In this episode of Littler Lounge, hosts Claire Deason and Nicole LeFave sit down with Littler attorneys Niloy Ray and Alice Wang to unpack the buzz – and the reality – around artificial intelligence in the workplace. From the algorithms behind popular playlists to the cutting-edge tools reshaping hiring and employee monitoring, the conversation explores how AI is already changing the game. The group dives into the evolving regulatory landscape, comparing how the U.S. and EU are approaching AI oversight, and what that means for employers aiming to stay compliant while keeping pace with innovation.

In this episode of Littler Lounge, Claire and Nicole sit down with Littler attorney Shin-I Lowe for a grounded, yet eye-opening conversation about the realities of immigration enforcement in the workplace. From I-9 audits to the high-pressure uncertainty of ICE raids, the discussion explores how employers can distinguish between different types of enforcement actions – and why that distinction matters. The episode covers the legal nuances of subpoenas versus warrants, the importance of having a clear protocol in place, and how to recognize early warning signs that could trigger government scrutiny. It also dives into the role of E-Verify, the risks of misuse, and how interagency data sharing is shaping enforcement trends under current federal priorities. With practical insights and a few cautionary tales, this conversation underscores the value of preparation over panic – and highlights Littler's publicly available resources to help employers stay compliant and confident. https://www.littler.com/practices-industries/immigration-and-global-mobility

Pull up a chair, pour yourself something fizzy, and join us as we unwind with the sharpest minds in labor and employment law. This isn't your typical legal briefing – we're trading the boardroom for the breakroom to talk shop, share stories, and unpack the issues shaping the workplace today. In each episode, we tap into Littler's deep bench of thought leaders to explore the legal, cultural, and practical dimensions of work – from IE&D and immigration to AI and labor relations. It's smart, it's insightful, and yes, it's a little irreverent. Because when you bring together brilliant people who trust each other, the real conversations start to flow. Big firm. Big ideas. Zero stuffiness. In this episode, Claire Deason and Nicole LeFave unpack the results of Littler's 2025 Employer Survey, revealing what's top of mind for employers in today's rapidly shifting legal and cultural landscape. From the uncertain future of inclusion, equity and diversity (IE&D) programs and the chilling effect of increased immigration enforcement, to the whiplash in AI adoption and the evolving dynamics of labor relations, employers are navigating a complex web of concerns. Tune in as Claire and Nicole explore the tension between compliance and culture – and why many organizations are choosing to hold steady amid regulatory ambiguity.

It is a privilege to welcome author and content creator Marcus J. Anthony to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. It is also an honor that he is making his podcasting debut on my platform. Marcus J. Anthony, an upcoming author from Dublin, Ireland, published the previous version of Love of Sacrifice before rebooting it into The World of Antheric. Some who have known Marcus from school found the news of his book a surprise, as Marcus struggled through school dealing with dyslexia and social anxiety. Marcus lacked focus in his studies and would spend most of his time daydreaming about flying on dragons or waving a wand to cast a spell. Fantasy fueled Marcus's mind. However, it caused him to fall behind in school. He would be exempt from Irish language studies, which was disheartening for him not to be able to translate his countries original language. When Marcus was ten, he suffered from sleep anxiety. So, he decided to use his strong imagination to create 'movies' in his head that would help him sleep. That was when some of the characters in this novel were created. In the years that followed, the movies in his head developed and became a magical world that Marcus could not resist writing. Creative writing became his passion, and Marcus would not allow his dyslexia to stop him from achieving.He spent most of his teenage years (staying home on weekends) writing and learning until he found his writing style. Marcus has a great love for animals and supports charities. He is vocal about the awareness of animal abuse, expressed in the story through Jenin's past experiences. Marcus has four cats: Summer, Junior, Littler, and Leia. In 2017, Marcus fell into a dark spell of generalized anxiety and depression, which delayed the release of his book. The Black Grawth came from his experience with anxiety and panic attacks. And Gaul - the Dark Lord- represented the darkness of depression. With the help of treatment, family, and meditation, Marcus found strength and happiness again and continues to write with the world around him as his inspiration.He is also known as Elite MJ on YouTube and in the content creator community. His original story, Pokémon: The Next Generation, has gained a massive fan following. The story takes place ten years after longtime series protagonist Ash Ketchum captured the World Championship title. After a devasting Pokémon war, Johto resident Marc Masters begins his journey with his friends, Rachel and Anthony, in Kanto. As the story unfolds, Ash and Pikachu are kidnapped, and a menacing and monstrous new antagonist, MewZ, emerges from the shadows, ready to take over the world. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Marcus J. Anthony spoke about how he got into storytelling, creating MewZ, and previewing what's to come on the Pokémon: the Next Generation web series.Let's connect on social media: A) BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jacobelyachar.bsky.socialB) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JacobElyachar/C) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobelyachar/D) Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jacobelyacharE) Twitter (X): https://x.com/JacobElyacharF) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JacobElyacharBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Voice Of GO(r)D is proud to present a conversation with Guy Meister, a Nova Scotia trucker whose little daycab R Model Mack sat on Sussex Street in Downtown Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy.Guys act of peaceful protest, of standing around in Ottawa drinking coffee with his fellow countrymen, has now earned him the bizarre pursuit of the Canadian government, who have engaged in a capricious and Kafka-esque case of Lawfare against Guy that has now run for over three years, and has seen Guy make the 2000 mile round trip from his home in Nova Scotia back to Ottawa 16 times for court.So much for carbon emissions; as I type this, he is on trip number 17.I found out about Guy from my good friend Donna Laframboise, who has appeared on this show twice in discussion about The Convoy (links below), and who has just released her new book ‘Thank You, Truckers!', which exclusively profiles the regular working class Canadians who made up The Convoy or supported it. Not the politicians or the organizers or big names, just the everyday people you never hear about, who go humbly about the work of keeping society functioning, and patriotically rose up to meet the challenge of a government gone astray.Guy's story is pretty incredible, and he represents, in an understated way, the best of the Canadian everyman - humble, hardworking, and totally apolitical until the Covid Regime came along and turned our world upside down.As mentioned in the intro, you can meet Guy and Donna this upcoming Sunday, March 16, at 630 pm, at the Biker's Church of Ottawa, 155 Carillon Street.Here is their website - https://www.bikerschurch.com/Guy is back in Ottawa to continue fighting the bastards, and he has court dates scheduled for March 18, 19, and 24, all at 10am at the Ontario Court of ‘Justice' in Ottawa, 161 Elgin Street.If you are around and can make it, I'm sure he would love a show of support.https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/locations/ottawa/This get together is being organized by the wonderful Melissa McKee, and you can follow her on Twitter - https://x.com/TheMelissaMckeeGuy is being represented by Brian Doody of Doody Counsel (great name, lol) and you can follow Mr Doody on Twitter and LinkedIn.https://x.com/DoodyCounselhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-doody-ma-llb-39813626/Lawyers, as a lesser subspecies of human, often catch a lot of flak for their shenanigans, but Doody is one of the good ones; pop over and say thank you.The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms has been supporting Guy's case, and you can donate via a button on their own article about him.https://www.jccf.ca/court_cases/peaceful-trucker-arbitrarily-detained-for-hours-without-access-to-legal-counsel/For more links, information, and a bunch of great photos, head over to my substack, and while you are there, smash that subscribe button https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/the-little-r-model-that-could-guyAs you heard, I'm writing a book about the decades long war on truckers in North America, and you can read about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorIf you have a couple of bucks to spare to help me get this book out the door -https://www.givesendgo.com/EndOfTheRoadThanks for listening, and as always, share this with your fellow truckers or anyone else who might be interested.Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Story of the Week (DR):Trump signed an order ending DEI. Here's what it means for Fortune 500 companiesTrump's latest presidential moves mandate government agencies to specifically target companies in the private sector engaged in what it describes as “illegal DEI discrimination and preferences.”Despite the intended chilling effect of these executive moves, multiple legal sources point out that Trump's order and action do not constitute a change in the law. Rather, the language used in the order simply “enforces longstanding federal civil rights laws,” says Britney N.D. Torres, senior counsel at employment law firm Littler.Trump's executive moves just mean that companies will have to continue to carefully review their DEI-related policies, practices and initiatives based on longstanding anti-discrimination laws, and make sure they can't be interpreted in a way that is different from what they intended, she says.This week in Davos, Jamie Dimon reaffirmed JPMorgan's DEI commitments after the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit, proposed the bank revisit how compensation is tied to the company's racial-equity goal. “Bring them on,” said Dimon referring to the efforts from right-leaning groups. “We are going to continue to reach out to the Black community, the Hispanic community, the LGBT community, the veterans community.”Will this ever trickle down to JPM leadership?15 on Operating Committee: 1 POC (an Indian man–Sanoke Viswanathan, CEO of International Consumer and Wealth–who came from McKinsey); 7/15 F though so some credit dueBoard: nearly 50% F but a woeful -21% gender gap; no leadership positions on board or top 3 committees: only committees where women have power are Public Responsibility Committee and Risk Committee; 11 on board: 9 WM and 2 BFCan we stop pretending board and shareholder oversight is a thing?

Your board was wrong. Your management was wrong. You know what petty middle school bullies do when you give them your lunch money? Take it the next fucking day, too.

Anastasia Boyko likes to say that she's Goldilocks-ed her way through her career. True, it's been a varied career, as she's tried out different roles, but it is a career that has taken her full circle, from Yale Law School, where she graduated, and then eventually back to Yale Law to create a program in leadership for lawyers, and from Salt Lake City, where she grew up after she and her mother fled Soviet-era Ukraine, and then back to that city as chief innovation officer at the University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law. Along the way, Boyko has learned a thing or two about the roles of leadership and innovation in legal education, and she has strong opinions about why law schools should do better at preparing students to be both leaders and innovators. In today's LawNext, Boyko joins host Bob Ambrogi to share the journey of her Goldilocks-ed career and her insights on leadership and innovation, as well as ac-cess to justice. After graduating from Yale Law School, Boyko began her career in private practice as a tax lawyer. She went on to hold diverse professional positions, including law librarian, Supreme Court intern, banker, yoga teacher, wellness entrepreneur, and career coach. She returned to Yale Law as the inaugural dean of the school's Tsai Leadership Program, where she developed an innovative leadership program for lawyers, and returned to the University of Utah's law school, first as director of non-J.D. programs and then as chief innovation officer.

On Dec. 5, in a move to enhance access to justice, the Supreme Court of the state of Washington issued a historic order authorizing a regulatory reform pilot program by which entities not owned by lawyers will be able to deliver legal services. The move makes Washington only the third state, after Utah and Arizona, to approve a comprehensive change to the longstanding rule that only entities owned by lawyers can practice law. The pilot, which will last for 10 years, is designed to test whether entity regulation will increase access to justice by enhancing access to affordable and reliable legal and law-related services. Entities approved to operate under the pilot will be allowed to practice law, but only under strict conditions that limit the duration of their operations and that require active monitoring and oversight. To discuss the development and details of this pilot, we are joined today by two guests representing the two organizations that proposed this pilot to the court and that will now be tasked with partnering to get it up and running. They are: Terra Nevitt, executive director of the Washington State Bar Association, and Craig Shank, a Washington lawyer and member of the Washington Supreme Court's Practice of Law Board. Their share their perspectives on how this pilot could enhance access to justice and what the development means for regulatory reform more broadly.

On today's LawNext: we hand over the podcast to NotebookLM to discuss the state of law practice management technology. If you haven't heard of NotebookLM, it is a generative AI tool from Google that turns your documents into engaging audio discussions. Its output sounds a whole lot like, well, a podcast, with two hosts chatting it up about your documents. To quote Google's own description, “With one click, two AI hosts start up a lively “deep dive” discussion based on your sources. They summarize your material, make connections between topics, and banter back and forth.” So we decided to give it a try. Back in September, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi wrote a four-part series on his LawSites blog called, “The Shrinking Ownership of Law Practice Management Technology.” It was a deep dive into how ownership of law practice management software for solo and small law firms has been consolidated under just six major ownership groups. We loaded the four parts of that series into NotebookLM and asked it to generate its audio overview. What you'll hear today is the discussion it generated, followed by Bob's thoughts on what it produced. The NotebookLM audio is about 15 minutes long, and Bob's comments will come after that plays. It is important to keep in mind that the audio generated by NotebookLM is not simply a summary. The two speakers do summarize key points from Bob's articles, but they also add interpretations and perspectives that are nowhere to be found in the original source material. Here are the articles on which the audio is based: The shrinking ownership of law practice management technology (Part 1 of 4): A Market Dominated by Just Six Ownership Groups. The shrinking ownership of law practice management technology (Part 2 of 4): A Scorecard of Who Owns What. The shrinking ownership of law practice management technology (Part 3 of 4): Future Development and Market Opportunities. The shrinking ownership of law practice management technology (Part 4 of 4): Wrapping It All Up. Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.
