Podcasts about Legality

Today's episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor podcast offers an in-depth analysis of the unitary executive theory and its implications for terminations by President Trump of the Democratic members/commissioners of several so-called independent Federal agencies.  The episode features Lev Menand, an associate professor of law at Columbia Law School, who provides expert insights into financial institutions and administrative law and the validity of the Trump terminations. Professor Menand discusses the theory that President Trump may exercise complete control over independent federal agencies (which includes such terminations), despite statutes which permit terminations only for cause and a 1935 Supreme Court opinion in Humphries Executor which upheld the constitutionality of the “for cause” limitation on such terminations.  Professor Menand also discusses (i) the stay orders issued by the Supreme Court which have frozen preliminary injunctions issued by lower courts in litigation initiated by the terminated individuals which required the reinstatement of Democratic members of two agencies who had been fired by Trump and (ii) the dictum in such stay orders saying that the reasoning behind the stay orders  does not apply to the members of the Federal Reserve Board. This episode builds on another podcast released by Consumer Finance Monitor on July 10 featuring Patrick Sobkowski of Marquette University. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

In this Geek Freaks episode, we celebrate Spiderman Day by discussing the live-action Spider-Man films, Tom Holland's new suit, and the ongoing shoot in Glasgow. The conversation then shifts to the future of the Hulk storyline in the MCU, speculation on God of War and Wolfenstein TV adaptations, and the potential for a Star Trek “Year One” series. We dive into the legality of fan art after recent Pokémon TCG drama, and our hosts share their picks for the best movies, games, comics, and TV shows so far in 2025. Tune in for an engaging discussion that blends nostalgia with fresh perspectives, complete with listener recommendations and a sneak preview of what's coming next. Timestamped Topics Time Topic 00:00:00–00:00:21 Introduction: Celebrating Spiderman Day and upcoming topics 00:01:37–00:02:44 Live-action Spider-Man rankings; Tobey Maguire vs. Tom Holland vs. Andrew Garfield 00:04:45–00:07:31 Behind the scenes of Spider-Man filming: New suit, Tony Stark tech, and potential nostalgic callbacks 00:07:31–00:12:17 Hulk's role in the upcoming Spider-Man film and possible MCU storylines 00:15:17–00:19:09 Amazon's God of War adaptation: Norse mythology focus and game-to-TV transition 00:21:37–00:22:23 Wolfenstein TV series speculation and Amazon's track record after Fallout 00:23:32–00:31:07 Star Trek “Year One” concept and the future of Strange New Worlds 00:31:07–00:39:28 Mid-show break: Listener poll results, favorite live-action Spidey, and comic conventions 00:41:00–00:51:20 Best of 2025 so far: Movies, animated movies, video games, and comics 00:55:02–01:04:47 Legality of fan art: Pokémon TCG controversy and a deeper discussion on copyright 01:04:47–01:13:42 Recommendations: Hello Kitty's “My Melody and Kuromi” series and the wholesome Dropout show “Game Changer” 01:13:42–end Wrap up: Thanking listeners, inviting questions, and previewing the next episode   Key Takeaways Live-Action Spider-Man Debate: Tobey Maguire remains a nostalgic favorite, but the hosts note that Tom Holland's portrayal captures the youthful energy of the comics. Andrew Garfield's films still deserve a watch for a fresh perspective. Spider-Man Day Preview: Filming for the new movie is underway in Glasgow and Pinewood Studios. The new suit seen in set photos may just be an early version; expect a Stark Tech upgrade later on. Hulk in the MCU: The show explores theories about bringing a “classic Hulk” back. If Bruce Banner loses control, it could set up a “Hulk vs. Punisher” scenario in the next Spider-Man film. God of War Adaptation: Amazon's series is confirmed to draw on the 2018 Norse storyline. The hosts hope to see Kratos' Greek mythology past referenced through flashbacks and deeper character development. Wolfenstein & Fallout Success: Wolfenstein could take a campy, bullet-heavy approach similar to Amazon's Fallout. The show creators hope Amazon will continue its good run of game adaptations. Star Trek Year One: A “year one” approach could explore how the Enterprise crew originally formed. The hosts support revisiting nostalgia without rehashing the original 1960s series, as long as the focus remains on character building. Fan Art and Copyright: After a Pokémon TCG card was accused of copying fan art, the discussion highlights how fan art technically violates copyright and can't be claimed if used without permission. Nintendo and Disney have strict policies, while Blizzard and Riot Games encourage fan creations. Best of 2025 (so far): The hosts rave about “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Sinners” as standout films, with special love for “K-Pop Demon Hunters” and “Leo.” Games like “Death Stranding 2” and “Oblivion Remastered” shine, and comics such as “Sandman,” “Thing,” and “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” capture the imagination. Wholesome Recommendations: From the adorable stop-motion Netflix series “My Melody & Kuromi” to the heartwarming “Game Changer” episode awarding $100,000, the show encourages viewers to find comfort in small joys. Quotes “It's hard not to pick Tobey Maguire, but Tom Holland plays the outnumbered kid that's right off the page.” – Frank “I always wanted a smart Hulk—but not a Hulk who refuses to smash.” – Squeaks “Amazon's adaptations are killing it. Between Fallout and what's in store for God of War, I think fans have a lot to look forward to.” – Frank “If we see Hulk, Punisher, and Spider-Man all fighting in the same film, something has to be out of control.” – Squeaks “Fandoms are passionate, but remember that fan art is technically derivative. It falls into a grey area unless the rights holder chooses to pursue it.” – Frank Call to Action Love what you hear?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that Civility, in one of its meanings, is among the most valuable social virtues: the skill to discuss topics that really matter to you, with someone who disagrees and yet somehow still get along. In another of its meanings, when Civility describes the limits of behaviour that is acceptable, the idea can reflect society at its worst: when only those deemed 'civil enough' are allowed their rights, their equality and even their humanity. Between these extremes, Civility is a slippery idea that has fascinated philosophers especially since the Reformation, when competing ideas on how to gain salvation seemed to make it impossible to disagree and remain civil.With Teresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory at Oriel College, University of OxfordPhil Withington Professor of History at the University of SheffieldAnd John Gallagher Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of LeedsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Teresa M.

Welcome to "AI Lawyer Talking Tech," where we explore the profound shifts artificial intelligence is bringing to the legal profession. AI is transforming legal work, from alleviating burnout and enhancing communication to opening new career avenues for legal professionals. New tools are automating a variety of routine tasks, allowing lawyers to dedicate more time to strategic, higher-value work. This rapid evolution, however, presents a complex landscape of considerations, particularly concerning ethics, data privacy, accuracy, and the integrity of legal information. Today, we'll delve into how legal education is adapting to integrate AI skills, with some law schools now even requiring the use of generative AI for application essays, how firms are seeking to measure its true value and return on investment, and the essential steps required for its responsible and compliant implementation within the legal sphere.New Study Finds AI is Addressing The Human Issues in Legal: Burnout, Communication, and Career Opportunities21 Jul 2025Metro Atlanta CEOLexisNexis launches Protégé to help UK lawyers to complete legal tasks more easily and efficiently21 Jul 2025Legal FuturesHow Enterprise Legal Teams Can Track The ROI Of Their AI Tools21 Jul 2025Forbes.comPanel floats limits for artificial intelligence in Georgia courtrooms as odd cases pop up elsewhere21 Jul 2025Yahoo!

President Trump has the stage at NATO. How the Iran missile launch onto the U.S. base went down. The consensus on the Iranian strikes seems to be that a lot of damage was done on that country's nuclear sites. Not shocking: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) doesn't understand simple terms. A vice mayor in California is urging gangs to push back on federal immigration authorities. "Alligator Alcatraz" is apparently happening in Florida! Zohran Mamdani is an unabashed Marxist, so good luck, New York City! Would Israel's prime minister be arrested in a Mamdani-run NYC? The endless wasteful ways our tax dollars are being spent around the world. Iran claims victory over the U.S. Kari Lake destroys Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.).

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 법 밖의 삶| The Legality of Surrogacy - The Grey Area We Didn't Know | Episode 19 (2025)Five beautiful episodes. Seven amazing guests and several deeply personal stories.Sùúrùgate has reached its final chapter, and I can't help but feel proud of the ground we've covered. We've peeled back the layers of infertility, parenthood, and the deeply intimate journey of surrogacy, giving voice to those often left out of the conversation. As we wrap this powerful series, we take a bold turn into a topic that's rarely discussed: the legal realities of surrogacy in Nigeria.In this must-listen episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Lawyer Gbenga Adebisi, who brings unmatched clarity to Nigeria's current surrogacy landscape, one that remains largely undefined by law. Gbenga walks us through the murky legal framework (or better put, the lack of one) and offers critical insight into why treating surrogacy as just a contract is not only misguided but potentially dangerous. His words surprised me, and they just might shift your perspective, too.We unpack the fundamental question: Is surrogacy even legal in Nigeria? The answer is not what most people think. Gbenga explains how the absence of federal legislation leaves all parties—intended parents, surrogates, and especially the children—exposed and unprotected. He also highlights the often-exploitative systems in place that leave surrogate mothers underserved, unsupported, and without recourse.If you've ever considered surrogacy, know someone who has, or simply care about protecting the most vulnerable in society, this episode is for you. You'll walk away with practical insight into how to navigate this complex terrain more responsibly, even in the absence of clear legal guidelines.But more than that, I hope this episode ignites something deeper—a call to advocate for comprehensive legal reform in Nigeria. Surrogacy should not operate in the shadows. Every child deserves legal clarity. Every surrogate deserves dignity. Every family deserves protection.So please, don't just listen—understand. Share this episode widely. Let's raise our voices and push for a future where surrogacy in Nigeria is guided not just by hope, but by justice.

Does it matter?A brand, a label, a name, the words applied to people, places, or things change how an audience feels, and influences outcomes.“Call me Ishmael”, “deadnaming”, or try using the wrong place-name depending on what bank of the River Foyle in Northern Ireland you find yourself, and see how that goes. On the other hand, if your company so dominates your category that your brand becomes a verb, like Hoover. But in the internet age the process happens much faster — see Google, Uber, Tinder.As for people and companies, a tricker object is a whole category. Successfully dominating a category - even if you have to invent one - is, according to Silicon Valley investors like Peter “Competition is for Losers” Thiel, the only type of strategy worth pursuing. And often that will involve getting the name of the category right - some magical combination of things already in the zeitgeist, something that chimes with the audience/customer/media without them consciously knowing why.The idea of whether businesses are in a category called “cleantech” or “climate tech” or “defence tech” or “fintech” does matter, I'd argue.So I asked Art Lapinsch, a startup founder with a successful exit turned climate communications guru and energy lawyer. Now writing a lot of smart stuff on the subject in his new consultancy Delphi Zero, I wanted to return to the “is ‘climate tech' dead?” debate.But Lapinsch's bio itself would be enough to want to hear him - going from fleeing civil war in the former Yugoslavia to adtech startup founder to turning to climate solutions ventures and how they should tell their stories. You're going to enjoy getting to know him. I certainly did. And he was a good sport when dog-related imminent disaster required putting him on hold for a minute. Don't worry.

We've been focusing on the dynamics of democratic backsliding in the United States and beyond. In this episode of Postscript: Conversations on Politics and Political Science, Susan talks the co-founder and co-director of the Democratic Erosion Consortium, Dr. Robert Blair about how the Consortium offers FREE resources to teachers, students, journalists, policy makers, and any interested person – including shared syllabus, readings, assignments, YouTube virtual roundtables, and policy briefs. Rob defines democratic erosion and offers critical insights on the importance of interdisciplinarity, calibrating outrage, and distinguishing between policy disputes and the erosion of democracy. He offers a clear-headed analysis of what is legal v. what breaks down democracy that is not to be missed. We conclude with thoughts on what everyone can do protect democracy. Dr. Robert Blair is Associate Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs at Brown University and co-founder and co-director of the Democratic Erosion Consortium. He studies the consolidation of state authority after civil war, with an emphasis on rule of law and security institutions, as well as the causes and consequences of democratic backsliding. His book, Peacekeeping, Policing, and the Rule of Law after Civil War, was published in 2020 with Cambridge University Press and his articles appear in political science outlets such as American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and International Organization but also science journals such as Science, Nature Human Behaviour, or Current Opinion in Psychology.

In Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights (Duke University Press 2024), Lara Montesinos Coleman blends ethnography, political philosophy, and critical theory to reorient debates on human rights through attention to understandings of legality, ethics, and humanity in anticapitalist and decolonial struggle. Drawing on her extensive involvement with grassroots social movements in Colombia, Coleman observes that mainstream expressions of human rights have become counterparts to capitalist violence, even as this discourse disavows capitalism's deadly implications. She rejects claims that human rights are inherently tied to capitalism, liberalism, or colonialism, instead showing how human rights can be used to combat these forces. Coleman demonstrates that social justice struggles that are rooted in marginalized communities' lived experiences can reframe human rights in order to challenge oppressive power structures and offer a blueprint for constructing alternative political economies. By examining the practice of redefining human rights away from abstract universals and contextualizing them within concrete struggles for justice, Coleman reveals the transformative potential of human rights and invites readers to question and reshape dominant legal and ethical narratives. Lara Montesinos Coleman is Professor of International Law, Ethics and Political Economy at the University of Sussex, where she also teaches on the MA in Human Rights. She is author of Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights, published by Duke University Press in 2024 and shortlisted for the Susan Strange Best Book Prize, awarded for an outstanding book published in any field of International Studies.

This principle has also been codified in various treaties, including the 1974 Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. This convention was adopted in response to the Titanic disaster and mainly focuses on safety on board of commercial ships. But the most vulnerable people at sea nowadays clearly are irregular migrants, sailing by rubber boats rather than cruise ships. Formally, these migrants are also protected by the non-refoulement principle under refugee and human rights law. Yet in practice, they are subject to a politics of protection which operates through an intermeshing of different legal regimes. Moreover, the rubber boats play a crucial role in this politics of protection, and ultimately preclude the irregular migrants from the protection of the non-refoulement principle. Through the case of the rubber boat, as a transnational legal encounter of people, rules and objects, I investigate the uneven geographies and temporalities of international law as an everyday practice. Moreover, by paying critical attention to how objects participate in actualising certain sets of relations and potentials over others, the concept of transnational legal encounters enables us to critically re-think the production of meanings, legalities and politics, layering complexities to law's work in and to the world.Tanja Aalberts is Professor of Law and Politics at the department of Transnational Legal Studies, VU Amsterdam. She is the author of 'Constructing Sovereignty between Politics and Law' (Routledge, 2012), co-author of 'The Changing Practices of International Law' (CUP, 2018) and co-edited 'The Power of Legality. Practices of International Law and their Politics' (CUP, 2016). Her work on the interplay between politics and law within global governance, misrecognition, colonial treaties and interdisciplinarity has been published in various journals and handbooks in International Law and International Relations. She was a founding board member of the European International Studies Association, and editor of the Leiden Journal of International Law. She currently is series editor for Voices in IR with Oxford University Press and member of the Advisory Council International Affairs for the Dutch government. Her current research focuses on transnational legal encounters and the aesthetics of international law. She is also doing archival research and writing a book on the Peace Palace as the first building of the international community.https://www.lcil.cam.ac.uk/press/events/2025/05/friday-lecture-rubber-boats-transnational-legal-encounters-mediterranean-prof-tanja-aalberts-vu

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson speaks with NPR's Elissa Nadworny to unpack the Trump administration's efforts to withhold federal funding from colleges and universities over issues like antisemitism and DEI practices. They discuss how these unprecedented moves are impacting not campus life, but vital medical and scientific research nationwide. Elissa explains the legal challenges schools like Harvard are mounting in response, the stakes involved for the entire higher education sector, and the broader implications for public policy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Federal Funding as a Lever in Higher Education Policy: The episode opens by surveying recent actions from the Trump administration regarding federal funding for colleges and universities. The administration is using financial levers—pausing, freezing, or cutting funds—to influence policies on campus, particularly tied to issues like DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antisemitism. Mechanisms and Legality of Federal Control: The speakers discuss how and why the administration has the power to control this funding. The complexities of federal funding—who controls the purse strings, when Congress vs. the executive branch has authority, and what legal mechanisms are at play—come up. The episode highlights that while presidents can make funding conditional, the legality often hinges on whether proper procedures are followed (Administrative Procedures Act), not just on broad authority.Who Really Loses When Funds Are Cut: The speakers emphasize that federal research dollars are not just about student amenities—they fund major scientific, medical, and technological research. The implications of large-scale cuts ripple well beyond campuses, potentially hurting national health, technological innovation, and local economies (since universities are major employers and research hubs).Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

​The CIA is currently evaluating its legal authority to conduct drone strikes against Mexican drug cartels, following the Trump administration's designation of several cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This designation potentially expands the CIA's counterterrorism tools, allowing for covert operations similar to those used against groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS. While no drone strikes have been ordered yet, the CIA has been conducting surveillance flights over Mexico with the country's approval, gathering intelligence on cartel operations. The administration is exploring the use of Title 50 to authorize covert CIA missions, which would bypass the need for military engagement under Title 10.However, this potential shift in U.S. strategy has raised concerns in Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has firmly stated that Mexico would reject any unilateral military action by the United States on its soil, emphasizing that such measures would not solve the issue of drug trafficking and would violate Mexico's sovereignty. Additionally, a top Pentagon official clarified that the U.S. military lacks the authority to carry out drone strikes against drug cartels in Mexico, despite the FTO designation. The official noted that while the designation supports a broader governmental strategy against drug trafficking, it does not legally grant the military strike capabilities.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:CIA is reviewing its authorities to use lethal force against drug cartels | CNN Politics

Autonomy and self-determination for all individuals cannot be realized and sustained unless true within every person. Enslavement and dehumanization remain true of citizens of imperial nations so long as they remain true for colonized peoples. This week's episode explores the contradictions between stated commitments to human rights and actions in Western and post-colonial societies.

Kyle Hamilton and NFL News! Chris Long reacts to the recent news around the NFL as the league moves closer to their beginning year. The San Francisco 49ers trade Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders as Jayden Daniels gains a trusted wide receiver to continue his accession in the NFL. Despite rumors that Matthew Stafford would help elsewhere for this upcoming season, the Rams can't quit their QB. Stafford stays put in LA for another year with McVay. And most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles have Darius Slay to save some cap space. Could Slay sign elsewhere or could he end up back in Philly on a new deal? And then, Kyle Hamilton joins Chris in a recorded interview from New Orleans during Super Bowl week. The fellas cover the Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson's leadership, Derrick Henry as a Raven, Kyle's defensive abilities and his developing pass rush moves as well as the best young QBs and WRs in the NFL.

On Jan. 28, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent out an email offering a “deferred resignation program” to over 2 million federal employees, encouraging them to resign effective Sept. 30. The offer is only open until Feb. 6—and in the intervening days since OPM announced the program, federal employees have received a blizzard of followup emails offering confusing and rapidly changing information. Writing in Lawfare, Nick Bednar has examined the OPM offer and raised questions about whether federal employees who take this option will be able to seek legal recourse if their contract is not paid out. On the podcast, Bednar, an associate professor of law at the University of Minnesota, joined Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic to walk through the many legal issues raised by the program and how federal employees are handling this period of uncertainty.We value your feedback!

This episode is a fan favorite that was originally published as Episode 476. We hope that you have a happy and safe holiday!When musician Bobby Mackey opened Bobby Mackey's Music World in 1978, he had hoped for nothing more than to open a small nightclub where audiences could enjoy the traditional country music he had devoted his life to for decades. Yet before the club was even opened, it was apparent to Bobby, his wife Janet, and manager Carl that whatever the new night club was going to be, it would be anything but normal.In the decades since it opened, Bobby Mackey's Music World has gained a reputation, not just as a one of Kentucky's enduring country western clubs, but as one of America's supposedly most haunted locations. Indeed, Bobby Mackey's is said to be the home of several spirits whose lives revolved around, and in some cases ended on the property, including the ghosts of a lovesick showgirl, a headless pregnant woman, and the two Satan-worshipping men who took her head.Thank you to the glorious David White for research assistance :)ReferencesAssociated Press. 1978.
