Send us your feedback In this episode, Financial Services Partner Jeremy Muir speaks with Litigation Senior Associate Oliver Sutton about the legal complexities of cryptocurrency enforcement, offering their insights on how legal institutions are responding to the unique challenges posed by decentralised digital assets.[01:18] Jeremy and Oliver begin by addressing the jurisdictional “million-dollar question” of which laws govern cryptocurrency disputes. They note that traditional principles, such as lex situs, are difficult to apply to de-centralised digital assets, and discuss recent decisions from New Zealand and the United Kingdom that illustrate how case law is beginning to navigate this challenge.[04:10] Jeremy queries the available remedies and enforceability of freezing orders across borders. Oliver explains that their practical application depends on whether the orders target account holders or exchanges, highlighting the jurisdictional challenges involved in enforcement.[05:20] They discuss how New Zealand's existing legal framework safeguards cryptocurrency consumers, noting that crypto assets generally do not fall within the definition of “financial products” under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.[06:00] Oliver explains that general consumer protection laws, such as the Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, will apply, particularly in cases of misrepresentation, highlighting a high-profile Commerce Commission prosecution last year involving a crypto-based pyramid scheme. He cautions, however, that as crypto remains largely unregulated in New Zealand, investors should exercise caution or seek expert advice, as funds lost in scams can be difficult to recover.[07:24] Jeremy discusses recent developments in crypto tax regulation, noting New Zealand's commitment to the OECD's new Crypto Asset Reporting Framework, which will impose reporting requirements for certain crypto transactions from April 2026, marking a step toward greater international alignment.[08:20] Building on an earlier Tech Suite episode with Nicolas Turnbull, they explore the challenges of enforcing remedies in crypto scams and exchange failures from a legal standpoint. Oliver highlights three key scenarios; scams and pyramid schemes, poorly structured exchanges and hard-to-trace funds, explaining how courts are adapting and using traditional tools like freezing and debt orders in this unique digital context.[09:38] Oliver lastly highlights an innovative enforcement development, explaining how courts in the United Kingdom, New York, and Ontario have approved service of legal documents directly to crypto wallets via Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), offering a transparent and trackable way to notify an unknown defendant.

Send us fan responses! Discover the hidden commercial framework behind our legal system and how understanding this structure can transform your approach to court proceedings. This eye-opening conversation reveals strategies used by entities like Disney, who leveraged the "Royal Lives Clause" to challenge tax obligations, and how similar approaches might be applied to personal legal matters.The speakers dive deep into court jurisdiction challenges, explaining the critical difference between appearing "pro se" versus "sui juris" and why this distinction matters. They outline practical steps for responding to court summons, including filing affidavits rather than motions, demanding delegation of authority from judges, and properly handling court communications. The conversation illuminates how judgments become securities that are bundled and sold as bonds, revealing the financial instruments generated through court cases.Perhaps most valuable is their breakdown of how to establish oneself as "foreign" to a jurisdiction by declaring state nationality and registering one's name as a business entity. This approach creates separation between the individual and what they describe as the "corporate fiction" that courts attempt to address. The speakers share specific documents to file, including letters of rogatory, certificates of identity, and fee schedules, all designed to establish that courts must prove their jurisdiction before proceedings can continue.Whether you're facing legal challenges or simply want to understand the commercial foundations of our court systems, this conversation provides rare insights into navigating legal proceedings from a position of knowledge rather than fear. Take control of your legal standing by learning how to properly challenge jurisdiction, respond to identification questions, and understand the true nature of what's happening when you enter a courtroom.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
We're joined by Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the upcoming New Orleans Investment Conference (Nov 2–5). Shad and I will both be attending, and we hope to see many of you there as well. Brien shares his insights on the remarkable run in precious metals equities and where opportunities still remain, from development-stage “optionality plays” to the surge in exploration success stories. Key discussion points: Optionality plays: Once trading at $10/oz in the ground, many have rerated to $30–$50/oz. But history shows they've commanded $100-$300/oz in prior cycles. M&A may drive the next leg higher. Exploration upside: A wave of strong drill results, including standout discoveries like Prospector Metals in the Yukon, fueled by years of careful groundwork during leaner times. Financing boom: Juniors raising capital at unprecedented levels, often without warrants - creating both opportunity and caution around free-trading share overhangs. Strategic investments: Producers like Centerra Gold are increasingly backing juniors, bringing capital, technical expertise, and long-term support. Jurisdiction focus: Safe, established regions (Canada, Nevada, Yukon) are attracting the most capital and generating the most discoveries. Stocks & themes discussed: Prospector Metals (TSX.V:PPP - OTCQB:PMUSP), Centerra Gold (TSX:CG - NYSE:CGAU).

Samantha BessonDroit international des institutionsCollège de FranceAnnée 2025-2026The "Province of All Mankind"? Property in Outer Space under Public and Private International Law & PhilosophyColloque - Isabelle Sourbès-Verger: CommentCommentPanel 1: Sovereignty, Jurisdiction and Property in Outer SpaceColloque organisé par la Pr Samantha Besson, chaire Droit international des institutions, les 25 et 26 septembre 2025PrésentationAs it is the case in other (marine or polar) "spaces" of international law usually defined negatively as areas beyond the (territorial) jurisdiction of States, a "non-appropriation" principle applies to the outer space (art. II 1967 Outer Space Treaty; art. 11(2-3) 1979 Moon Agreement). Despite later clarifications in the 1979 Moon Agreement, States still disagree, however, about both the material scope of the principle of non-appropriation (celestial bodies only, or both the bodies and their extracted resources) and its personal scope (public appropriation in the form of sovereign claims by States only, or both public and private appropriation). They also disagree about the implications of the second, more positive principle that was added in the Moon Agreement, i.e. that of "common heritage of mankind" (art. 11(1) Moon Agreement) and about the content of the further principle of "equitable access and sharing of benefits" (art. 11(7d) Moon Agreement) that applies to the common exploitation of celestial resources. In any case, due to the limited number of State ratifications (17 to date), the Moon Agreement is not considered as an expression of universally binding customary law. The same applies to the international regime for the common exploitation of the natural resources of celestial bodies foreseen by the agreement (art. 11(5-7) and 18 Moon Agreement).This disagreement is sharpened by the tension between those more recent principles, including non-appropriation through use, and the original principles of the international law of "areas beyond national jurisdiction", i.e. the principle of "freedom of exploration and use" (art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty) and its twin principle, i.e. the "freedom of scientific investigation" (art. I(3) Outer Space Treaty; art. 6(1) Moon Agreement). Those original principles have been left untouched by the new ones, indeed, and seem to accommodate free appropriation of resources through use, even if those freedoms have to be "carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries" (art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty; art. 4(1) Moon Agreement). The same tensions between the original principles and the subsequent ones also apply within other spaces of international law such as the high seas and deep seabed and have not been resolved by the 2023 Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction.This indeterminacy has led certain States and regional organizations to adopt domestic (public and private) legislation, develop soft law and/or conclude bilateral agreements to secure the property rights and investments of private companies authorized by those States to explore and exploit celestial bodies and their resources. Their hope thereby is to shape what is called, in international treaty law, a "subsequent practice in the application of treaties establishing an agreement". If those States were to succeed, that practice could influence the interpretation of the Outer Space Treaty. After all, this is exactly what some States did in 1982 after the adoption of the Convention of the Law on the Sea and following their disagreements about the organization of the international regime for the common exploitation of the deep seabed resources in the convention. So-doing, they steered that regime towards the 1994 compromise and the modification of the convention that ensued and, arguably, led to that regime's contemporary deadlock.This situation raises numerous questions about the kind of international law of outer space the international community of peoples should aim at developing. This is especially the case if we are to prevent the "enclosure" through public and private appropriation of what art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty refers to as the "province of all mankind". It also raises difficult questions about the state of our legal imaginary at a turning point of life on Earth. Are our legal categories themselves at risk of being prematurely "enclosed" by the binary opposition between (State) territory and space, by the opposition between the "common" and the public or the private, and by a given articulation of property to sovereignty?This two-day conference will bring public and private international lawyers together with political and legal philosophers to discuss the complex issues raised by property in outer space, including its relations to the notions of territory, jurisdiction and sovereignty, but also the international legal status of scientific research, data and samples. The discussions will be organized around three central issues: (i) the relations between property, jurisdiction and sovereignty, and their implications in outer space; (ii) the prospects of "commoning" in outer space, and of a distinct future international institution and regime to govern the common use of celestial resources as currently discussed by the United Nations' Committee on the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS); and (iii) the public and common good of science, and its implications for a better distinction between scientific "exploration" and commercial "use", exploitation or appropriation of and by science in outer space.Participants/Speakers: Philippe Achilleas (University of Paris-Saclay); Michael Byers (University of British Columbia, Vancouver); Isabel Feichtner (University of Würzburg); Stephan Hobe (University of Cologne); Maria Manoli (University of Aberdeen); Michela Massimi (University of Edinburgh); Alex Mills (University College, London); Margaret Moore (Queen's University, Ontario); Yannick Radi (Catholic University of Louvain); Lukas Rass-Masson (University of Toulouse Capitole); Anna Stilz (University of Berkeley); Fabio Tronchetti (University of Northumbria); Jonathan B.

After all, this is exactly what some States did in 1982 after the adoption of the Convention of the Law on the Sea and following their disagreements about the organization of the international regime for the common exploitation of the deep seabed resources in the convention. So-doing, they steered that regime towards the 1994 compromise and the modification of the convention that ensued and, arguably, led to that regime's contemporary deadlock.This situation raises numerous questions about the kind of international law of outer space the international community of peoples should aim at developing. This is especially the case if we are to prevent the "enclosure" through public and private appropriation of what art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty refers to as the "province of all mankind". It also raises difficult questions about the state of our legal imaginary at a turning point of life on Earth. Are our legal categories themselves at risk of being prematurely "enclosed" by the binary opposition between (State) territory and space, by the opposition between the "common" and the public or the private, and by a given articulation of property to sovereignty?This two-day conference will bring public and private international lawyers together with political and legal philosophers to discuss the complex issues raised by property in outer space, including its relations to the notions of territory, jurisdiction and sovereignty, but also the international legal status of scientific research, data and samples. The discussions will be organized around three central issues: (i) the relations between property, jurisdiction and sovereignty, and their implications in outer space; (ii) the prospects of "commoning" in outer space, and of a distinct future international institution and regime to govern the common use of celestial resources as currently discussed by the United Nations' Committee on the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPUOS); and (iii) the public and common good of science, and its implications for a better distinction between scientific "exploration" and commercial "use", exploitation or appropriation of and by science in outer space.Participants/Speakers: Philippe Achilleas (University of Paris-Saclay); Michael Byers (University of British Columbia, Vancouver); Isabel Feichtner (University of Würzburg); Stephan Hobe (University of Cologne); Maria Manoli (University of Aberdeen); Michela Massimi (University of Edinburgh); Alex Mills (University College, London); Margaret Moore (Queen's University, Ontario); Yannick Radi (Catholic University of Louvain); Lukas Rass-Masson (University of Toulouse Capitole); Anna Stilz (University of Berkeley); Fabio Tronchetti (University of Northumbria); Jonathan B.

Samantha BessonDroit international des institutionsCollège de FranceAnnée 2025-2026The "Province of All Mankind"? Property in Outer Space under Public and Private International Law & PhilosophyColloque - Anna Stilz: Sovereignty and Property in Celestial ResourcesSovereignty and Property in Celestial ResourcesPanel 1: Sovereignty, Jurisdiction and Property in Outer SpaceColloque organisé par la Pr Samantha Besson, chaire Droit international des institutions, les 25 et 26 septembre 2025PrésentationAs it is the case in other (marine or polar) "spaces" of international law usually defined negatively as areas beyond the (territorial) jurisdiction of States, a "non-appropriation" principle applies to the outer space (art. II 1967 Outer Space Treaty; art. 11(2-3) 1979 Moon Agreement). Despite later clarifications in the 1979 Moon Agreement, States still disagree, however, about both the material scope of the principle of non-appropriation (celestial bodies only, or both the bodies and their extracted resources) and its personal scope (public appropriation in the form of sovereign claims by States only, or both public and private appropriation). They also disagree about the implications of the second, more positive principle that was added in the Moon Agreement, i.e. that of "common heritage of mankind" (art. 11(1) Moon Agreement) and about the content of the further principle of "equitable access and sharing of benefits" (art. 11(7d) Moon Agreement) that applies to the common exploitation of celestial resources. In any case, due to the limited number of State ratifications (17 to date), the Moon Agreement is not considered as an expression of universally binding customary law. The same applies to the international regime for the common exploitation of the natural resources of celestial bodies foreseen by the agreement (art. 11(5-7) and 18 Moon Agreement).This disagreement is sharpened by the tension between those more recent principles, including non-appropriation through use, and the original principles of the international law of "areas beyond national jurisdiction", i.e. the principle of "freedom of exploration and use" (art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty) and its twin principle, i.e. the "freedom of scientific investigation" (art. I(3) Outer Space Treaty; art. 6(1) Moon Agreement). Those original principles have been left untouched by the new ones, indeed, and seem to accommodate free appropriation of resources through use, even if those freedoms have to be "carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries" (art. I(1) Outer Space Treaty; art. 4(1) Moon Agreement). The same tensions between the original principles and the subsequent ones also apply within other spaces of international law such as the high seas and deep seabed and have not been resolved by the 2023 Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction.This indeterminacy has led certain States and regional organizations to adopt domestic (public and private) legislation, develop soft law and/or conclude bilateral agreements to secure the property rights and investments of private companies authorized by those States to explore and exploit celestial bodies and their resources. Their hope thereby is to shape what is called, in international treaty law, a "subsequent practice in the application of treaties establishing an agreement".

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of civil procedure, focusing on the critical concepts of jurisdiction, including personal and subject matter jurisdiction, venue, and the implications of landmark cases like Ford v. Montana. It emphasizes the importance of understanding procedural rules for effective legal practice and exam success, while also exploring the roles of due process, jurisdictional discovery, long arm statutes, and the nuances of removal jurisdiction and forum non-convenience.Imagine you're in a courtroom, the air thick with anticipation. The judge is about to make a ruling that could change lives. But what guides this process? The answer lies in the fundamentals of civil procedure and jurisdiction, the backbone of our legal system.The Role of Civil Procedure: Civil procedure is the framework that governs how civil cases are processed in court. It ensures fairness and consistency, providing a structured path from the initial filing to the final verdict. As legal expert Jane Doe states, "Civil procedure is the rulebook that ensures justice is served efficiently and equitably."Understanding Jurisdiction: Jurisdiction refers to a court's authority to hear a case. It determines which court will preside over a matter, based on factors like location and subject matter. John Smith, a seasoned attorney, explains, "Jurisdiction is crucial because it sets the stage for where and how a case will be heard."The fundamentals of civil procedure and jurisdiction are essential for maintaining order and fairness in the legal system.

This conversation delves into the complexities of conflict of laws, focusing on jurisdiction, choice of law, and the recognition and enforcement of judgments across borders. It highlights the importance of understanding these principles for future legal professionals, especially in an increasingly interconnected world. The discussion contrasts the legal frameworks of the US and EU, explores the nuances of jurisdiction, and emphasizes the practical implications of enforcing judgments internationally.Imagine a scenario where a business dispute arises between parties located in different countries. The question of which country's laws apply and which court has the authority to hear the case becomes crucial. This is where the field of Conflict of Laws steps in, providing a framework to address these complex issues.Jurisdiction: Jurisdiction refers to the authority of a court to hear a case. In cross-border disputes, determining jurisdiction can be challenging. Courts often consider factors such as the location of the parties, the place where the contract was executed, and the nature of the dispute. As legal scholar John Doe notes, "Jurisdiction is the cornerstone of any legal proceeding, especially in international cases."Choice of Law: Once jurisdiction is established, the next step is to determine which country's laws will govern the dispute. This is known as the choice of law. Courts may apply various principles, such as the law of the place where the contract was made or the law of the place where the harm occurred. Jane Smith, a renowned legal expert, emphasizes, "The choice of law can significantly impact the outcome of a case, making it a critical consideration in international disputes."Recognition of Judgments: After a court renders a judgment, the question arises as to whether other jurisdictions will recognize and enforce it. The recognition of judgments is essential for ensuring that legal decisions have practical effects across borders. International treaties and agreements, such as the Hague Convention, play a vital role in facilitating the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.Conclusion: Conflict of Laws is a complex and dynamic field that addresses the challenges of cross-border legal disputes. By understanding the principles of jurisdiction, choice of law, and recognition of judgments, parties can navigate the intricacies of international litigation more effectively. As global interactions continue to increase, the importance of Conflict of Laws will only grow.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest developments in international law by subscribing.

Welcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Marine, FBI Special Agent, and HRT Operator Rob D’Amico. Rob D’Amico has over thirty-six years of federal government service—ten years in the United States Marine Corps and nearly twenty-seven with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He is the founder and principal consultant for Sierra One Consulting. Rob began a life of service when he enlisted as a US Marine during college at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, and, after obtaining his bachelor's degree, was commissioned as an officer and served his first overseas tour in the first Gulf War. His work on reconnaissance missions with the Marine Corps paved the way for Rob’s long and successful career with the FBI. After four years based out of the Bureau’s Miami, Florida field office, apprehending the most violent felons of South Florida as a member of a multi-agency violent crime fugitive task force, Rob transitioned into deep undercover work against the most notorious U.S. and Italian-based organized crime families. Rob was among the few selected to the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, in which he served as a sniper and was first deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Rob’s career with and beyond the HRT team placed him at each pivotal step in the resolution of kidnapping and hostile detention matters. He has worked on every facet of operations—negotiating hostage releases and exchanges, operating under the highest pressure against pirates, negotiators, warlords, leaders of terrorist networks, as well as with ambassadors, generals, foreign ministers, and non-government organizations. From being deep undercover, going after the mob, to dealing with Somali pirates, Rob has had a career that movies are literally made of. Today’s episode, we go deep into a hostage rescue operation on the high seas, dealing with Somali pirates! In today’s episode, we discuss: · The difference between HRT and SWAT in the FBI? · What attributes should HRT operators have? · What does HRT training look like? · The hijacking of the American SV Quest by Somali pirates and Rob's mission as an FBI HRT operator embedded with Navy SEALs regarding this mission. · Four United States citizens on board and 19 pirates. · The ultimate conclusion to the kidnapping? · Jurisdiction issues and maintaining and processing a floating crime scene that was in danger of sinking. · Going onto Somali soil to investigate and make arrests? · The strain on his family during this and other operations like this. How did Rob deal with it? What is his advice to someone about to do something similar to this work? · Retirement, how difficult was it to walk away from all of this? How did he cope/adjust?

What if the birth certificate was never for your baby—but a tool of control used by the state?In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a freebirthing mother of two, who chose to walk a path most women never even consider: birthing and raising her second child completely outside the system. No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number.After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free.We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state's contracts.Inside this episode:What really happens when you don't get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your childThe process Veda used to get a passport without a state-issued IDWhy a “family Bible” can hold legal weight in proving lineage and identityHow the social security number binds your child into the U.S. corporate systemThe link between freebirth and reclaiming jurisdiction over your body and familyWhat it's like to raise a child who has never been registered by the stateThe unseen cost of outsourcing authority—and what you reclaim when you stopTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:01] Choosing radical self-trust after rejecting the medical model[09:21] Learning to sit in the unknown and trust yourself through freebirth[22:54] Rethinking the birth certificate as a contract with the state and choosing a sovereign path instead[26:08] Creating private records to get a passport without a birth certificate[36:47] Using private trusts and EINs as alternatives to social security numbers and state contracts[52:44] Facing fear, claiming trust, and birthing in full sovereignty with family by your sideResources Mentioned:The Business of Being Born | MovieIf you want to connect with Veda, you can find her website here, and follow her @veda.revival.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

Valkea Resources (TSX-V: OZ | OTCQB: OZBKF | FSE: S600) has launched its fall drill program at the Paana Project in Finland. President & CEO Chris Donaldson joins the KE Report to outline the strategy, starting with step-outs at the Koivu Zone, new target generation, and the company's broader exploration plans in this Tier-1 district. Key points: Fall Drill Program (~2,000m): Step-outs at the Koivu Zone following encouraging intercepts from the last campaign (e.g., ~55m @ ~1.6 g/t Au; ~36m @ ~1.5 g/t Au), plus ongoing target generation. Geologic Model & Strategy: Koivu Zone shows disseminated “Ikkari/Rupert-style” gold; Honka Zone is “Kittilä-style” high-grade. Team will test if Koivu and Honka zones connect. Target Pipeline: Base-of-till drilling across multiple anomalies and work advancing the northern Rova project. Core Re-logging & Structural Work: Refining structure and controls on mineralization using historic holes to tighten targeting. Team & Operations: New Exploration Manager, Jens Rönnqvist, on the ground in Finland to coordinate fieldwork and community engagement. Jurisdiction & Neighbors: Paana sits in a Tier-1 district alongside Agnico Eagle's Kittilä Mine, B2Gold/Aurion, and Rupert Resources. Finland ranked #1 by the Fraser Institute for mining attractiveness; recent financings underscore capital flowing into the belt. Near-Term Catalysts: Drills now turning; a ~2-month program with assays expected to begin in the fall (lab timing dependent). Step-outs at Koivu are the headline driver. Any follow up questions for Chris can be emailed to me directly at Fleck@kereport.com. Click here to visit the Valkea Resources website to learn more about the Company.
In this episode, we delve into the critical distinctions between general and specific jurisdiction, fundamental concepts in personal jurisdiction law. General jurisdiction allows a court to hear any case against a defendant whose connections to the forum state are so continuous and systematic that they are essentially "at home" there. In contrast, specific jurisdiction is more narrowly focused, requiring that the lawsuit arise out of or relate to the defendant's activities within the forum state. We explore landmark cases and recent developments, providing a roadmap through the jurisdictional maze to help you confidently navigate these legal waters.This conversation delves into the complexities of personal jurisdiction, particularly in light of the recent Supreme Court decision in Fold v. Palestine Liberation Organization. The discussion covers the evolution of personal jurisdiction doctrine, the minimum contacts test, and the distinctions between general and specific jurisdiction. It also highlights the implications of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments on jurisdictional inquiries, procedural due process, and the Erie doctrine, providing a comprehensive overview for law students preparing for exams.TakeawaysPersonal jurisdiction is fundamental for courts to bind parties.A court's judgment is void without proper personal jurisdiction.General jurisdiction allows lawsuits in a defendant's home state for any claim.Specific jurisdiction is tied to the defendant's contacts with the forum state.The 14th Amendment limits state courts, while the Fifth Amendment allows broader federal reach.The Fold case changes the understanding of jurisdiction under the Fifth Amendment.Jurisdiction can be established through statutory gateways like long-arm statutes.Minimum contacts must be evaluated for both general and specific jurisdiction.Procedural due process requires notice and an opportunity to be heard.Subject matter jurisdiction is non-waivable and must be established for federal courts.personal jurisdiction, minimum contacts, Fold v.

Dive into the complexities of federal subject matter jurisdiction with our latest episode. We unravel the intricacies of constitutional rules and statutory powers, focusing on federal question and diversity jurisdiction. Through real-world scenarios, like Sarah's legal battle, we explore how jurisdiction dictates the courtroom and influences legal strategies. Whether you're a law student or a practicing attorney, this episode equips you with the knowledge to navigate the American legal system confidently. Join us for a deep dive into the foundational aspects of jurisdiction that shape legal outcomes.In the intricate world of law, understanding federal subject matter jurisdiction is crucial. Imagine you're a lawyer, and your client, Sarah, faces a legal dispute involving multiple states. The question of where to file the lawsuit becomes pivotal. This blog post delves into the complexities of federal subject matter jurisdiction, exploring its constitutional roots and real-world implications.The Foundation of Federal Jurisdiction: Federal subject matter jurisdiction is the gatekeeper of the courtroom. Without it, even the most compelling legal arguments fall flat. It determines whether a court has the authority to hear a particular type of case, focusing on the nature of the dispute rather than the parties involved. This distinction is vital for law students and practitioners alike.Federal Question and Diversity Jurisdiction: The two primary pillars of federal jurisdiction are federal question jurisdiction and diversity jurisdiction. Federal question jurisdiction arises when a case involves a question of federal law, while diversity jurisdiction applies when parties are from different states, ensuring a neutral federal forum. Understanding these concepts is essential for navigating the legal landscape.Real-World Application: Consider Sarah's case, where she faces a contract dispute with a supplier from another state. The intricacies of federal jurisdiction come into play, influencing where the case can be filed and how it unfolds. This real-world scenario highlights the importance of mastering jurisdictional rules for effective legal strategy.Federal subject matter jurisdiction is more than an academic concept; it's a powerful tool that shapes legal outcomes. By understanding its nuances, lawyers can navigate the complexities of the American legal system with confidence. Whether you're preparing for exams or practicing law, mastering jurisdiction is key to success.Subscribe Now: Stay informed and enhance your legal knowledge by subscribing to our blog.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Olga Wilson to the podcast. Olga was last on Season 5, Episode 274. Olga has been courageously exposing transcript falsification and corruption in the Butte County, Chico California family courts. On our last podcast, Olga shared how records were altered to erase evidence and silence her. Since then a shocking new development emerged: a questionable reassignment of a retired judge back on to her case, the denial of her objections and evidence of a systemic cover-up at the highest levels of the California judiciary. However, this isn't just Olga's story, its a warning to the TAXPAYER about how far the courts will go to protect themselves instead of families and their children.To Reach Olga Wilson: olgavwilson@gmail.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

From The Archives: (12:23-22)There have been a lot of questions and comments about why the Moscow Police Department doesn't hand over the investigation to the FBI. In this episode, we are going to look at some of the reasons why that isn't feasible and why a local department like Moscow will be the lead agency in localized crimes, even when the FBI is involved.(commercial at 6:11)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders: Former FBI special agent explains why federal agency hasn't taken over investigation | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode we chat to Dan Myerson, Executive Chairman and CEO of Foran Mining, a company at the forefront of the copper revolution and one of the only single-asset copper developers actively building a mine anywhere in the world.In this episode, we dig into why Foran remains undervalued despite its remarkable progress at the McIlvenna Bay project — now nearing 50% completion and on track for commercial production by mid-2026. Dan shares insights on market sentiment toward pre-production copper companies, the strategic importance of Foran's Saskatchewan jurisdiction, and why now might be a pivotal moment for investors to take a closer look. We also explore what lies beyond McIlvenna Bay, and how Foran is positioning itself in a copper market grappling with supply constraints and long-term demand growth. Stay tuned as we unpack the milestones, the macro trends, and the big vision driving one of Canada's most exciting copper stories. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite its achievements, Foran Mining is perceived as undervalued in the market. The disconnect between perceived and actual risk is a factor, suggesting that the company's fundamentals do not align with its current valuation. Saskatchewan is recognised as one of the best mining jurisdictions globally, with a supportive government and low after-tax cash costs Beyond McIlvenny Bay, Foran Mining has significant exploration potential with discoveries like the Tesla and Bridge zones. These areas could lead to increased production capacity With the company positioned at a critical juncture before production, there is a strong argument for investment. BEST MOMENTS "We are the only single asset company building an actual greenfield copper mine in the world today, which when you actually say that out loud is quite amazing." "The actual risk versus the perceived risk is very different... the perceived risk that's still involved is much higher than the actual risk." "The valuation where it's at is the cheapest it's ever been in its history... now is the best time that you could ever have to buy the stock." "Saskatchewan is one of the best jurisdictions in the world... very pragmatic and practical government. I'd say that's the best thing."

In Harrington v. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc., the Ninth Circuit ruled that, in FLSA collective actions, federal courts must evaluate personal jurisdiction before allowing notices to out-of-state employees in nationwide claims—a move that strengthens employers' ability to challenge these cases. Key Takeaways for Employers Jurisdiction matters: Courts must confirm jurisdiction before notifying out-of-state employees. Limited forum shopping: Plaintiffs face limits to filing in unrelated jurisdictions. Stronger grounds for employers: Employers can challenge out-of-state claims with no forum ties. Arbitration implications: Courts may notify employees under arbitration agreements. In this episode of Employment Law This Week®, Epstein Becker Green attorney Courtney McFate describes the Harrington ruling and shares insights to help employers adapt and minimize costly lawsuits.

|"Jurisdiction"| Rev. Billy Chapman 6-8-25 by Cornerstone Pentecostal Church Spokane
The Muscogee Nation will assume some law enforcement duties in the city of Tulsa, Okla., when it comes to tribal citizens. The development over jurisdiction ends a federal lawsuit filed by the Muscogee Nation in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark McGirt decision in 2020. The Cherokee and Osage Nations also potentially have jurisdiction claims in Tulsa and other cities. Local law enforcement officials and Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) oppose the agreement, saying it creates a two-tiered system of justice. We'll find out what the new agreement solves and what it leaves unanswered. Also, tribes connected to Florida are speaking out against the Trump administration's fast track plans to establish a detention center for immigration actions near the Florida Everglades. Miccosukee and Seminole tribal officials and citizens say the center, dubbed the “Alligator Alcatraz,” infringes on land that is their “cultural, spiritual, and historical identity.”

Guevara, a Gwinnett resident, was later taken into ICE custody but granted bail. Confusion arose as DeKalb’s Solicitor’s Office handled and dropped charges, while Gwinnett’s Sheriff’s Office announced unrelated charges from May, which have yet to be entered into the court system or served. Guevara was held at ICE’s Folkston detention center. STORY 2: Partnership Gwinnett Intern Mix Highlights Next Generation Workforce Over 50 college interns attended the Partnership Gwinnett Intern Mix, an annual networking event aimed at fostering professional connections and career opportunities in Metro Atlanta. Sponsored by Primerica and PBK Architects, the event highlighted Gwinnett’s focus on talent development and retaining emerging professionals. Interns engaged in networking, industry insights, and career-focused discussions, aligning with Partnership Gwinnett’s broader workforce initiatives like the Talent Council and Workforce Summit. With growing sectors in advanced manufacturing, IT, health sciences, and more, the event emphasized Gwinnett’s commitment to connecting young talent with real opportunities to build their futures locally.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there's nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration's response to Biden's mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg's order because he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg's order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he's deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims that her Virginia home was her principal residence. That was not and cannot be true because she was and still is an official of the New York government who must live within the state. What's notable about her false statements is that each one worked towards a better mortgage rate. Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.
