One year ago, U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta held that “Google is a monopolist and has acted as one to maintain its monopoly”, and, in doing so, violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act. On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, Judge Mehta’s remedy decision rejected the United States’ request for structural relief and indicated only limited conduct and behavioral requirements were appropriate to address any past effect of Google’s conduct and to protect competition going forward. Does either party have substantive grounds to expect an appellate court to reverse Judge Mehta’s liability and remedy decision? Is the remedy decision consistent with the liability decision (and vice-versa)? What are the next steps to implementing the remedy decision? What is the likely impact of Judge Mehta’s liability and remedy decisions on Google, monopolization law, and the Government’s anti-monopoly agenda. Please join our body of expert lawyers for a discussion of these and other related questions.Featuring:Alden F.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. and Steve Wood, Ph.D. discuss the most common mistakes attorneys make during litigation touching on jury research, voir dire, direct examination, openings, and closings. Bill and Steve stress that in jury research, confirmation bias is a major pitfall and attorneys often dismiss unfavorable results instead of using them to prepare for trial. They also highlight how waiting too long to conduct research is another mistake, as early testing reveals vulnerabilities before they become entrenched. In voir dire, many attorneys aren't vulnerable with jurors and also don't go deep enough with their questioning. Bill and Steve argue that opening up personally with jurors and going deeper on their responses helps identify problematic jurors and builds credibility. On direct examination, they caution against long, unfocused testimony, irrelevant background questions, and overly broad prompts that cause witnesses to ramble. Openings should avoid lengthy introductions and dense slide decks, instead focusing on clear, simple storytelling that doesn't overload jurors cognitively. Lastly, in closing arguments, they remind defense counsel that the goal is not to change minds but to equip favorable jurors with tools for deliberations.

Insurance. It's something we all pay for and hope we never need. But behind the scenes, it's a world of evolving risks, high-stakes litigation, and technology that's changing faster than the laws that govern it.In this episode of the Emerging Litigation Podcast, I interview Jeremy Moseley, partner at Spencer Fane in Denver, Colorado. Jeremy defends mass and class actions involving insurance regulations, healthcare, consumer products, and more. He's seen firsthand how automation, AI, and climate change are presenting new risks — and he's here to share what's coming next.We talk about how technology that makes claims handling faster and easier is now fueling lawsuits. How customized policies, while great for consumers, can leave dangerous gaps. And how juries today are awarding damages that would've seemed outrageous just a few years ago.Jeremy explains “social inflation” and the rise of thermonuclear verdicts—why $20 million doesn't sound like much anymore, and how insurers can push back with reality-based defense strategies. He also dives into climate change, shifting storm patterns, and how unprepared infrastructure are creating new underwriting challenges.And yes, we talk about Dr. Evil, and Ecclesiastes, and my horse Jefferson from a dude ranch vacation in Colorado.This episode is a warning, a guide, and a conversation about the future of insurance litigation. Jeremy's insights are sharp, timely, and grounded in real-world experience. If you work in insurance, law, or just want to understand how emerging risks are reshaping the world around us, this one's for you.Thanks to Jeremy Moseley for joining us.Tom HagyHost, The Emerging Litigation Podcast

In today's episode, we delve into how AI is rapidly reshaping legal practices, from enhancing operational efficiency and boosting profitability to redefining client acquisition and document management. We'll discuss the significant surge in AI adoption across the legal profession, with a majority of lawyers now embracing tools like generative AI to increase billable work and achieve a better work-life balance. This era is seeing the rise of "hybrid lawyers" who leverage AI to move beyond repetitive tasks, focusing instead on critical thinking and strategic legal analysis. While innovations like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) promise seamless interoperability between legal tech systems, we'll also address the crucial concerns around data accuracy, security, and the evolving role of human expertise in an increasingly AI-driven legal landscape.

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 past week has felt like history unfolding right in front of me, as courtrooms across the country have become the stage for a truly unprecedented legal drama with Donald Trump at the center. Let's get right into what's been happening, starting with the Northern District of California, where University of California researchers, led by Rahul Thakur, have taken President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency to federal court. The heart of their lawsuit is over research funding and access, with University of California researchers claiming that new administrative policies under Trump's leadership are restricting crucial funding and threatening academic independence. Just a few days ago, on August 26, Judge Gonzalez Rogers presided over a hearing to decide whether the court should expand the scope of a preliminary injunction for a group of researchers who allege unfair targeting by Trump's administration. The Zoom link for the public portion of this hearing attracted thousands of virtual spectators, eager to see whether the judiciary would put more checks on the administration's reach. Judge Gonzalez Rogers has yet to issue a final decision, but the tension in the courtroom was palpable as government attorneys pushed back against claims of overreach and political motivation.Nationally, the legal landscape surrounding Trump is a tangled web. The Lawfare Litigation Tracker reports close to 300 active cases now challenging Trump administration policies across a wide array of issues. Some of the most high-profile litigation right now continues to focus on Trump's use of executive power, with opponents targeting everything from immigration enforcement to civil liberties. Litigation over the Alien Enemies Act, for instance, is ongoing, with several states and advocacy groups arguing in court that Trump's policies unlawfully target immigrants. Other cases are challenging how Trump's new executive orders interact with state laws, an issue that might well wind up before the Supreme Court in the coming months.Meanwhile, the White House itself is not sitting idle. Just this week, on August 25, President Trump issued a new executive order aimed at ending cashless bail in jurisdictions that, in his view, are failing to keep dangerous offenders locked up. In his executive order, Trump directed the Attorney General to create a list within 30 days, identifying cities and states where cash bail has been substantially eliminated for crimes Trump says pose a “clear threat” to public safety. This order has already prompted several lawsuits from civil rights groups and state attorneys general, who argue that Trump is overstepping federal authority by withholding resources from cities and states that disagree with his policies. Lawyers from both sides are preparing for a flurry of hearings throughout September, and this clash over criminal justice policy is likely to feature in the courtrooms and on campaign trails alike as we head into the fall.What ties this chaotic legal atmosphere together is the sheer pace at which developments are happening. Updates stream in almost daily, with each hearing, ruling, or presidential order setting off a chain reaction of new litigation, media scrutiny, and political debate. No matter how each case gets resolved, these trials are rewriting long-standing assumptions about presidential power and accountability.

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

The Future of Litigation Financing with Eric Schuller, President of the Alliance for Responsible Consumer Legal Funding

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. Maria Antonia is a leading expert in the field of climate change law and climate litigation, having published dozens of articles on the topic.

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.

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 -...

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.
