On today's episode, we discuss one of the biggest topics in privacy right now, CIPA. CIPA is a privacy law created 30 years ago to help protect people's privacy while using the phone. However, it has recently been reinterpreted by courts to impact website owners. Now, businesses big and small (even 1-person businesses) are being sued across the United States by attorneys looking to take advantage of the confusion. Our guest, today is Jason Kelly. Jason is a Partner at Annaguey McCann, a litigation law firm in Los Angeles, who uses his experience in complex commercial disputes to help companies resolve disruptive lawsuits and find pragmatic solutions aligned with their goals. Jason litigates individual cases and class actions involving claims of fraud, anticompetitive behavior, and more. This year, the Los Angeles Business Journal recognized him as a Leader of Influence for Litigators & Trial Attorneys; and the Daily Journal named him as one of the “Top Artificial Intelligence Attorneys.” Jason is also a Certified Information Privacy Professional and Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional. He has helped clients respond to and litigate claims of CIPA violations. Email: jason@annagueymccann.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jasonykelly

This episode is dedicated to Mental Health Awareness Month -- May 2024 -- in which we explore some of the keys to achieving wellbeing as a human litigator. Lawyers contemplate suicide at "an exceedingly high rate." Whereas 4.2% of adults have reported contemplating suicide, that figure is 10-12% among lawyers. According to a study published by MDPI, lawyers are prone to mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. "[O]ur findings suggest the profile of a lawyer with the highest risk for suicide is a lonely or socially isolated male with a high level of unmanageable stress, who is overly committed to their work, and may have a history of mental health problems."  Released in 2023, the authors of the study -- Stressed, Lonely, and Overcommitted: Predictors of Lawyer Suicide Risk (Krill, Thomas, Kramer, Degeneffe, and Anker) -- say there is a need for interventions to address these risks,  including  "education, resources, and support for lawyers to better manage their workload, modifying work demands and expectations, and promoting a culture of openness and support within law firms."With that as a backdrop, guest host and legal analytics professional Sara Lord interviews success coach and former litigator Gary Miles about the professional dissatisfaction litigators experience  when the pursuit of fulfillment clashes with high-stress demands -- from burnout to depression to imposter syndrome. Explore practical strategies for managing anxiety and embracing mindfulness, like reframing your thoughts, celebrating even small achievements, identifying trusted colleagues and mentors, the importance of rest, and reaching out for help. Learn some of the wisdom Gary imparts via his counseling services. Feeling emotionally crisp?  “There is always a solution. Always,” Gary says.*******Need Immediate Help? If you are in the U.S. and experiencing thoughts of suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or IMAlive at 1-800-784-2433.

Litigators are used to being in front of a jury. But have you ever wondered what it's like to be a member of that jury? What are jurors watching? What do they notice? Guest Chauntis Jenkins-Floyd, an experienced litigator, recently served on a jury. And what she learned as a juror is eye opening.  Like most of us, Jenkins-Floyd has been summoned for jury duty and dismissed each time. But this time was different. In this episode, she describes her experiences in the selection process, intake, and deliberation.  Jenkins-Floyd took it all in. She learned about the jobs and childcare pressures jurors have. She saw what happens in the jury room. “All of my senses were tingling. As a trial lawyer, I never get to see this part,” she explains. What she learned will change how you present your next case.  Hear how important your moves are to a jury, starting the moment you enter the courtroom. Eye contact, body language, and even where people sit. Everything matters. How prepared and confident do you look? How friendly and comfortable are you with your client? Jenkins-Floyd explains what jurors are watching. How you ask questions, starting with voir dire, sets up jurors and helps them subconsciously put themselves in your client's shoes, even without saying it. Jurors watch and see everything you do.

Litigators who do other things besides litigate -- you know them. Some perform comedy, act on stage or in film, or they are gifted musicians. Some are even drummers. (Drummer joke, if that's not too edgy.)  One highly acclaimed San Francisco class action litigator is talented on the kit and owns her own drum company. Another Los Angeles-based litigator started his own record label. Another San Francisco litigator left the profession, moved to South Africa, and led people on safari. Others write books, or develop technology solutions to common problems. Still others launch businesses, teach, and back causes.The point is: Litigators do many things. One job closer to home is when he or she moves from private practice to a corporate legal department. But what about when the company is on the smaller size, with a modest legal department whose members are expected to handle an assortment of matters?  Hiring is an important decision for any company, but when it's a smaller organization selecting in-house counsel is arguably even more critical. When companies like this aren't engaged in litigation, one might think a litigator wouldn't be the first choice.In this episode we talk about all the things one litigator has done, and the advantages she feels a litigator can bring to a small company – one that isn't embroiled in litigation and would like to keep it that way.    She is Somya Kaushik, in-house counsel, entrepreneur, adjunct law professor, writer, leader, a children's book author (“You, YES You! Yolki's Journey Within," illustrated by Annie Hagy* and available on Amazon and other fine platforms), and a former litigator. She is senior corporate counsel for Mineral, an HR and corporate compliance company which was recently acquired by Miratech, a tech solutions company for legal, HR, and governance, risk and compliance. Before Mineral she was an intellectual property litigator representing large and small companies, including SaaS and tech firms. In 2013 she founded EsqMe, Inc., a sharing platform where lawyers can exchange legal documents, templates, motions, and forms, where she served as general counsel. She is also an adjunct professor at Lewis & Clark Law School. Now located in Chicago, for nearly five years Somya was president of the South Asian Bar Association of Oregon. Somya is on the Fastcase 50 list honoring innovators and leaders in the legal industry.  Education: New York Law School, J.D.; George Washington University, B.A., Psychology and Political Science; London School of Economics; and Harvard Business School. *Ms. Hagy is the younger daughter of the host of this podcast, which, now that I think about it, could use some illustrations to brighten up the place. ********This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal of Emerging Issues in Litigation.

John is joined by Hisaya Kimura, Senior Counsel in the Tokyo office of Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu. They discuss aspects of the Japanese legal system, including Japan's historical adoption of the German civil procedure system and subsequent incorporation of elements, such as cross-examination, of the American system. They also discuss how Japanese litigants typically exchange multiple detailed briefs covering both factual and legal issues in detail for years before trial followed by trials that last less than a day with only one witness testifying for each side. They also discuss key differences between Japanese and American litigation, including the absence of discovery, juries, and punitive damages in Japan as well as the application of the beyond reasonable doubt standard in civil litigation. Finally, they discuss recent changes to the legal profession in Japan, including the expansion of Japanese law firms beyond litigation to include advice on regulatory, M&A and competition issues, the expansion of leading Japanese firms into international markets and the impact foreign firms have had by opening Japanese offices.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 161 features Nicole Clark, Co-founder, CEO at Trellis, located in Los Angeles, California.  Nicole shares his lawyer story with us and how the idea for Trellis was born late one night as Nicole was trying to write a complicated motion for summary judgment. She didn't know much about the judge assigned to the case, which left her unsure about how to structure the document. A colleague let her browse through his old case files, where she stumbled upon a past ruling by her judge, on her issue, on her motion. It felt like finally having a detailed study guide to a final exam. She won her motion for summary judgment and everything changed. Nicole knew there was a massive opportunity and never looked back.

In this episode we talk about the advantages of having technology and software development capabilities inside your law firm. Can you imagine? And we're not just talking about someone who is adept at unjamming the printer.  While the legal tech industry offers myriad high-quality solutions (some of my best friends are technology solutions), there are times when a litigator just wants that one thing that the tech doesn't do. Or, working with the tech has such a long learning curve that the attorney won't embrace it, that is, if he or she even tries it. There are also service enhancements attorneys would like to offer clients – capabilities that set the firm apart, that demonstrate the firm has the client's best interests at heart and that the firm is even (gasp!) innovative.Litigators want to get an edge at trial. They want to be able to collaborate smoothly with clients. They want clients to get answers to important questions quickly. Focusing on customer experience is not just for retailers anymore.Joining me to talk about how one law firm benefits from having its own in-house technology developer is Sam McAllister, Director of Litigation Technology at Lightfoot Franklin & White in Birmingham, Alabama.Sam works on creative solutions for the firm's litigation defense teams in the categories of communications, workflows, automation, multimedia, task efficiency, jury selection, information organization, and courtroom visualization, and more. The results come in the form of proprietary software, custom platforms, and apps. Many make the firm more efficient, cost-effective, and better equipped to collaborate with clients. Some have the effect of wowing clients, too.It's no wonder Sam found himself on the Fastcase 50, a unique award that celebrates innovative professionals in the legal field. Sam, they said, exemplifies the "build-your-own spirit" of the award.He is the leader of the firm's Case Clarity Group, which provides "highly-developed technology to clients throughout the duration of a case, e-discovery collaboration with Lightfoot lawyers, and adaptive evidence models to make complex ideas simple." And – I like this part – "ask any lawyer who knows him - Sam does what it takes to help you win a case and is known for bringing calm to the most intense of trials." (I can think of some work groups that would benefit from a position I just made up – Director of Calm. I mean, a cat can only do so much.) Sam received his B.S. in computer science from Auburn University. Speaking of cats – Go Tigers! I hope you enjoy the episode. If so, give us a rating!

When you are first starting out your career, it can feel really daunting especially as a litigator. You have to learn your rules AND the law both locally and nationally and sometimes internationally, and your team may not necessarily have the time to teach you all the ropes. This is why I find the work of Molly Hough so valuable because she offers fundamental toolkits for lawyers from zero to five years of experience (and beyond) on how to be excellent litigators and build a great book of business.  Connect with Molly on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-hough-esq-47625348/ Follow Molly on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jurisconsult_institute/ Learn how to work with me: angela-han.com/start

In this episode, Jim Garrity discusses a brainstorming meeting he had with the podcast staff about show topics for the coming year. One member suggested he develop a "top five list" of things that litigators should be doing, but aren't. Bad idea! As Garrity explains in the episode, there is no single list of things all trial lawyers should do. Effective deposition plans are highly individualized. So one-size-fits-all checklists for litigators, applied mechanically, foster the very opposite of truly brilliant deposition practice. Garrity uses this episode instead to talk about five things that immediately came to mind, and that brand-new lawyers might give thought to, when building their own toolkit of deposition skills.

Physical aspects aren't the only changes in federal litigation, according to two veteran Chicago litigators. They think jurors, particularly those younger than age 40, are much more forgiving when a witness is caught lying, few care whether a party admits to drug use, and many expect significant documentation from law enforcement trying to defend misconduct charges.

Through our podcast, website, and social media we have been thinking a lot about the law and being lawyers.  It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind of being a lawyer that often you cannot see the forest for the trees.  This week we decided to zoom out a bit and look for a deeper meaning in litigation.So much about the way we think about the law centers around the drama of the courtroom and that is where litigators practice.  Civil law and civil litigation is deeply rooted in our society.  To quote a classic movie “litigators are the scariest kinds of lawyers.”  (Hopefully you know this, but if you do not this is from Clueless.") Litigators are often portrayed as sharks or villains in the media.  And sometimes on the other side they are portrayed as fighting for the underdog.  But no matter the portrayal - it is usually fighting. Although a relatively small percentage of Haley's time is spent actually fighting or advocating for her client's position, the other time is so often spent preparing for the fight that it feels like the fight is the only thing sometimes.  But this week, we are going to look deeper into three common aspects of litigation from a different perspective.  We are going to explore the purpose behind them as well as their practical function.  Court rules offer so many things, they offer the ground rules and boundaries for all parties involved.  They provide the framework by which we as attorneys make decisions.  They also provide a framework for discussions with your client.  You can lean on the court rules and give you client scenarios - if this, then that.  Briefs represent a format to simply be heard.  Whether you are pro se, or if you have an attorney representing you, a legal brief is an opportunity to be heard.  This actually can be found in many places other than briefs, depositions and of course trial.  People want their day in court.  But, why is that?  It is fairly basic - they want to be heard. Having the opportunity to be heard is powerful.  Even if the ultimate outcome is not exactly what the client (or their attorney) hopes it will be.  Mediation is a non-binding process where the parties negotiate through the help of a neutral third party.  Mediation gives the parties and their counsel the opportunity to maintain control over their future by negotiating a settlement that all parties agree on.  To come to an agreement, both parties have to give up something.  If you are engaged in mediation, you may not get everything you want, but you get to decide what you will and will not give up.  You get to remain in control.    We would love to hear what you think!  Reach out on Instagram, LinkedIn, or via email.Have a great day!The Law Student's Guide to Networking Course is now open and available.  As soon as you purchase, you have immediate access to the entire course - all of the video modules, the guides, the ebook, and some additional bonuses.  You can start right now developing your networking plan and building your professional network.  Click here to access this course TODAY!Nothing contained within this podcast is intended or should be construed to be legal advice and does not create any attorney client relationship.  Please keep in mind that your jurisdiction will have rules of professional conduct that you must follow.  This discussion does not focus on the any such rules, including the rules from the jurisdiction where we practice.

Antitrust claims are difficult to maintain in patent cases. But with the growth of large portfolios—especially through acquisition—the legal landscape could be changing. What do practitioners need to know? More on Samantha Jameson and Aaron Nathan. SPEAKERS Aaron Nathan, Wayne Stacy, Samantha Jameson Wayne Stacy 00:01 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's expert series podcast. I'm your host, Wayne Stacey, the executive director of BCLT. And today our topic is the resurgent interest in the intersection of patents and antitrust. We have two leading experts with us today from the tensegrity law firm, Samantha Jameson, and Aaron Nathan, welcome both of you. Samantha Jameson 00:26 Thank you. Aaron Nathan 00:27 Thank you for having us. Wayne Stacy 00:29 So, you know, I've spent my life doing doing patent litigation. And when it came to the the intersection of patents and antitrust, it was always interesting. But it only seemed relevant to a few select people and in just a few select occasions. It seems to be changing now. So what's happening that's making this an important topic today? Aaron Nathan 00:51 That's a great question Wayne. So, from our perspective, the intersection of patents and antitrust really holds a number of pitfalls and opportunities for practitioners and market participants alike. If you're defending against allegations of patent infringement, it's worth having litigation counsel, who are well enough versed in these issues, to know whether they apply in your case and to use them to your advantage if they do. If you're asserting patent infringement, we're representing a party who is, it's equally important to understand the antitrust issues that can arise so that you can avoid these pitfalls, hopefully avoid seeing those kinds of claims asserted against your client, and so that you know how to deal with them if they are asserted. Now, as you alluded to, this is not the most common thing in patent infringement setting. It's non standard. But it does arise repeatedly throughout the years. And it has arisen a number of times in recent years. And in an antitrust climate that is relatively pro enforcement, it becomes especially important to understand the different ways in which antitrust claims can arise in the context of patent infringement litigation. It's an area that sometimes gets overlooked, but practitioners in both fields should know enough about the other field and how the two fields intersect to recognize and address these issues when they come up. Wayne Stacy 02:09 Well, it's interesting, you mentioned that there may be a shift toward pro enforcement, which is why people need to know about this today. So what are the ways that patent litigation can become part of an antitrust claim? Samantha Jameson 02:23 There are actually a number of different ways an alleged antitrust violation can arise in the context of patent litigation. Without giving an exhaustive list we can say it's a complicated topic, largely because the First Amendment generally protects government petitioning activity, including patent prosecution and patent lawsuits. There are a number of relatively well known areas where antitrust claims can arise. You can have claims based on this conduct and the prosecution of later asserted patents and claims based on sham assertions of infringement. In those cases, the normal f

Today on The Wealth Secrets Podcast, Sean Adams talks to Mikkel Thorup, the bestselling author of Expat Secrets and the host of The Expat Money Show podcast. He has lived in 9 different countries and has been constantly travelling the world for over 20 years now. Mikkel shares his experiences in living abroad with zero taxes and why you need to diversify your portfolio with off shore investments. [02:53] What is an Expat? [05:51] Getting to know Mikkel [10:58] Why live as an expat? [14:43] Remote work is more viable now than ever [19:01] Eliminate tax using the FEIE Rule [26:46] Off shore asset protection and diversification [37:56] Protection from litigations and politics [42:31] Foreign investment opportunities [45:38] Work with experts you trust Mikkel started travelling since he was 16 years old. Formal education didn't suit him so he decided to drop out of school from a young age. Instead of learning inside the classroom, he was learning through his own exploration of the world. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, majority of the workforce has shifted to remote work. This change has prompted people to re-design their life not by society's standards but by their personal goals. There are many advantages to living overseas as an expat. You have the freedom to seek out exciting experiences, to live healthier, to learn new languages, and much more. Living abroad also allows you to reduce tax bills to zero. You can do this by moving to a low-income tax state and by qualifying for the foreign earned income exclusion (FEIE) program. Without the burden of tax, you can live a more comfortable life abroad. Another way to build wealth is to diversify your portfolio with foreign investment opportunities. You can buy real estate and precious metals, open off shore bank accounts, or even incorporate a company overseas. Litigators and creditors are discouraged to come after foreign assets because of the differences in language, currency, and laws. Before attempting to move or invest, consult with trusted specialists because mistakes can have severe consequences.
