Laken Riley's killer was convicted of murder, but he never should have been there in the first place. If Jose Ibarra had been prevented from entering the USA illegally in 2022, Laken would still be alive today. So why does this keep happening? The empathy of good people is being manipulated by activists and extremists who yell words like “tolerance” or “justice” to bully others into compliance. Allie Beth Stuckey calls it “Toxic Empathy” and says it's why so many progressive ideas, like unrestricted immigration or gender surgeries on children, continue to be defended by well-meaning people even as the negative effects dominate headlines. Allie Beth Stuckey hosts the “Relatable” podcast and is the author of multiple New York Times bestselling books including “You're Not Enough (And That's Okay)” and “Toxic Empathy” available at https://amzn.to/4eECNg3.

Special guest Professor Alan Trammell of Washington and Lee University School of Law joins us today for a deep dive into universal injunctions and the related topics of associational standing and judicial forum shopping, and how these elements come into play in litigation challenging regulations and other government policies and actions. Recent developments in litigation critical to the consumer financial services industry have brought universal injunctions into the spotlight. We begin today's episode by providing a working definition of a universal injunction, some historical background, and examples that illustrate the benefits, effects and power of this sweeping remedy. We then turn to an in-depth discussion of objections raised by detractors; real-world concerns that may flow from universal injunctions, including a “one and done problem” cited by Professor Trammell; and various circumstances where Professor Trammell argues universal injunctions are and are not appropriate. We also cover associational standing and its interaction with universal injunction: whether and when a trade association should have standing to bring an action seeking relief for its members, and how and when the outcome of the action might expand into a universal injunction that also would benefit non-members. Our next areas of focus are forum shopping and judge shopping, particularly in the context of such litigation brought by an association. We then turn to speculation as to whether and how the U.S. Supreme Court may proceed to bring some uniformity to how the courts are dealing with these issues. Our episode concludes with comments on recent input on these topics from sources such as Congress and the Judicial Conference of the United States. Alan Kaplinsky, former practice leader and current Senior Counsel in Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts this week's episode.

Investors may have a lot more opportunity to sue their boards of directors for mismanagement after a ruling last month in a Delaware opioid case. The ruling from Delaware Chancery Court, the country's premiere venue for corporate law disputes, was in a case against drug wholesaler AmerisourceBergen that centered on allegations its reckless opioid selling damaged the company's stock price. The court found that investors can introduce evidence of mismanagement dating back years—a much longer time period than AmerisourceBergen had wanted. Bloomberg Law reporter Jennifer Kay wrote a story about the implication of this ruling on shareholder suits and on corporate accountability. She spoke about these topics to Washington & Lee University School of Law professor Carliss Chatman on our weekly legal news podcast, On The Merits.

We all love our pets and think of them as part of our families. Even though we might love them as much (or more) than we love people, the legal system does not allow them the same protection. That doesn't mean that there are no rights for animals, in fact, there are many specific laws designated to protect them. In this episode of The Geek in Review, we bring on four experts in researching Animal Laws, not just in the US, but worldwide. We talk with the following members of the American Association of Law Libraries' Animal Law Caucus: Alex Zhang - Law Library Director and Professor of Practice at Washington and Lee University School of Law Stacey Gordon Sterling -Law Library Director and Professor of law - Alexander Blewett III School of Law at the University of Montana Katie Ott - Reference Librarian - Robert Crown Law Library at Stanford University Sarah Slinger - Reference Librarian and Lecturer at Law - University of Miami Law Library Whether it is legal issues ranging from which "parent" gets the pet in a divorce, or how an orangutan is granted "personhood" in Argentina, to animal testing on cute beagles (yes... that's still going on in the US), our experts from the Animal Law Caucus cover these issues and more.

In this episode, Carliss Chatman, Assistant Professor of Law at Washington & Lee University School of Law, discusses her article, "Myth of the Attorney Whistleblower," which will be published in the SMU Law Review. Chatman begins by explaining the duty of confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege, and how those apply to attorneys representing organizations rather than individuals. She describes the Enron fraud and bankruptcy, reflects on the role of attorneys in that controversy, and describes how Congress tried to create attorney reporting requirements in order to prevent future frauds in Sarbanes-Oxley. She observes that the reforms didn't work, and points to their failure in the Theranos and Tesla scandals. And she reflects on whether any regulation can help.

In this episode, D. Wendy Greene, Professor of Law at Drexel University Kline School of Law and Francis Lewis Scholar in Residence at Washington and Lee University School of Law, discusses her article "Splitting Hairs: The 11th Circuit's Take on Workplace Bans Against Black Women's Natural Hair in EEOC v. Catastrophe Management Solutions," which was published in the University of Miami Law Review. Greene begin by explaining how federal discrimination law works and what plaintiffs must show in order to prove a discrimination claim. She describes how courts have applied those standards to claims involving hairstyles, and why they are mistaken. Specifically, she observes that courts improperly apply the "immutability doctrine," which excludes hairstyles from protection because they can be changed, even if employees shouldn't have to change them, which places an especially heavy burden on African-American women. And she reflects on how her advocacy work has helped change the law in California and New York to protect hairstyle choices.

Ten years ago, Rodney Smolla was featured as a Legal Rebel for leading an innovative plan at Washington and Lee University School of Law to eliminate traditional third-year coursework and replace it with experiential learning. Many law schools opened clinics in the 1970s and 1980s, according to Smolla, but when Washington and Lee revised its 3L coursework in 2009, legal education for the most part had been unchanged for the past century. People had long thought that it was time for change, regardless of whether they were for or against experiential learning, Smolla tells the ABA Journal's Stephanie Francis Ward.

What is the legal precedent following a decision of the Supreme Court that lacks a majority opinion? For a few decades, the meta-rule has been that such as case stands for the position of those justices "who concurred in the judgments on the narrowest grounds." Or has it? And could it? Richard Re joins us to discuss the problems of the Marks rule, the meaning of precedent, and ultimately the nature of our law. This problem will be confronted in the Supreme Court in the coming weeks.

September 21, 2012 | This panel is part of Contraception and Conscience: A Symposium on Religious Liberty, Women's Health, and the HHS Rule on Provision of Birth Control Coverage for Employees, a conference examining the legal, theological, health, equality, and ethical issues relating to the recent Rule promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on "Coverage of Preventive Services Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act." The symposium brought together legal, religious, and cultural scholars and practitioners for a day-long conversation about the increasingly contentious public debate surrounding the HHS Rule requiring employers to subsidize preventive health services for employees, the religious accommodations in the HHS rule, and the lawsuits filed by religious objectors challenging the rule. For more on this event, visit: http://bit.ly/TOpHCe For more on the Berkley Center, visit: http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu How and why did this particular issue engender such concern and controversy? What are the historical antecedents? What does it tell us about how religious communities and institutions (especially those involved in provision of education and social services) can and should navigate rapidly changing norms in the public square? What are the implications of this debate for preventive health services? For women's equality in the workplace and elsewhere in public life? What are the ethical implications for physicians and other health-care providers? Gregg Bloche, Georgetown University Law Center Tracy Fessenden, Arizona State University Eduardo Peñalver, Cornell University Law School Robin West, Georgetown University Law Center Robin Fretwell Wilson, Washington & Lee University School of Law The conference was co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Law Center and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University. It was made possible through a grant from the Ford Foundation.

The Hoover Institution's National Security, Technology and Law Working Group, along with Hoover's Washington, DC office discussed Privacy and Power: A Transatlantic Dialogue in the Shadow of the NSA-Affair. Benjamin Wittes (Hoover working group member and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution), Russell Miller (professor of law at Washington & Lee University School of Law) and Prof. Ralf Poscher (professor of law at University of Freiberg) discussed fundamental differences in the way that Americans and Europeans approach the issues of privacy and intelligence-gathering. Edward Snowden’s revelations of American intelligence-gathering and surveillance activities around the world stirred widespread resentment and dramatic law and policy responses in Europe. It is clear that there is almost nothing on which Americans and Europeans differ so dramatically as the questions of privacy and security. In dozens of contributions from leading commentators, scholars, and policymakers from both sides of the Atlantic, Privacy and Power definitively documents and critically engages with those differences. The book’s opening section acknowledges that Snowden’s revelations, and the startling glimpse they give us into the implications of our new big-data era, challenge us to reconsider our old notions of privacy. The book’s second section, featuring contributions from Benjamin Wittes (Brookings) and Anne Peters (Heidelberg Max Planck Institute), distills, embodies, and frames the transatlantic debate on these issues in these succinct terms: “Germany needs to grow up” and “American needs to obey the law”. The book’s third section consists in a collection of chapters from leading American and European privacy law experts that both substantiates the transatlantic divide and exposes the diversity of views within those spheres. A fourth section features commentary from experts on the supranational and international law implicated by these issues, thereby giving the European Union privacy and data-protection regimes the central role in the debate they are due. The book’s final section concludes with a collection of cultural commentary offering profound and challenging insights into the deeper causes of the American and European differences on these issues.
