Today, Hunter sat down with Zachary Heiden, Carol Garvan, and Professor Eve Primus to discuss the ACLU of Maine's major victory in the fight to change Maine's Public Defense. Since the Sixth Amendment Center's report came out years ago, one thing was clear about Public Defense in Maine: it was in a state of crisis. Now, there finally appears to be a path out of the crisis. Thanks in part to the lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Maine, the courage of public defenders, the judiciary, and the delayed but strong action of the legislature, Maine is on the path to Public Defender Offices around the state. On this episode, we discuss how this happened, why it was needed, and what other states can and should learn from this story.   Guest Carol Garvan, Legal Director, ACLU of Maine Zachary Heiden, Chief Counsel, ACLU of Maine Eve Primus, Professor of Law, University of Michigan   Resources:   Contact the ACLU of Maine Here https://www.aclumaine.org/en Read more about the decision here https://www.aclumaine.org/en/robbinsvictory#:~:text=A%20superior%20court%20ruled%20in,to%20end%20the%20ongoing%20crisis.&text=In%20April%202019%2C%20the%20Sixth,on%20public%20defense%20in%20Maine. 6AC Report https://6ac.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/6AC_me_report_2019.pdf Professor Primus's Faculty Page https://michigan.law.umich.edu/faculty-and-scholarship/our-faculty/eve-brensike-primus   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

In this power-packed episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois bring listeners up to speed on one of the most complex and fast-moving stories in the global food and agriculture sector: the unfolding international tariff war. Appropriately titled “The Global Tariff War Edition,” this episode features a timely and incisive interview with Mark Warner, Managing Director at MAAW Law and one of North America's leading experts on trade, investment, and competition law.The conversation kicks off with Michael and Sylvain diving into the latest developments in U.S.–China trade tensions, which have seen tariffs skyrocket to 125% on inbound U.S. goods into China. They explore the ripple effects on key commodities like soybeans and canola, discuss the surprising resilience of commodity markets, and examine why Canada isn't positioned to step in as a major alternative supplier.The hosts also explore cultural signals from the food world, including the increasing trend of Americans packing lunches and the declining use of doggy bags in restaurants—signs Sylvain suggests may point to growing economic insecurity and workplace anxiety.In the second half of the show, Michael and Sylvain sit down with Mark Warner, who brings deep legal and historical context to the tariff debate. Warner unpacks how the Trump administration is using the rarely-invoked International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to sidestep traditional trade channels. He outlines the risks and potential rewards for Canadian agri-food exporters navigating this new landscape, and why subtle diplomacy—not headline-grabbing bravado—may serve Canada better in the long run. From trade agreements and geopolitical strategy to supply management and softwood lumber, Warner's nuanced take is essential listening for anyone working in, or watching, the agri-food space.And there's also a moment of celebration: Dr. Sylvain Charlebois shares his recent honour—receiving the prestigious Charles III Coronation Medal from the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. In a heartfelt reflection, he dedicates the medal to his wife, Janelle, recognizing her essential support in his research and public policy work. It's a well-deserved acknowledgment of Sylvain's national impact on food policy and scholarship.With sharp insight, humour, and a dash of royal recognition, this episode offers listeners a blend of timely news and expert analysis that defines The Food Professor Podcast.Tune into Bite Sized!Corus Entertainment is excited to add a brand-new topical program to its Talk Radio lineup on April 12called Bite Sized, which explores the business of food in the country. 640 Toronto Saturdays at 2 p.m. ET980 CFPL Sundays at 9 a.m. ET680 CJOB Sundays at 2 p.m. CST770 QR Calgary Sundays at 3 p.m. MST880 CHED Sundays at 3 p.m. MST730 CKNW Sundays at 1 p.m. PSTAbout MarkMark is an Ontario and New York attorney who has practiced trade, investment and competition law in Toronto, New York, Washington, D.C and Brussels and as counsel to the OECD in Paris.  He advises natural resource clients through Pilot Law LLP and fintech and financial Services clients through Atlantis International.

Welcome back to Through the inquisitor's lens, the podcast that explores the complex world of public inquiries and inquests, one question at a time.  In this episode, we explore whether Coroners' Prevention of Future Death (PFD) Reports are truly fit for purpose. Catherine Henney, Legal Director at Eversheds Sutherland, and David Pojur, Barrister at Lincoln House Chambers and Assistant Coroner for North Wales, discuss the statutory role of PFD reports, the training and guidance provided to coroners on when to issue them, and the frequently raised concern that PFDs lack real enforcement power, with no sanctions for those who fail to respond.  They also consider whether the approach of the new Chief Coroner signals a shift in emphasis, and whether we are likely to see greater scrutiny of PFD reports and of those who fail to engage with them.

In the United States, immigrants do not have the right to legal representation in the same way American citizens do. But it’s a different story for children who come to this country alone, thanks to the federally funded Unaccompanied Children Program. It provides legal representation to more than 26,000 children by contracting with non-profit legal aid organizations throughout the country. On March 21, the Trump Administration sent out a stop-work notice that some organizations are calling a near-termination of the program. The move means children as young as toddlers may be expected to represent themselves in very complicated immigration hearings. In response, a number of organizations that assist kids in the immigration system sued the Trump Administration. Thousands of unaccompanied minors have been placed with sponsors across the Pacific Northwest over the past decade, and the ending of contracts supporting them will have very real impacts on people and courts in our region.

Section 8(c) of the National Labor Relations Act states an employer’s communication is not an unfair labor practice if it does not contain a threat of reprisal, force, or a promise of a benefit. Historically, this provision was understood to protect employers’ free speech rights to hold mandatory meetings with employees to express their views on unionization.However, in Amazon.com Services LLC, 373 NLRB No. 136 (Nov. 14, 2024), the National Labor Relations Board held that mandatory meetings where an employer expresses its views on unions violate the Act. The Board deemed such meetings unlawful, even if the views expressed during them do not independently constitute an unfair labor practice.Bill Messenger and Roger King will examine the history of Section 8(c), the Board’s interpretation of its scope, and the potential outcome of the Board’s decision on appeal to the 11th Circuit.Featuring:William L. Messenger, Vice President and Legal Director, National Right to Work Legal Defense and Education Foundation, Inc.(Moderator) G. Roger King, Senior Labor and Employment Counsel, HR Policy Association

The Pennsylvania Innocence Project is a non-profit organization working to exonerate those convicted of crimes they did not commit, prevent innocent people from being prosecuted and convicted, and to help those wrongfully convicted transition to freedom. Nilam Sanghvi is the Legal Director and oversees all of the casework from the PA Innocence Project. “I worked for private law firms for a long time. And when the opportunity to come do this work arose, it's almost how can you say no? It's, you know, that people just should not be in prison if they're innocent. The law is incredibly complex and technical. So, we felt, you know, this is really a place where you need a strong legal team and it's intellectually stimulating. But most important, you know, we really hope that we're giving folks a diligent look at their case that they may never have gotten in the ten, 20, 30 years that they've been dealing with the criminal legal system, “said Sanghvi. Pennsylvania is one of 13 states that provides no compensation or services to those who have been wrongfully convicted. Blanca Castro is a reentry social worker at the non-profit. She provides reintegration services to clients after they are legally represented. “When transitioning home for their release, they really just have the clothes on their back. And this is why reentry services is so important for our clients. And, you know, without those services, it really makes it difficult for them to have a smooth transition home. And so, we see a lot of, you know, the system failing our clients that way as well without providing any sort of compensation or services, “said Castro. The organization has received almost 8,000 letters asking for help in the 15 years since opening in 2008. Technology plays a huge role in investigations that the Pennsylvania Innocence Project cases. “When you think of innocence work, you think a lot of DNA testing, you hear a lot about DNA testing was done and showed this person didn't do it. And that's also something that didn't exist right in the 70s and 80s, but now can be brought to bear to try to determine whether somebody was involved in a crime or not. So, keeping up with advancing technology and using it to look back at old cases is a really important part of our work, “said Sanghvi. Yahya Moore is currently a paralegal at the Pa Innocence Project who served 27 years for a wrongful conviction. While he was in prison, he studied law and worked as a legal aid. Once he returned home, he wanted to assist others wrongfully convicted. “When you're studying the law and you're finding your case and you know that you're right by law, you know that the law is on your side. But you put in a petition, and you put in one after another after another. You still get denied. Right. And so, when you finally come up with an opportunity and I call it an opportunity because for so long in the city of Philadelphia, so many people weren't getting any relief. And so, it was it was so far from few in between that it was almost you could actually say it was nonexistent. And so, after piling in a petition after petition after petition and you're getting no relief, were you when someone comes up against an opportunity to say, okay, well, I take a deal. To get out or do I continue down this long journey? Appellant In these petitions, right. When? I may not get any relief. And so many people who are innocent were apt to go in and just take the deal to get it over with and so they could go home and start their lives, “said Moore.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In late August, Russian Riverkeeper and the California Coastkeeper Alliance got what looks like a very significant ruling in their challenge to Sonoma County's well permitting ordinance. The groups say that by allowing excessive and unmonitored groundwater extraction, the County is failing to protect surface flows in creeks and rivers that fish, wildlife, and recreation need. The court agreed, holding that under the Public Trust doctrine, Sonoma County has an affirmative duty to take the public trust into account in the planning and allocation of water resources, and to protect public trust uses whenever feasible,” but that the County failed to do so, overlooking impacts on the public trust, including cumulative effects.In this episode of the EcoNews Report, Friends of the Eel River Conservation Director Scott Greacen and EPIC Executive Director Tom Wheeler talk to three people deeply involved in these questions.• Rue Furch, former Sonoma County planning commissioner and veteran Russian River advocate.• Don McEnhill, the Executive Director of Russian Riverkeeper.• Drev Hunt, Legal Director for California Coastkeeper, and one of the attorneyson the case, with Jaime Neary of Russian Riverkeeper, Daniel Cooper of SycamoreLaw, and Amy Minteer and Michelle Black of Carstens, Black and Minteer LLP.Further reading:• A Landmark Victory for California Waters - California Coastkeeper Alliance • Why You Should Care About the Public Trust Doctrine - Russian Riverkeeper Support the show

A bump stock is an attachment that converts a semi automatic rifle into a weapon that can fire as many as 800 rounds per minute - an intensity of gunfire matched by machine guns. The deadliest mass shooting carried out by a single shooter in US history - the October 2017 Las Vegas massacre - was enabled by a bump stock. On Friday, the US Supreme Court struck down a Trump-era bump stock ban introduced in the wake of that tragedy, in which 60 people were killed and hundreds more injured. Writing for a perfectly partisan six to three majority, gun enthusiast and ultra conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, decided the administration had overstepped its authority enacting the ban, and based the decision in a very technical, very weird reading of the statute. On this Opinionpalooza edition of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Slate's senior writer on the courts and the law - Mark Stern, and David Pucino, Legal Director & Deputy Chief Counsel of Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Together, they discuss the careful reasoning and research behind the ban, Justice Thomas' self-appointment as a bigger gun expert than the agency charged with regulating guns - the ATF, how the gun industry used its own “amicus flotilla” from extreme groups to undermine the agency, and how the industry will use this roadmap again. But, please don't despair entirely, you'll also hear from David about hope for the future of gun safety rules.  This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June.
