In this episode, Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. is joined by attorneys Johan Flynn and Kevin Greene to discuss their recent nine-week asbestos trial in California that resulted in a major defense verdict. Johan and Kevin describe how they incorporated CSI's disruptive voir dire techniques into their jury selection strategy, using them to identify unfavorable jurors, plant seeds on critical defense themes, and introduce concepts such as anchoring early in the process. They also share insights on trial strategy, including coordinating with co-defendants, refining opening slides after judicial rulings, and carefully managing cross-examinations. Both emphasize the importance of adapting to surprises during trial and managing their mental and physical health during a lengthy trial. Johan and Kevin credit their success in this trial to the disruptive voir dire approach, which helped them connect with the jurors in a meaningful way, and highlighted how psychological techniques in voir dire can carry through to closing, reactivating juror commitments made during jury selection and directly influencing the final verdict.

The ongoing case of Etienne v. Ferguson raises profound questions about the interplay between religious liberty and state authority, particularly regarding Catholic confession, which centuries-old religious doctrine deems as absolutely confidential. The case challenges Washington's Senate Bill 5375, titled "Concering the duty of clergy to report child abuse and neglect." Does a state mandatory reporter law violate the First Amendment’s religion clauses if it encompasses information learned during the sacrament? Or can the state justify overriding the seal of confession as a necessary and justifiable measure to protect children?This webinar will examine the passage of Washington’s Senate Bill 5375, the historical and theological significance of confession, the constitutional protections afforded by the free exercise and establishment clauses, and the concerns of some that religious practices could be commandeered in service to the state’s police power. The discussion will also address whether the law unconstitutionally targets Catholic clergy and whether the state’s interest in child protection can supersede the religious obligation of priests to maintain absolute confidentiality, under penalty of excommunication.Our guests will consider the delicate relationship between religious liberty and state power in this high-stakes case.Featuring:Matthew Martens, Partner, WilmerHale LLP(Moderator) Hiram Sasser, Executive General Counsel, First Liberty Institute

In this podcast, Jeff talks about his trip to Italy and love of Italians — and notes the many similarities between Italians and Jews and one glaring difference. Italy was great but the constant content making of young people in Capri annoyed him. Only this dopey, lazy mentality could drive the success of Zorhan Mamdani, a Socialist Hamas supporter, in the NYC mayoral race.

Litigation financing is a field that can seem a bit complex, but at its core, it's all about helping people and businesses manage the financial strain that comes with legal battles. In this episode with Eric Schuller, president of the Alliance for Responsible Consumer Legal Funding, we got a clear picture of what consumer legal funding is really about. Unlike commercial litigation financing, which involves large sums of money flowing to law firms or corporations to cover hefty legal fees, consumer legal funding reflects smaller, more direct support. This funding helps everyday people cover their living expenses, think rent, mortgage, groceries, while their legal cases move through the system. Eric emphasized that the money given in consumer legal funding cannot be used to pay for the litigation itself, which is a vital protection designed to keep things transparent and fair.On the flip side, commercial litigation financing is a much bigger beast, mostly involving companies funding lawsuits that can reach into the millions, like patent fights or other business-related disputes. The stakes and amounts are larger, and this sector is often criticized because it sometimes leads to complex conflicts of interest, especially when outside investors start putting money directly into law firms. Eric talked about how these big commercial deals have a vastly different risk profile and payment structure compared to consumer funding. The commercial side tends to have fewer but much larger investments, while consumer legal funding operates on a higher volume of smaller cases, supporting individuals who really need the financial bridge to get through tough times.One of the key challenges discussed is the confusion in legislation that lumps these two types of funding together, which can lead to unfair restrictions and misunderstandings. Eric pointed out that legislation works best when it clearly distinguishes consumer funding from commercial financing. The consumer side is focused on protection and aid, while the commercial side is more about risk investment and business strategy. This clear separation helps protect consumers who rely on these funds for basic needs without hampering the potential regulation and oversight of the commercial financing world. It's a constantly evolving space, with new laws and industry best practices emerging to ensure fairness, transparency, and responsible investment from both sides.Takeaway List:Distinction between consumer legal funding and commercial legal fundingConsumer legal funding supports household needs, not litigation costsCommercial litigation funding involves large sums for business lawsuitsConsumer funding payout comes after attorney and lien paymentsConsumer legal funding started in late 1990s; commercial in early 2000sChapters:00:00 Introduction to Litigation Financing02:00 Overview of Consumer Legal Funding10:00 Differences Between Consumer and Commercial Litigation Funding18:00 Eric Schuller's Insights on Consumer Legal Funding30:00 Legislative Landscape and Consumer Protections40:00 Commercial Litigation Financing Challenges50:00 Disclosure, Regulation, and Industry Future60:00 Role of Insurance and Risk Management70:00 Closing Thoughts on Litigation FinancingConnect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

Trucking defense attorney Doug Marcello joins Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. to discuss the latest in trucking litigation. Doug provides a “state of the union” update on where the industry has been, where it is now, and where it needs to go. They address recent tort reform efforts in states like Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina, and the importance of leveraging those reforms effectively. An important point that Doug and Bill highlight is the continued lack of collaboration among defense attorneys compared to the highly coordinated plaintiff's bar, which continues to share strategies nationwide. Doug and Bill emphasize the need for defense teams to be more proactive, from filing first to secure favorable jurisdictions, to preparing witnesses early, and by using focus groups early to test case themes, witness credibility, and damages strategies before mediation. They highlight the benefits of repeated testing and retesting to refine approaches, rather than relying on gut instincts or past case experience. The discussion also covers the importance of simple, compelling storytelling in openings and closings, counter-anchoring damages with reasonable and well-justified numbers, and making strategic concessions to build credibility with jurors. Doug and Bill stress that winning doesn't always mean a defense verdict — reasonable settlements and mitigation of liability and damages can be victories when approached the right way. Finally, they analyze the Texas Supreme Court's Warner decision, which reaffirmed the necessity of proximate cause in negligence cases and rejected the idea that simply being present at the scene is enough for liability. Both agree that the ruling provides clarity and is a positive outcome for the trucking industry.

 This week, join us as we revisit our episode on the Anti-Subrogation Rule for a refresher! Original Air Date: June 11, 2021. The idea that an insurance company cannot subrogate against its own insureds seems like common sense, but is this a hard-and-fast rule?  What happens when an insurance company tries to seek reimbursement for medical expenses paid to their insured when they also insure the tortfeasor who caused those injuries? What if that insured seeks her own recovery against the tortfeasor for the same medical expenses? What if an insured's intentional act was the cause of serious injuries or death? Does their insurance company have a right to subrogate to recover those amounts from their insured? In this installment in our series, follow Rebecca and Steve as they navigate the anti-subrogation rule and explain why insurance carriers cannot typically subrogate against their own insureds, and when such actions may be permitted.

On July 23, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion that many are regarding as a groundbreaking legal moment for the fight against climate change. But what was included in the actual opinion? What does this mean for the future of climate litigation? And most importantly, what will this mean for the future of climate action? To answer all these questions and more, we talk to Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre, the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She explains how this decision sets a new precedent in international law by recognizing the extensive legal obligations countries have in combating climate change. We explore how the opinion integrates customary international law, human rights, and environmental treaties, offering a robust framework for future climate cases. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre also details the fascinating backstory of how a class project from the University of South Pacific in Vanuatu evolved into a global movement, culminating in this historic opinion. She shares insight into the legal community's reaction, the potential ripple effects on domestic and international cases, and the strengthened legal arguments that could emerge from this decision. We also explore the role science played in informing the court's decision, particularly the emphasis on the 1.5-degree threshold as a legal standard. Finally, we discuss the broader implications for fossil fuel regulation, climate reparations, and the responsibilities of both developed and developing nations. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre is the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She manages the Sabin Center's Global Climate Change Litigation Database with the support of the Sabin Center's Peer Review Network of Climate Litigation.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about the role of juror beliefs and attitudes in voir dire and why they must be treated as distinct concepts. Beliefs are what jurors think (cognitive), while attitudes are how they feel (emotional). Bill emphasizes that while many attorneys stop at/after belief-based questions, it's the follow-up attitude questions that reveal the real risk, since emotions ultimately drive juror decision-making. Bill gives an example of the sequence: start with belief questions such as “Do you think corporations put profits over safety?” and then follow up with attitude questions like “How do you feel about that?” Two jurors may share the same belief but have very different emotional reactions with one seeing it as a natural part of capitalism, while another may express deep distrust. That emotional distinction - the 'why' behind the belief - is where attorneys uncover risky jurors. Bill stresses that attorneys must not be afraid of uncovering negative emotions. In fact, identifying jurors with strong negative attitudes provides valuable opportunities to uncover additional risky jurors by asking who else feels the same way. Help make it easier for jurors to strike themselves. He advises attorneys to normalize negative responses, encourage openness, and use follow-ups, including multiple-choice options, to make it easier for jurors to express themselves. Ultimately, he argues that separating beliefs from attitudes and digging into emotional responses is the key to identifying and striking high-risk jurors.

It's easy to think legal dramas only happen to other people. You're busy juggling tenants, trades, inspections, owners and there's no time to worry about something like litigation. BUT the biggest legal risks in property management often don't come from dramatic incidents. They come from the quiet things, the vague termination letter, the maintenance request that gets lost in the shuffle, the call you meant to return but didn't.Legal issues in property management often come out of nowhere but they don't have to. If you've ever had that gut feeling that something's slipped through the cracks, or you're lying awake wondering if you've covered yourself properly, this episode is for you.In this episode, I share a few hard lessons I've learnt from situations I didn't see coming and how you can protect yourself before they become your reality too. These are the things no one tells you when you start a property management business, but they matter more than you think.“ I believe that transparency is the key. Transparency with your team, transparency with your tenants, transparency with your property owners. Make sure you're regularly checking in with everyone involved and keeping all parties informed of the status of issues. The more you communicate, the less room there is for misunderstandings and complaints.” -Kylie Walker We explore:What happened when I was too “nice” in a termination letter and how it cost me in courtThe maintenance issue that spiralled into a lawsuit even though we didn't engage the tradieWhy your agency can be held liable for things that feel out of your controlHow Office of Fair Trading complaints usually start and what you can do to avoid themThe insurance cover you need and what happens when it's not enoughThe systems I now rely on to reduce risk and catch things before they fall through the cracksWhy ongoing team training and crystal clear communication are non negotiablesKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ https://sensorglobal.com/ HD&U Sales Bundle: https://www.hdandu.com.au/that-property-mum-sales-readiness-bundle-0 Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation -...

In this episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast, Chris Willis is joined by veteran litigators Jason Manning and Carter Nichols to explore litigation implications following the CFPB's withdrawal of nearly 70 pieces of informal guidance earlier this year. The discussion examines how this significant shift impacts private litigation, particularly in cases where courts previously relied on these guidance documents, opening new avenues for legal arguments and challenges in a landscape where statutory interpretation and legal strategy become paramount with opportunities to redefine precedents and discover uncharted legal territories. The episode underscores the evolving nature of consumer finance litigation and the strategic considerations that come with these regulatory changes.

Jeremiah begins with an overview of the facts, explaining the allegations against the defendant and the damages sought by the plaintiff. He describes the mediation process, the plaintiff's settlement demands, and why the case proceeded to trial. Next, Steve and Jeremiah discuss jury selection strategy, including how Jeremiah identified potential pro-defense and pro-plaintiff jurors, developed voir dire questions, and approached strikes.

He explains the role of expert testimony in supporting the defense narrative and how his team handled unexpected developments during trial. Lastly, Jeremiah shares how the jury reacted, the factors that he believes led to the defense win, and his client's reaction to the verdict.

Sometimes, the best evidence to support your subrogation case are records that were created by another company.  Will a court permit these records to be introduced, or are they destined to be barred by the hearsay rule?  Thankfully, the Business Records Doctrine allows a company to enter records previously created by an outside entity into  evidence to prove their case. On this week's episode, Rebecca and Steve discuss what is required to properly introduce these records and how much they can influence a case. Whether invoices, emails or reports from others, find out how these records can become an influential part of a case, and how to determine if your records have the requisite indicia of trustworthiness.

John Quinn is joined by Mohammed Rashik, Founder and CEO of Rain Intelligence, a legal technology company that helps lawyers identify emerging legal needs and find potential clients—to make rain. Rain Intelligence provides AI-powered analysis of data from social media, government filings, e-commerce platforms, and other sources to detect patterns and events that could signal potential class action cases, regulatory issues, or other complex litigation opportunities. The goal is to make business development for lawyers more systematic and data-driven than more traditional, reactive methods.The idea for Rain Intelligence was born from Mohammed's frustration with the lack of tools to help generate clients when starting a solo practice. He began identifying legal issues proactively—such as discovering that a warehouse fire had likely been caused by a neighboring property's code violations—and found this approach led naturally to client engagement. The core insight was that legal needs often follow predictable patterns triggered by real-world events, and those patterns can be identified and scaled using data science.Rain Intelligence delivers daily personalized reports tailored to each attorney's practice areas, clients, and litigation history. These updates synthesize signals from a wide range of data pipelines—such as product labels, product recalls, consumer complaints, Substack articles, government announcements, and class action advertising—to identify high-potential legal opportunities. The opportunities are analyzed to assess the prospects for proving liability, the amount of damages, and the collectability of judgments. The service is subscription-based and is currently used by roughly half of the Am Law Top 10 firms and 20% of the top 200.Mohammed explains how Rain Intelligence pieces together disparate data sets to uncover legal risks that may not be obvious in isolation. For example, labeling a food item “preservative free” while including citric acid, which regulators consider a preservative, could be the basis for a lawsuit when combined with regulatory guidance and recent litigation trends. The technology is built to integrate seamlessly into legal workflows, helping lawyers generate business by doing what they do best—spotting legal issues and advising clients.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Is Your Real Estate Investment at Risk? Understanding ADA Compliance and “Nuisance” Lawsuits ADA compliance is often an afterthought for real estate investors until a lawsuit strikes. Over the past decade, ADA-related litigation has surged by over 300%, with many cases filed over questionable or minor violations. To complicate matters, these lawsuits are increasingly being filed in state courts, creating confusion and escalating risk. In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich speaks with litigation expert Joshua Bachner to uncover how nuisance lawsuits are structured, how courts are reacting, and what investors must do to protect their assets. Key Takeaways: - How opportunistic plaintiffs exploit ADA laws through nuisance lawsuits, targeting real estate owners and filing hundreds of cases with minimal oversight. - Why ADA compliance is interpreted differently across state lines, posing additional risks for investors with multi-state portfolios. - Steps sponsors and investors should take before acquiring properties, including ADA compliance assessments and legal documentation safeguards. - The rising trend of website ADA compliance lawsuits and what real estate firms need to know to mitigate this digital vulnerability. - How improper LLC structuring can expose sponsors and investors to financial risk, and why following corporate formalities is essential. - Litigation trends to watch over the next 12 to 24 months, including the shift of ADA lawsuits from federal courts to state jurisdictions. - Real examples of frivolous lawsuits, such as nonexistent parking lot claims in Manhattan and minor measurement violations used to justify legal action. - The importance of conducting physical site visits before investing to ensure compliance and reduce legal exposure. - Critical advice for sponsors to ensure offering memorandums are specific to each property and legally defensible. - The reality that recovering legal fees from nuisance ADA cases is extremely rare, making preventive strategies all the more important.

In this episode, Jeff returns after a few weeks off — and explains how one press conference in Chicago spiraled into a fabricated international incident with the Mexican government. Representing Ovidio Guzmán (El Chapo's son) became less about legal defense and more about being scapegoated by terrified politicians. In the end, free speech and the truth will always shine through. And the Mexican people?  Jeff notes that his respect for them has grown exponentially.Also covered: Hamas' newest PR strategy — letting Gaza starve while hoarding food in tunnels and filming propaganda videos of emaciated kids (whose fat parents are somehow not starving). The lies grow louder, the propaganda slicker, and yet Western liberal and far-right Jew haters just can't stop blaming Israel and taking it out on Jews. All while the next mayor of NYC will be a Hamas cheerleader who wants government-owned supermarkets and to arrest the Prime Minster of Israel. The downward spiral that began in 2008 nears completion.And finally, Jeff goes full collector mode: a breakdown of the baseball card National Show in Chicago. Too many rooms, too many scammers, but one glorious vintage Orioles cabinet card makes the entire hellscape worth it.

John is joined by Renny Hwang, Deputy General Counsel and Head of Litigation at OpenAI and former Head of Litigation at Google. They discuss the legal issues surrounding AI technology. Renny explains that he believes that existing law is well equipped to deal with copyright, fair use and product liability issues raised by AI, but the challenge the industry faces is that most people do not understand how AI works. He also explains that he believes other legal issues, such as corporate transparency and governance, might require new regulations. John and Renny discuss the likely impact of patent and trade secret law on the AI industry in light of the industry's tendency to publish significant research and findings. They also discuss the effect of the absence of comprehensive federal AI regulation, including the difficulty companies have in to implementing different compliance regimes for different jurisdictions and the possibility that the European AI Act will become the de facto default standard for AI regulation globally. Finally, Renny explains that OpenAI is a mission-driven company focused on building safe and beneficial AI and that commitment is reflected in OpenAI's Board-level Safety Committee.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

John is joined by Brad Karp, Chairman of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.  Brad explains how he led Paul Weiss to diversify its business beginning in the financial crisis of 2008, when its core business of litigation was still highly profitable, to become a global leader in private equity transactions, mergers and acquisitions and financial restructuring as well.  He describes how he approached leading lawyers in these fields and convinced them to join the firm by emphasizing the firm's profitability, reputation, culture, and client base and how each individual would fit into the firm's existing business.  Brad also explains the firm's dramatic expansion in London in the summer of 2023 and why he does not foresee further significant international expansion in the future.  John and Brad then discuss the recent trends in large law firms towards recruiting highly paid superstar lawyers and the growth of salaried or nonequity partners.  They also discuss the major trends they expect to see in the future, including the increasing use of AI within the legal industry, the dramatic rise of litigation and regulatory investigations over the use of AI and the influence of climate change on every area of law practice.  Finally, Brad describes his firm's longtime commitment to actively taking on social justice and pro bono representations and the challenges of handling these engagements in today's increasingly politicized environment.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.
