This Day in Legal History:  Frederic William Maitland BornOn this day in legal history, May 28, 1850, Frederic William Maitland was born in London. Maitland would go on to become one of the most influential legal historians of the 19th century, widely regarded as the father of modern English legal history. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, Maitland initially studied moral sciences before turning to the law. He was called to the bar in 1876 but soon found his true calling in historical scholarship. In 1888, he was appointed Downing Professor of the Laws of England at Cambridge, a post he held until his death in 1906.Maitland's most enduring contribution came through his collaboration with Sir Frederick Pollock on The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I, published in 1895. This seminal work remains a cornerstone of English legal historiography, notable for its rigorous use of original sources and its narrative clarity. Maitland brought a historian's eye to legal development, emphasizing the role of institutions and the evolution of legal ideas over time. His scholarship reshaped the understanding of English common law, highlighting its medieval roots and its organic, often non-linear, development.Beyond his academic writings, Maitland played a critical role in editing and publishing primary legal texts, including year books and medieval court rolls, through his work with the Selden Society, of which he was a founding member. His meticulous editing practices set new standards for legal historical methodology. Despite a relatively short life—he died at 56—Maitland's intellectual legacy continues to influence the study of common law traditions worldwide.A federal judge ruled that a lawsuit brought by 14 states against Elon Musk and the federal agency DOGE could proceed, while dismissing claims against President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan found that the states had presented a plausible argument that Musk's aggressive cost-cutting measures lacked legal authorization, though she emphasized that courts cannot interfere with a president's official duties.The lawsuit, initiated in February by attorneys general from states including Oregon and New Mexico, argues that Musk has been given sweeping, unchecked authority over federal operations without Senate confirmation or congressional authorization. The states contend this violates constitutional requirements, as Musk has not been formally appointed or confirmed for any federal office.DOGE, a newly formed government efficiency agency led by Musk, has been rapidly eliminating jobs and programs deemed wasteful, sparking significant legal pushback. Since its inception under Trump's second-term reforms, roughly 20 related lawsuits have emerged, with courts issuing mixed rulings. Critics argue the agency operates outside constitutional bounds, while supporters claim it is essential to fiscal reform.US judge allows states' lawsuit against DOGE to proceed | ReutersA federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order against law firm WilmerHale was unconstitutional, marking the third time courts have rejected such orders targeting legal opponents. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon concluded that Trump's order retaliated against WilmerHale for hiring Robert Mueller, violating the firm's rights to free speech and due process. Mueller, a former special counsel, led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—a probe Trump has long criticized.The executive order sought to strip WilmerHale's attorneys of security clearances, ban the firm from federal buildings, and block its clients from receiving government contracts. Judge Leon described the move as a “staggering punishment” that undermined the firm's ability to function and penalized it for protected political expression. WilmerHale celebrated the ruling, asserting that it upholds critical constitutional principles.This decision follows similar rulings by Judges Beryl Howell and John Bates, who struck down Trump's executive orders targeting Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block, respectively. A fourth ruling is pending regarding Susman Godfrey. The Department of Justice has defended the orders, insisting they fall within the president's authority, and may appeal Leon's decision.Some firms, such as Paul Weiss and Latham & Watkins, reached agreements with the Trump administration to avoid penalties by pledging nearly $1 billion in pro bono services. These deals have sparked concern within the legal industry, with critics warning they reflect dangerous capitulation to political pressure.Judge bars Trump order against law firm tied to Robert Mueller | ReutersWilmerHale Wins Quick Ruling Against Trump's Executive Order (2)U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman temporarily blocked the Trump administration from rescinding federal approval and funding related to New York City's congestion pricing program. The judge's order came just one day before the U.S. Department of Transportation, under Secretary Sean Duffy, was set to begin withholding environmental approvals and project funds from the city and state. The Trump administration had revoked the program's federal green light in February, arguing it unfairly burdened drivers and lacked a free highway alternative. New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), sued to stop the federal rollback, calling the move politically motivated and unconstitutional.The congestion pricing program, which began in January, charges most vehicles $9 during peak hours to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. Designed to reduce traffic and fund transit improvements, the initiative has shown clear signs of success in its first 100 days. Traffic congestion has dropped significantly, with up to 6 million fewer cars entering lower Manhattan compared to the same period a year ago. Commutes through bottlenecks like the Holland Tunnel have seen delays cut by nearly half, and traffic-related injuries in the zone have also declined by about 50%.Other measurable benefits include a 70% drop in complaints about excessive car-honking and improved bus speeds to the point that some drivers have to slow down to stay on schedule. Economic indicators like Broadway ticket sales and pedestrian foot traffic are up, suggesting that the tolls haven't deterred business as critics warned. Public transit ridership has also increased, particularly on the LIRR and Metro-North, reinforcing that many former drivers are switching to trains.Despite early skepticism and political backlash—including Trump's own social media mockery of the program—the numbers show that congestion pricing is working. The MTA expects to raise about $500 million this year, funding upgrades like subway elevators, electric buses, and the next phase of the Second Avenue Subway. While final legal outcomes remain uncertain, for now, both traffic and funding are moving in the right direction.US judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from killing New York congestion program | ReutersHow Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [Fiction] A Confession, published by Arjun Panickssery on April 19, 2024 on LessWrong. This morning while taking the LIRR to the city I performed first aid on a man who had been shot through the window of my carriage. "Is he going to die?" his girlfriend asked me. "We're all going to die." A long pause. "I mean - is he going to die right now?" "Probably not." Probably he didn't die. I got off at Jamaica Station while he stayed on (he was unconscious) so I don't know. I didn't want to be questioned at length as a witness since it was my day off. I continued toward a barbershop I like. There wasn't any reason for me to stay. A similar case of accidental gunfire into the train was in the news a while back. I guess also since it's Saturday the workweek is over so it likely wasn't any organized criminal act. As I was passing Kew Gardens a stranger in a torn windbreaker pulled me suddenly to the side. "I have committed a terrible crime: a murder. No one suspects me. Only you know the truth. This is my name and address." He pushed a small business card into the breast pocket of my coat and walked away. Initially I supposed that I could turn him in to the police. A few reasons presented themselves immediately. First, it could be considered morally appropriate to denounce him to the authorities for the sake of justice. Second, a naïve interpretation suggested that he wanted me to turn him in, since otherwise he wouldn't have confessed his crime to me. Third, a failure on my part to denounce him could present the possibility in the minds of concerned parties that I was his accomplice. But walking through Forest Park with disregard for the operating hours of my barbershop, I considered the opposing evidence. First, I could be exposing myself to some kind of danger or unforeseen trap. Second, I might lack the conviction for treachery. This man entrusted me - and me alone - with such a secret. Already I walked among my fellow citizens with a newfound transgressive thrill. I resigned myself to the fate of my co-conspirator, whether arrest and punishment or criminal victory, the goal and outcome of which I knew nothing Again and again I reversed my position for some hours. Such always has been the nightmare of my life with its interminable indecisiveness and hesitation. Very little new was discovered within my mind during this time, but only the relevant weights of the different reasons shifted in my brain. Halfway across the park I saw a little Pomeranian carrying a big stick, maybe five or six times his own length. It pleased him very much to carry it with him. But I pitied him for his ignorance because I knew that it would never fit through his doorway. His master was dressed for work and held a phone to his ear to argue about some investment that frustrated him. At length he exclaimed that he didn't know why he even continued to work after the success he has had. My new companion and I passed some chess hustlers seated behind their tables. I don't think they usually have chess hustlers at Forest Park. But there were three older men behind their chessboards smoking cigarettes and occasionally defeating passersby and collecting small bills. Our dog-walker was interested in a match but soured when he discovered that the hustlers didn't want to bet on the outcome of the game. Instead they wanted to be paid $5 for a single round of speed chess regardless of outcome. It's the same in Manhattan. But their would-be customer complained. "If we pay you no matter what, what does it matter to you whether you play any good?" he protested. The old man behind the chessboard only replied, "The same thing could be said about your life." Profound! With the dog-walker dismissed I realized a potential solution to my problem. The main obstacle in my mind was that I might be bound by some ethical ru...

We talked about meeting our new boss, Ryan Hurley. He said he's going to take the LIRR in and then the subway. Dua Lipa is going to host SNL and be the musical guest on May 4. So she has to be in NYC and the morning show at WNEW owes us a Dua Lipa guest spot. C-lo returns for his final update of the morning, but first the Jets have new uniforms. They look just like the old uniforms according to Jerry, Al and Eddie. C-Lo has the sounds from yesterday's Knicks game as they are now the number two seed. Scottie Scheffler won the Masters and Tiger Woods ended up having a terrible weekend. The Moment of The Day involves Darryl Strawberry not looking like ‘a heart attack guy' according to Al. In the final segment of the show, the Sixers unveiled an Allen Iverson statue that is quite small.

Hour 1 Boomer is out today as he's getting a colonoscopy, so Jerry is in for him. We start with the Knicks, getting the number two seed in the NBA playoffs. They will play the winner of the Sixers/Heat play-in game. Jalen Brunson really should be in the running for MVP. There isn't a team in the East that the Knicks can't beat. C-Lo is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds from the Knicks win against the Bulls. Gio wonders what C-Lo's strategy will be with the new program director. The Yankees lost to the Guardians 8-7, but the Yanks did win the series. Anthony Rizzo is having problems in the field this year. Nestor Cortes tried some weird fake delivery yesterday. The Mets won their third straight series, beating the Royals yesterday. We heard from Doc Gooden as he got his number retired yesterday. Jerry said the content of the speech was weird. And Scottie Scheffler won the Masters. In the final segment of the hour, we are naming our new program director this morning and Boomer's getting a colonoscopy. A caller has some questions about the new PD. We also talked about Scottie Scheffler's last 4 PGA tour tournaments after winning the Masters yesterday.  Hour 2 Doc Gooden had his number retired at Citi Field yesterday, and Gio was happy to see he seems to be physically and mentally in a good state. Gio has done appearances with him in the past where that wasn't the case. Gio wishes it was later in the season so more people would be there. It was also the Sunday of the Masters. We also talked about places similar to Hooters. Places like Canz, Mugs & Jugs, Bazookas and Fun Bags. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the Knicks winning yesterday and becoming the #2 seed. The Yankees lost to the Guardians but won the series. The Mets beat the Royals and won their third straight series. In the final segment of the hour, Al tries to name all of the 86 Mets that are in the picture with Gooden from yesterday.  Hour 3 We finally figured out who the other guys are in the picture with all of the 86 Mets who showed up for Doc Gooden's number retirement. A caller is happy the Knicks won't have to play the Celtics until the finals. We took a look at the odds for the NBA Championship. C-Lo returns for an update but first Gio was talking about how much of a Mets fan he was. He said after they lost the last game at Shea everything changed for him. Then Gio went to Pittsburgh. We also told stories about former Mets media relations guy, Jay Horwitz. C-Lo has some censored F-bombs that were flying all over sports broadcasts this weekend. In the final segment of the hour, our new Program Director, Ryan Hurley, joins us in studio.  Hour 4 We talked about meeting our new boss, Ryan Hurley. He said he's going to take the LIRR in and then the subway. Dua Lipa is going to host SNL and be the musical guest on May 4.

Our patreon people picked this minor Woody Allen movie. Can't say here if it still works but we can mention that the women are all age appropriate and nobody wants to bed an underage child.so that's different from Woody's usual fare.

As I started podcasting my fiancée broke the news of an Earthquake hitting Port Washington, as reports flooded in I realized I did not feel a thing on the LIRR!

Videos of women sharing stories of being assaulted on streets in Manhattan are trending on TikTok. WNYC's Giulia Heyward has more. Also, the Department of Transportation recently approved the use of longer e-cargo bikes to take the place of traditional large delivery trucks. The approved bikes are pedal-assist electric bikes that look like mini trucks and take only one person to operate. Finally, Long Island Rail Road customers are enjoying expanded service thanks to the Third Track project completed in 2022. But building that additional track to relieve one of New York's worst transit bottlenecks wasn't easy. A new report in Newsday finds that the MTA spent $20 million on projects in Nassau County that had nothing to do with the LIRR to shore up support for the project. WNYC's Sean Carlson speaks with reporters Alfonso Castillo and Darwin Yanes who broke the news.

I'm back from a weekend in the Hamptons, where I screamed through dinner with the Fallons and had a bit of an awkward moment with our nanny. Plus, I had the pleasure of cleaning Lucy's vomit while pulled over on the LIRR. (Shoutout to anyone who saw me near Exit 70!) Later in the week, John Hill embraced his inner Larsa Pippen and Ben had a more successful Housewife encounter. For more interviews and behind-the-scenes tea, tune in to Andy Cohen Live weekdays on Radio Andy by subscribing to SiriusXM.

Episode 72 Eve Wilkowitz20 year old Eve Wilkowitz's life was all coming together during the first few days of spring, 1980. She had a job she loved and a new boyfriend. Her daily commute into Manhattan from Bay Shore, Long Island was long, but Eve had plans to move into the city. Someone took all that away from her. After boarding the last LIRR train from the city to Long Island, Eve vanished. Her loved ones were frantic for three days, and their worst fears came true when she turned up dead in the backyard of a nearby home. Police turned her complicated love life upside down, and left no stone unturned. Their theory that Eve's abductor and murderer was a neighbor was correct – but they would not know that for decades to come.For all things DNA: ID, visit the show's homepage:DNAIDpodcast.comTo Support DNA: ID on Patreon, visit this link:https://www.patreon.com/DNAIDTo buy DNA ID Merch, visit this link:https://www.customizedgirl.com/s/dnaidpodcastFollow DNA: ID on Social Mediaon Twitter at- https://twitter.com/DNAIDPodcaston Facebook at- https://www.facebook.com/DNA-ID-True-Crime-Podcast-103667495017418on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dnaidpodcast/This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4720335/advertisement
