announced the tax as a means to amass funds for the escalating war efforts against Napoleon Bonaparte, a critical juncture in European history.Pitt's income tax was not merely a financial mechanism but also a strategic tool, reflecting the gravity of the geopolitical situation at the time. It was a progressive tax, a concept relatively novel for its era, aiming to levy heavier taxes on the wealthier segments of society. This progressive nature marked a departure from the flat taxes commonly used, signifying an evolution in the understanding of equitable taxation.The tax, however, was short-lived in its initial form. In 1802, Henry Addington, Pitt's successor, repealed the tax. This repeal was a response to the temporary subsidence in hostilities. The peace was fleeting, and the return of conflict in the following year prompted Addington to reinstate the income tax. This on-and-off nature of the tax during these years mirrored the tumultuous period of the Napoleonic Wars.Significantly, the model of taxation that Addington implemented laid the groundwork for what would become the modern British income tax system. It set a precedent in tax structure and collection that has had a lasting impact. The evolution of this tax model reflects the interplay between fiscal policy and social priorities, a theme that has persisted through centuries of tax law development.Today, as we reflect on the introduction of Great Britain's first income tax, it serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of tax law and its deep entwinement with the broader socio-political landscape. The story of this tax is not just a tale of revenue collection; it's a narrative about war, peace, and the ever-evolving understanding of economic justice.In a 2024 report by Georgetown Law's Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession and the Thomson Reuters Institute, law firms are facing a challenging year due to various factors including client demand, staffing, and the rise of artificial intelligence. The report, analyzing trends since 2009, indicates a shift in the legal market towards a buyer's market for legal services. Despite a marginal increase in the overall average demand for legal services in the previous year, transactional work has seen a decline. This is significant as many firms relied on transactional practices, particularly in mergers and acquisitions, to boost revenue in the past decade.The report highlights that midsize law firms performed better than top-grossing firms in terms of demand growth. However, the legal sector can no longer depend solely on transactional work due to reduced client spending and evolving market conditions. Interestingly, counter-cyclical practices like litigation and bankruptcy experienced growth in demand, contrasting the slowdown in transactional demand.The survey revealed a 6% increase in billing rates on paper, but actual charges to clients and collection rates have decreased. Law firms are also grappling with rising overhead and direct expenses, not yet accounting for recent associate salary increases. In response to these financial pressures, law firms are adjusting their staffing strategies, with midsized firms increasing their associate numbers more than larger firms.Clients are increasingly seeking more affordable legal services, opting for lower-priced firms, reflecting a cost-conscious attitude. Additionally, the emergence of generative AI poses uncertainties for the legal industry. Its impact on staffing, efficiency, and profitability is still unclear, but it could lead to clients handling more legal work in-house or enhance the efficiency of legal services.The report's authors expect 2024 to be volatile, particularly as election years often bring unpredictability. This projection suggests that the legal industry may not experience stability for some time, indicating a period of significant change and adaptation for law firms.Law firms face 'volatile' 2024 amid demand, staffing and AI risks - report | ReutersGoogle is facing a significant patent infringement lawsuit brought by Singular Computing, which could potentially cost the tech giant up to $7 billion in damages. The lawsuit, set to be tried in a federal court in Boston, accuses Google of infringing patents held by computer scientist Joseph Bates, the founder of Singular Computing. Bates alleges that Google used his patented technology in its processors to enhance AI features in various services such as Google Search, Gmail, and Google Translate.Google has responded by questioning the validity of Singular's patents and asserting that its processors were independently developed over many years. The company has also argued that its technology operates differently from the patented technology of Singular. In parallel, a separate legal proceeding is underway, where a U.S. appeals court in Washington will hear arguments on whether Singular's patents should be invalidated, a case that Google appealed from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.The trial, expected to last two to three weeks, centers around Google's Tensor Processing Units introduced in 2016 and subsequent versions in 2017 and 2018. These units are crucial for Google's AI capabilities, including speech recognition and content generation. The outcome of this trial could have significant financial and technological implications for Google.Google faces multibillion-dollar US patent trial over AI technology | ReutersThe Biden administration, through the U.S. Department of Labor, has issued a new rule that aims to redefine the classification of workers as employees instead of independent contractors. This move, set to affect industries reliant on contract labor, including trucking, manufacturing, healthcare, and app-based gig services, is anticipated to increase labor costs significantly. Under the new rule, workers will be considered employees if they are "economically dependent" on a company, a shift from the previous Trump administration's regulation which allowed more flexibility in classifying workers as contractors.The rule, which takes effect on March 11, has sparked concern among business groups and is expected to face legal challenges. It is designed to combat the misclassification of workers, a common issue in industries such as construction and healthcare, but its impact on gig economy companies like Uber and Lyft has attracted the most attention. These companies have expressed concerns but also believe the rule won't necessarily lead to their drivers being classified as employees.Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su emphasized the importance of this rule for low-income workers who would benefit from employee legal protections such as minimum wage and unemployment insurance. However, some business groups argue that the rule goes too far, potentially depriving millions of workers of flexibility and opportunity. Marc Freedman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce criticized the rule for its potential to create confusion and inconsistency in worker classification, potentially leading to costly legal battles. Despite these concerns, the Labor Department will evaluate factors like a worker's chance for profit or loss, the level of control a company has over a worker, and the relevance of the work to the company's business to determine employee or contractor status.Biden administration issues rule that could curb 'gig' work, contracting | ReutersJohnson & Johnson (J&J) has tentatively agreed to pay approximately $700 million to settle an investigation by over 40 U.S. states into claims that it improperly marketed its talc-based baby powder without adequately warning about potential health risks. This settlement aims to prevent potential lawsuits that allege J&J concealed links between its talc powder and various cancers. The agreement, still in finalization, follows J&J's failed attempts to use bankruptcy courts to settle numerous lawsuits accusing it of hiding the health risks of its baby powder.The litigation, which has been ongoing for a decade, has had a noticeable impact on J&J's stock price and overall market performance. Initially, J&J had proposed a $9 billion settlement for all current and future baby powder claims through a bankruptcy filing of one of its units. The company had previously set aside $400 million to resolve U.S. states' consumer protection claims, which was increased following mediation.However, the proposed settlement does not include suits by Mississippi and New Mexico, which are seeking higher settlements due to their ongoing litigation efforts. These states argue for significant damages based on the extensive sale of baby powder without cancer warnings over several decades.J&J faces broader legal challenges beyond this settlement, with over 50,000 lawsuits alleging that its talc-based products, contaminated with asbestos, pose a cancer risk. Despite maintaining that its products do not cause cancer and appropriately marketing its baby powder for over a century, J&J has faced numerous court losses and large damage awards. In response to declining sales and ongoing litigation, J&J discontinued its talc-based powders in the U.S. and Canada in 2020 and pledged to replace talc with cornstarch in its products globally by the end of the previous year.J&J to Pay $700 Million to Settle States' Talc Investigation (2)In my latest column, I explore the potential of tax policy as a solution to address the critical issue of water depletion. Water, our most finite resource, has been overexploited for decades, leading to alarming groundwater depletion in the United States since 1900. As climate change disrupts the distribution of freshwater resources, tax policy emerges as a possible remedy.Drawing inspiration from the success of the Pajaro Valley's water tax, which effectively curbed water usage while mitigating saltwater infiltration and crop destruction in the California desert, I delve into the implications of such a tax on a broader scale. Overuse of aquifers goes beyond water depletion; it can result in aquifer failure, which is often difficult and expensive to repair.Tax policy, a tool for making resource users bear the true cost of their actions, is especially pertinent to address the tragedy of the commons observed in groundwater use. By internalizing the cost of water extraction and its associated damages, a water tax can incentivize responsible water use.However, the effectiveness of a water tax not only lies in its implementation but also in wise investment of the revenue generated. I propose allocating funds toward promising technologies like hydropanels that generate clean drinking water from the air, as well as improving existing water transport, storage, and recapture systems.Investments in desalination, water recycling, and more durable water storage and transport methods can further mitigate water loss. Research grants and public-private partnerships can accelerate technology development and infrastructure improvement.In conclusion, the Pajaro Valley's success with a water tax demonstrates the potential of tax policy to manage our vital water resources effectively. By deterring overuse, internalizing costs, and directing revenue toward innovative solutions, we can shift from water consumption to responsible stewardship, ensuring the sustainable management of this essential resource.Taxing Water Is the Only Way to Limit Use and Reduce Depletion Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Se conoció como el “gran Chasco”.

Jen chats to Joseph Bates who threw himself into intense and dangerous careers after the death of his father and is now working as a wellness coach after setting up halenstrength.com!

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 66, my guest this week is Joseph Bates, the co-founder and CEO of Halen, an app that is working to change how people view mental health and wellbeing. Joe lost his father at a young age which led him to join the military as a sniper.  This would take him on back-to-back tours of Afghanistan with UK Special Forces. By his mid-twenties he was working in The City in a fasted paced job and running on adrenaline and late nights and it was at this point that his emotions started to catch up with him and his mental health started to rapidly deteriorate. Both therapy and coaching played a big part in his recovery journey and that's where the idea for Halen was born. Halen is an app that offers access to therapy and other forms of coaching and gives users the opportunity to pick who they want to work with in an easy and accessible way. It was incredible to hear about Joe's journey and the impact it had on his mental health and we cover a lot of ground in this episode!

On Halloween 1966, Joseph Bates awoke early in the morning to find that his 18 year old  daughter, Cheri Jo, had not slept in her bed the previous night.  Cheri had been studying in the River City College library and it was completely out of character for her to stay out all night, so Joseph contacted the police.  A short time later Cheri's body was found face-down in an alleyway on the college campus. There was evidence of a struggle and Cheri had been stabbed multiple times. The local police had no unsolved murders on their books and expected to solve this terrible crime quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, the case proved far from straightforward. Sourceswww.pe.com/2013/11/30/riverside-co-ed8217s-1966-slaying-still-a-mystery/amp/www.al.com/news/2020/10/did-the-zodiac-killer-murder-an-alabama-couple-in-1964.html%3foutputType=amphttps://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/the-cheri-jo-bates-autopsy-findings-part-threewww.pe.com/2013/11/30/riverside-co-ed8217s-1966-slaying-still-a-mystery/amp/https://viewpointsonline.org/2013/11/05/its-time-to-remember-cheri-jo/?amp=1https://zodiacrevisited.com/cheri-jo-bates-evidence-analysis/www.sfweekly.com/news/yesterdays-crimes-news/yesterdays-crimes-dna-profiles-and-the-murderers-who-might-be-zodiac/amp/https://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/cheri-jo-bates-the-timelinehttps://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/cheri-jo-bates-the-complete-eyewitness-timelinehttps://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/The_Zodiac_Killer#cite_note-2https://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-news/a-betrayal-of-trusthttp://www.zodiologists.com/riverside_desktop_poem_introduction.htmlhttps://zodiackillerfacts.com/uncategorized/cheri-jo-bates-a-zodiac-crime-or-just-an-inspiration/https://zodiackiller.forumotion.com/t595-new-article-on-the-bates-murderhttps://www.zodiacciphers.com/zodiac-killer-site-forum---hot-topics/ross-sullivanhttps://www.bustle.com/p/who-is-ross-sullivan-the-hunt-for-the-zodiac-killer-explores-a-popular-theory-5465516https://riversideca.gov/rpd/about-contact/operations/investigations-division/cold-case-unit?fbclid=IwAR3Wt0URSR77sMZHvWyifloo3dGcYqdbzLhyzZPXTsMY0bscrE0QBswzplo#spotLightCasehttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/reward-offered-for-information-on-55-year-old-riverside-murder-linked-to-zodiac-killer/ar-AAMZsAO

Jodie Kidd is a model, racing car driver, tv personality and the landlady of the Half Moon Pub in Kirdford, Sussex.After a hugely successful modelling career, Jodie decided to go back to her country roots, needing time to reconnect after suffering anxiety and panic attacks. A chance appearance on Top Gear, saw her getting the fastest track time and notably beating JK from Jamiroquai on her first track race, lead Jodie to spend four years racing with Maserati in Italy. Jodie has starred in many TV shows, but it was her time MasterChef that inspired her to take over her local pub The Half Moon in Kirdford, which has since been awarded two AA rosettes and is reopen now after months of lockdown and receiving rave reviews. She loves a challenge and an opportunity to learn something new, as she certainly did recently on ITV's Don't Rock the Boat, pushing herself to mental and physical limits most of us couldn't dream of, partnering with Olympian Victoria Pendleton to successfully row the length of Great Britain on an Atlantic rowing boat.

Studiul Față în față cu responsabilitatea ne va conduce spre perioada de început a Bisericii Adventiste de Ziua a Șaptea pentru a ne familiariza pe scurt cu istoria noastră și cu subiectul pe care adventiștii au clădit întreaga învățătură adventă. Este vorba de subiectul Sanctuarului, un adevăr descoperit după 22 octombrie 1844 și care ne-a dat identitatea pe care o purtăm. O înțelegere corespunzătoare a citatelor care vor compune studiul, va conduce la o apreciere corectă a responsabilității pe care fiecare din noi o purtăm și, sper, la o acțiune corespunzătoare pe plan personal, care apoi se va reflecta în biserica lui Dumnezeu. În prima parte a studiului vom vedea accentul pe care cei dezamăgiți de faptul că Isus nu a revenit pe 22 octombrie 1844 (milleriții) l-au pus pe Sanctuar, pe curățirea lui și pe pregătirea credincioșilor în vederea lucrării de îndepărtare a păcatelor. Este vorba în primul rând de O.R.L. Crosier, Hiram Edson și Franklin B. Hahn. Vom observa mai apoi că aceleași preocupări au caracterizat viața fondatorilor Bisericii Adventiste de Ziua a Șaptea: Joseph Bates, James White, Ellen White și alții.

In this episode, we wrap up some loose strings from the 1870s: the death of Joseph Bates, the leadership philosophy of G.I. Butler, and the first missionaries the Adventist Church sent to Europe.

In this episode, we officially meet James White and Ellen Harmon, the two other co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Of course, Joseph Bates makes a cameo (it's in his contract).

In this episode, we will catch up with Joseph Bates and see how he learned about the biggest idea he would bequeath to the future Seventh-day Adventist Church. 

In this episode, we see how Miller's followers handled the disappointment and examine some of the answers they tossed around. We also take a better look at Joseph Bates, which is always a treat.
