LEXINGTON, Ky. (February 1, 2024) – “Every single one of them said, ‘My God, I had no idea something like this happened.' I think they are learning something about their communities that they didn't know before,” says Anastasia Curwood, director of the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies, referring to the reaction of students to their work with the groundbreaking Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Kentucky Project, a pilot program stemming from the pioneering CRRJ Project at Northeastern University School of Law. Prompted by the national project and working with the University of Kentucky's Rosenberg School of Law, they recognized the urgent need to address unsolved murders in Kentucky tied to racism or racial hostility. The multidimensional approach encompasses legal seminars, historical research, and a restorative justice element, intertwining legal expertise and historical context to unravel mysteries dating back through the past 100 years. This unique project bridges the gap between academic disciplines, offering students the opportunity to delve into cold cases that state agencies, hindered by resource constraints, often overlook or are unable to continue work on. The significance of this initiative lies not only in its historical inquiry but also in its potential to redefine how Kentuckians perceive their past. By investigating historical wrongs, the project seeks to create a more honest narrative of the Commonwealth, acknowledging the lasting impact on families and communities. On this episode of ‘Behind the Blue,' Curwood is joined by Austin Zinkle, a post-doctoral scholar and co-leader of the CRRJ-Kentucky legal clinic. They discuss the intricate connections between the past and present, and their efforts to shed light on real traumas and historical injustices that continue to shape Kentucky today.  "Behind the Blue" is available on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify.

Lifespans have increased significantly in the 21st century and older adults report high levels of happiness. But there are major challenges an aging population poses - and faces - at the societal, governmental, legal and individual levels. MT Connolly, the former head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Elder Justice Initiative, discusses her new book The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money and Meaning Later in Life and ways of improving life for older adults at those different levels. MT Connolly joins us from Washington, DC. ___________________ Bio MT Connolly, a leading national expert on elder justice, was awarded a MacArthur "genius" grant for her work shaping research, policy and practice. She was founding head of DOJ's Elder Justice Initiative, architect of the federal Elder Justice Act, and lead author of the Elder Justice Roadmap, setting priorities for the field. That work, and her research for "The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money and Meaning Later in Life," led her to co-design teams that provide more holistic, hopeful, and evidence-based services aimed to reduce trouble and enhance connection as we age, like the innovative "RISE" program. First pilot-tested in Maine, and now expanding elsewhere, RISE services are “person-centered” and can include support for caregivers and others. MT grew up in Rochester, Minnesota and the Northwoods of Wisconsin, graduated from Stanford and Northeastern University School of Law, is adjunct faculty at USC's Davis School of Gerontology, and lives in Washington, DC. _________________________ For More on MT Connolly The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life Website ________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like Breaking the Age Code – Dr. Becca Levy Who Will Take Care of You When You Are Older? – Joy Loverde Are You Ready for The New Long Life? – Andrew Scott Getting Good at Getting Older – Rabbi Laura Geller _________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Episode Is This Risk on Your Radar? – Julie Belshe How the Elderly Lose Their Rights - The New Yorker The Mindful Body – Ellen Langer The New Old Age - David Brooks in The Atlantic Dr. Kate Wilber USC ___________________________ Wise Quotes On Creativity and Curiosity "Then there's aging as an opportunity. The late chapters of life has been a good opportunity for expanded creativity and curiosity. And I think we really underestimate old age in this respect, because there is so much we can do. And recent article by David Brooks in the Atlantic focusing on Encore Time focused on this as well. And I think that it's a spectacular time to do something new, to try something new that can also be tremendously enriching. There's the power of awe and transformation. Life is, and time is transformation. We're always changing. But also if we focus on what we think is beautiful, what is transcendent? And that's different for everybody. It might be a night sky for somebody. For another person, it might be a religious practice. For another person, it might be meditation, or a trip to the Grand Canyon. It's different for everybody, but it's feeling like we're part of something bigger, like this great flow of humanity, but also the universe. We're the tiny little specks in the universe. And ironically, really embracing that and feeling that can change our existence." On Time and Meaning "...the sacred gift of time is the greatest upside of aging. A lot of people are deprived of that gift historically, and in our own time. The other way that I think about the upsides is that what I've tried to do both in my writing and i...

Director of Legal Operations, Managing Attorney (ex Hasbro). Strategic legal operations for in house legal departments; design thinking; product counsel and bringing together 12 years in-house with experience and skill in game design and software development. Bo has just finished the first-phase of his legal-ops career after building Hasbro, Inc.'s legal operations from scratch. He did so while maintaining a rich legal practice in kids' data privacy, digital product counsel (including for almost all of Hasbro's connected toy products between 2016 and 2023). But law was not Bo's first career – Band Life. After graduating UC Santa Cruz (modern literary studies, highest honors), he spent the rest of the 1990s playing guitar in the San Francisco indie rock/shoegazer/neo-psychedelic California-pop band “Pete,” (Instagram page) creating this release: https://peterecords.bandcamp.com/releases – while working at Polygram Group Distribution. PS2 Game Designer By 2002, Bo was now a game designer at Idol Minds, LLC, a developer near Boulder known for the “Coolboarders” and “Rally Cross” franchises. Wait, what? He shipped “Neopets: The Darkest Faerie” in 2005 as lead game designer. How? He learned C, studied lots of books on game design and development and put together a Windows game demo himself that helped to get his foot in the door. His experience as a web application developer for UC Santa Barbara (where his (now) wife was an English PhD. candidate) in creating applications using SQL and ASP technologies to deliver dynamic web pages in HTML and VB Script also helped open that door. And, those apps were aimed at helping administrators administer the English Department. Sound familiar? Legal Practice Bo went to law school in his mid-thirties. He graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 2009 and managed to get his foot in the door at Hasbro. During that time he worked on Hasbro's growing entertainment portfolio: television for the Hub (a JV with Discovery Channel) and on a massive software implementation of a rights-management system for Hasbro Studios. Full Circle: The Digital Practice & Legal Ops From the beginning, as the “tech guy” within Hasbro's legal department, Bo worked on things that would be recognizable as legal ops now. This started with Access databases to track contract rights. It ultimately led to fully embracing building full-blown applications in Microsoft 365 tools for CLM and process management, building an Innovation Committee, a Legal Ops Advisory Committee, and evangelizing legal ops for years in the department. Bo was almost single-handedly responsible for getting the whole department to adopt SharePoint along a (semi!) rational framework in the department. Full Ops Now, Bo is committed to legal operations as his core passion, and wants to be a part of the transformation that's happening both from within a smart, ambitious department ready to embrace the digital transformation journey to across the ops community, taking part in the amazing conversations that are happening every day. This is an amazing community to be a part of! Bo wants to build amazing programs. In both senses of the word: (a) ops programs for legal departments and (b) amazing, creative software and tech programs. Build them. Not just implement them. He says his true superpowers are seeing the connections between what others may see as disparate parts and then demonstrating how to synthesize these into . . . the art of the possible. He is a big-picture thinker who uses some pretty technical specifics and insight to make it happen.

In 1902, a Swedish-American pastor named Henning Jacobson refused to get the smallpox vaccine.

In theory, the criminal legal system is designed to find the truth of a matter. In reality, the legal system has been sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally constructed to be as efficient as possible while maintaining its institutional integrity. From plea deals to Executive Clemency, the legal system is often cruelly efficient at convicting the innocent and keeping the innocent looked in prison for decades. Why is that?     Today, Hunter sat down with Professor of Law, Daniel Medwed, to discuss his book Barred: Why the Innocent Can't Get Out of Prison to answer that question. At every step of the legal system, there are policies, procedures, and legal doctrines that work in concert to keep the innocent locked up as long as possible. Join us for a fascinating and frustrating examination of the legal machine that is so regularly disinterested in finding the truth and freeing the innocent.

Rob and Ryan DeLena are the co-authors of the Memoir Without Restraint: How Skiing Saved My Son's Life to be released in March of 2023. “As a child Ryan DeLena had difficulty controlling his emotional outbursts. This led to placement in therapeutic schools that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraints. Nothing helped from a team of doctors to heavy medication. Then in 2010, Ryan was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. His parents Rob and Mary Beth were counseled to place him in a group home. They refused… Written in two voices, Without Restraint is a joint father-son memoir told with both pain and levity, struggle and strength, adventure and heart. It is the story of a misunderstood boy, a father's growth, and a shared love of the outdoors that formed their unbreakable bond.” You'll hear both Ryan and Rob share their experiences with Therapeutic Schools in Massachusetts – getting both perspectives is powerful.

A Massachusetts law school says it's guilty of accidentally sending acceptance emails to thousands of former and current applicants. The Northeastern University School of Law in a statement blamed a “technical error” for the glitch, saying the erroneous emails went to more than 200 people who applied for admission starting next fall, as well as to nearly 4,000 former applicants, some of whom are already enrolled. “The School of Law quickly sent a clarifying email explaining the error. Individual outreach is also taking place to applicants with concerns,” the Boston school said. Final admissions decisions will not be made until later in the academic year. “The School of Law deeply regrets this unintended mistake and is taking steps to ensure that it will not happen in the future,” the school said. Lakisha Papoutsakis, a single mother from Northborough, Massachusetts, who received the acceptance email, told NBC10 Boston that she has dreamed of going to law school since she was a child. She shared the good news with her loved ones before noticing the follow-up email. “I was like, ‘Oh my God this is so amazing,' and then it was like, ‘Oh no, sorry, April Fool's Day,'” she said. This fall's law school class has 234 members out of 3,877 applicants, according to Northeastern's website. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this episode, we learn how Brookline, MA became the first city in the United States to achieve a tobacco-free generation (TFG). Mark Gottlieb, Executive Director of the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern University School of Law, Anthony Ishak, Brookline Resident and Pharmacist, and Kate Silbaugh, Professor of Law at Boston University and Elected Town Meeting Representative in Brookline open up about the process, perspective, and purpose behind TFG. The Public Health Advocacy Institute's attorneys are happy to help to determine whether the Tobacco-Free Generation Policy might be a viable approach in your community.  Contact them at moreinfo@phaionline.orgAbout ASHASH has been fighting tobacco since 1967. Our longevity is not necessarily something to celebrate – “mission accomplished” would mean going out of business, joyfully. Like most tobacco control organizations, ASH's vision is a world free from tobacco-caused death and disease. But also like most tobacco control organizations, our campaigns sought to mitigate the epidemic, not end it. For ASH, that changed about five years ago.The catalyst for the change at ASH was the adoption of a human rights-based approach to the tobacco epidemic. Analyzing the commercialization of tobacco products through that lens leads to an obvious conclusion: this stuff must be removed from the market.The idea got a huge boost when the State of California decided to put its weight behind a true tobacco endgame campaign. This represents a paradigm shift in public health. California and its allies are no longer interested in just “controlling” tobacco. They're in it to end it.Learn more about ASH CA at endtobaccoca.ash.orgThe music in this episode is provided by Free Sound FX.Subscribe to their channel here.

In this episode we talk about virtual reality in courts and how it can promote access to justice. Having to go to court can be once in a lifetime experience for quite many people. It might be nerve-racking and even scary not knowing what is going to happen at court, especially for self represented litigants. A lot of courts might not even see this problem because for courts and people who work there, it's everyday life. Besides financial resources, not being familiar with the court processes might affect people to seek resolution to their cases just because the whole concept is so hard to understand. We meet with Dan Jackson, Molly French and Shikha Silliman Bhattacharjee who have created The Colorado Virtual Courthouse, a guided 360-degree virtual tour of a Colorado courthouse, designed to help Self Represented Litigants navigate court and improve access to justice. It introduces key court staff, explains common court procedures, and provides resources and information to promote better legal outcomes for self represented litigants. Tune in to hear how courts could make the real experience of visiting the court more familiar and less daunting. Dan Jackson has directed the NuLawLab at Northeastern University School of Law since 2013. Dan is a 1997 graduate of Northeastern Law and a 1990 graduate of Northwestern University. Following a postgraduate clerkship with The Hon. Hugh H. Bownes at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Dan worked for 13 years with the law firm of Bingham McCutchen, ultimately serving as the firm's director of attorney development after practicing in the employment law group. Molly French currently works as Technology Manager at Colorado Legal Services in Denver, CO. She is on the advisory board of the Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project, and has served as the Chair of the Colorado Access to Justice Commission's Technology Committee, and is currently serving as a member of the Communications and Technology Committees. Shikha Silliman Bhattacharjee jointly founded HELM Social Design Studio in 2015, the first social design studio in South Asia dedicated to partnering with human rights defenders and their organizations to ideate, fund and build social design solutions that promote human rights and access to justice (http://helmstudio.org/).

We'd like to thank Ellen Glickman-Simon for hosting our April 12th Empower Women Event, Estate Planning for Serenity and Empowerment. An increased sense of serenity and empowerment are two of the main reasons to plan for your legal health. Many of us, especially parents of young children, do not realize how comforting it can be to have a plan in place in case of illness or death. Instead, we feel apprehensive about the choices involved in the estate planning process: who to name as beneficiaries, fiduciaries (e.g., health care agents), or guardians. While it takes courage to do this work and discipline to make the time to do it, the rewards are great. Feelings of relief, pride, empowerment, and solace often follow a completed estate plan. Ellen offered a manageable, step-by-step approach to creating your Will, Health Care Proxy, Durable Power of Attorney, Trust (for certain situations) and related estate planning documents. Ellen Glickman-Simon, J.D., L.L.M. Ellen graduated from Tufts University in 1982, received her law degree from Northeastern University School of Law in 1987, and her master's degree (L.L.M.) in tax law from Boston University School of Law in 1988. She practiced law in the tax department of a major Boston firm as well as a suburban business firm before establishing her own office in Sudbury, MA, in 1995 where she has over 25 years of estate planning experience.

Urvashi Vaid, President of The Vaid Group talks about the National LGBTQ+ Women's Community Survey with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. This groundbreaking survey is a long overdue effort to learn and collect data from the experiences of women who partner with other women. Garnering over 5,000 respondents to date this unique effort is led by veteran queer, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, researchers and activists. The survey is designed to discover all we know and what we need to know about the life experience of LGBTQ women. Their goal is to reach 20,000 participants for the study by the end of March 2022. The survey will help us better understand the unique and amazing ways we form and support our families and how our community is surviving discrimination and harassment at work. The survey also addresses what forms of economic and social safety nets we create for ourselves given that the government, corporations and even non-profit employers largely do a poor job of this for black and brown LGBTQ+ women who love women. It also covers surviving the policing of our family members and ourselves as well as how racism, sexual violence and gender discrimination come together in our lives in ways that feel like gaslighting and can seem unimportant to our allies. This is an extremely important survey that will provide information our nation needs to understand so we can evolve and bring forward real life experience to inform policy change, service delivery and action to support LGBTQ+ women. We talked to Urvashi about her inspiration for creating the National LGBTQ+ Women's Community Survey and give us her spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Urvashi Vaid is a graduate of Northeastern University School of Law and Vassar College.

Cost sharing is particularly burdensome for some Medicare beneficiaries, particularly those with incomes just above the poverty level, those with disabilities, or those who have multiple chronic health conditions. Jeanne Madden, PhD, of the Northeastern University School of Pharmacy, and Eric Roberts, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, speak with JAMA Health Forum Editor John Ayanian and Deputy Editor Melinda Buntin about the implications of high cost-sharing burdens in Medicare and options for policy makers to limit these burdens for Medicare beneficiaries who are at greatest risk.

From work from home, to deductions, to Wayfair, it's clear that state and local taxes (SALT) have become critical in the tax world. While the larger focus used to sit squarely on federal taxes, the industry lens seems to be shifting toward SALT more and more. State and local taxes can seem complicated, especially in a nearly post-pandemic economy where so many taxpayers are still working remotely. How does the federal tax realm compare to SALT?On today's episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kelly is joined by Jamie Szal to chat about why this shift is happening and why SALT is so crucial to today's tax landscape. Jamie is a tax attorney at Brann and Isaacson, where she focuses on assisting businesses with state and local tax controversy matters from audits and administrative proceedings through civil litigation. She is a graduate of Trinity College, and earned her JD from Northeastern University School of Law.    Listen to Kelly and Jamie talk about the impact of state and local taxes:Beginning with a BA in International Studies, Jamie chats about her diverse background and what led her to specializing in state and local taxes. On the brink of a new job with a US intelligence agency, Jamie realized she was more interested in the context and legal specifics of the ordeal and decided to pursue law school instead.  Jamie says, “The last three years since [the Wayfair verdict] has been like the wild west.” It opened the doors for states to go after businesses that didn't have a physical footprint.  The complexity and nuance to state and local tax can be extremely overwhelming, even to professionals. Jamie shares how she's learned to stay focused and on top of her practice over the years.  What does Jamie think could happen down the line as a continued result of the Wayfair case? How might the federal code and statutes interact with these new ideals? In this modern age, to what degree are company websites considered when evaluating commerce and taxes across state lines?  Is there an anticipated aggressive audit cycle to come as we emerge from the pandemic?  How are states making proactive movements to gain information for any audits? What are the underlying causes that could be motivating these initiatives?  As someone who specializes in SALT, what does Jamie spend most of her time working on? She says she spends a fair bit of time in the litigation world, as well as a lot of time deep in strategic planning conversations.  Jamie also says the procedural side of SALT is just as varied as the code itself. Everything depends on the fine print of the local laws and jurisdictions. How does she go about nailing down those specifics and finding seasoned experts in certain regions of interest?  The value of LinkedIn can't be understated. From searching for clients to expanding a vast network, Jamie sings the praises of LinkedIn, especially when it comes to finding niche experts in her field.  Kelly and Jamie chat briefly about their experiences as women in the tax world, and how the demographic may be shifting in the future, even as soon as post-pandemic. Jamie says she's noticed a significant difference between women in the public tax sector versus the private sector, maybe because of hours or flexible scheduling.  How can women in tax “balance” their careers, lives, and families without feeling like they're sacrificing time in any area? What are Jamie's dream career goals? She says she would love to work on another supreme court case. More about Kelly: Kelly is the creator and host of the Taxgirl podcast series.

Her primary research focuses on sociology of media, sociology of mental health, collective memory and trauma, and identity. She is specifically interested in how digital communities, which can be simultaneously encouraging and hostile, constitute the identity development of Black and Brown adolescent girls. Mi'Chael is also interested in digital sociology, a sub-discipline of sociology that highlights the role of digital media in everyday life and its contribution to social relationships. Mi'Chael is a former Division I athlete who organized taking a knee in 2016 and has much to share from that experience. About the new book, The Kaepernick Effect Riveting and inspiring first-person stories of how “taking a knee” triggered an awakening in sports, from the celebrated sportswriter. “The Kaepernick Effect reveals that Colin Kaepernick's story is bigger than one athlete. With profiles of courage that leap off the page, Zirin uncovers a whole national movement of citizen-athletes fighting for racial justice.” —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award–winning author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist. In 2016, amid an epidemic of police shootings of African Americans, the celebrated NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a series of quiet protests on the field, refusing to stand during the U.S. national anthem. By “taking a knee,” Kaepernick bravely joined a long tradition of American athletes making powerful political statements. This time, however, Kaepernick's simple act spread like wildfire throughout American society, becoming the preeminent symbol of resistance to America's persistent racial inequality.
