Cyberattacks pose growing threat Chris White, the Beacon city administrator, is concerned enough about a cyberattack that he would prefer the city not be mentioned in a story about the threat. For good reason, municipalities are reluctant to present themselves as a target, discuss their security measures or share how they responded to being held hostage by hackers or having data stolen. The City of Newburgh learned in June how disruptive an attack can be. A "network security incident" disabled its ability to process payments for parking tickets, property taxes and services such as sewer and water. Earlier this month, the Goshen school district in Orange County said it had been victimized by a ransomware attack, in which hackers hijack systems and demand payment to restore access. The district said the attack disabled computer, email and phone systems. Every local government and school district, especially smaller ones without the staff and resources to adequately protect themselves, faces this potential for havoc. Along with demands for ransom, hackers could steal sensitive information about residents that is collected by every county, town and village. Earlier this year, the security company Sophos released the results of a survey of 5,000 IT leaders in 14 countries for its annual report, The State of Ransomware in Critical Infrastructure. The survey included 300 school districts and 270 local or state governments; 80 percent of the schools and 69 percent of the municipalities said they had been hit by ransomware demands in the past year. Of those, 62 percent of the schools and 54 percent of the governments paid. Of those who provided numbers, schools reported paying an average of $7.5 million and governments $5.3 million to recover their data. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center last year received nearly 27,000 complaints about cybercrimes in New York state, including online scams and data breaches, an 8 percent increase over 2022. Losses were estimated at $750 million. The most common scam reported nationally are "phishing" emails, which hackers design to resemble official correspondence in an effort to get the recipient to enter log-in information or click links or open attachments that install malicious software that can take control of a computer. These emails are the source of more than 90 percent of cyberattacks, according to the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). More than 75 percent of organizations say they have been the target of phishing, and more than half of all emails are malicious, according to DHSES. "It is a threat that keeps evolving and growing," said Steve Oscarlece, the acting commissioner for the Dutchess County Office of Central and Information Services (OCIS). "There can be significant financial costs, as well as to their reputations, and the interruption of services." In June, more than 200 people representing over 100 organizations attended an annual cybersecurity summit that Dutchess and Marist College began holding in 2022. The panel discussions included representatives from the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and DHSES, which has an Office of Counter Terrorism and a Cyber Incident Response Team. Attendees also witnessed a mock cyberattack staged by the Office of Counter Terrorism to illustrate how municipalities and organizations can respond. Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT have made phishing attempts harder to identify because they eliminate telltale signs of fraud such as misspellings or grammar errors. "It's made it easier for them to craft emails that look legitimate and are more likely to fool the recipient," said Jacob Morrison, the deputy commissioner for OCIS. At the same time, Morrison said, artificial intelligence is being used by organizations to bolster their defenses and by cybersecurity companies to improve the ability of software to detect attacks. Other countermeasures include educating employees on id...

This Day in Legal History: Harlan Fiske Stone DiesOn April 22, 1946, the United States Supreme Court lost one of its distinguished jurists, Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, who died unexpectedly at the age of 73 while still serving on the bench. Appointed as Chief Justice in 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Stone had originally been nominated to the Court as an Associate Justice in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge. His tenure as Chief Justice was marked by a strong commitment to the principles of judicial restraint and a profound respect for the Constitution.Stone's legal philosophy was notably pragmatic and centered on a belief in judicial deference to the decisions of Congress and the executive, except in clear cases of constitutional violation. This approach was reflective of his broader views on the role of the judiciary in American democracy, emphasizing that courts should not interfere with policy decisions unless absolutely necessary. Under his leadership, the Court navigated through complex issues including war-time rights, separation of powers, and economic regulation.Chief Justice Stone is particularly remembered for his opinion in the landmark case of United States v. Darby in 1941, which upheld the Fair Labor Standards Act and marked a departure from the Court's earlier resistance to extensive federal regulation of the economy. This decision demonstrated his nuanced understanding of the balance between state and federal powers and his support for broader legislative authority in economic matters.During his time as Chief Justice, Stone also oversaw the filling of all seats on the Court, shaping its composition and, indirectly, its jurisprudence. He was instrumental in fostering a collegial atmosphere among the justices, despite the ideological differences that often characterized the Court's deliberations.Stone's sudden death, from a cerebral hemorrhage suffered during a public session of the Court, marked a dramatic close to a career deeply embedded in the fabric of American legal history. His death underscored his dedication to his role, having served until his very last moments. His legacy is reflected in the decisions and directions the Court took under his stewardship, especially in the affirmation of federal power and the protection of civil liberties.Harlan Fiske Stone's era as Chief Justice was a pivotal period in the Supreme Court's history, reflecting a transition in American jurisprudence from strict constitutional literalism to a more flexible, interpretative approach that considered the realities of a changing society. His leadership helped steer the Court through the turbulence of the Great Depression, World War II, and the beginning of the Cold War, leaving a lasting impact on the judicial landscape of America.The U.S. Supreme Court is revisiting the issue of homelessness for the first time in 40 years, taking up the case of Grants Pass v. Johnson. This case emerges from a small city in Oregon, known for its natural beauty, where local ordinances impose fines on individuals sleeping in public with bedding, a matter now being evaluated under the Eighth Amendment's clause against cruel and unusual punishment. Grants Pass, despite its growth and beauty, lacks permanent public shelters, leading homeless advocates to support the removal of such punitive measures due to the absence of housing alternatives.The city argues that such issues should remain under local and state jurisdiction, allowing for more creative, localized solutions. Meanwhile, opposing voices, including various scholars and homelessness advocates, argue that these laws unfairly penalize the involuntarily homeless and potentially shift focus from penalization to more constructive solutions like increasing housing availability. This case could set a significant legal precedent affecting how municipalities nationwide address homelessness.The Ninth Circuit Court previously struck down the Grants Pass ordinances, siding with those who argued that without sufficient shelter space, individuals have no choice but to sleep outside, thus making the city's fines for public sleeping inherently unjust. The Supreme Court's prior engagement with homelessness was decades ago, focusing more on protest rights than the broader implications of homelessness laws.With homelessness rates at a record high across the U.S., the outcome of this case could redefine the legal landscape surrounding how cities manage their homeless populations. It reflects a critical juncture where the judiciary may redefine the boundaries of local governance in dealing with social crises, especially when it comes to balancing punitive measures with human rights considerations.Supreme Court Tackles Homelessness for First Time in DecadesTop law firms are increasingly bypassing traditional on-campus recruiting events, opting to engage directly with potential recruits earlier in their academic careers. This shift, driven by the desire to secure top talent before competitors, involves firms offering positions to law students before they complete their first year, significantly ahead of the usual on-campus interviews (OCI) controlled by law schools and the National Association for Law Placement (NALP). As a result, firms like Morrison Foerster indicate that direct hires might comprise about half of their new class, as waiting for OCIs might cause them to miss out on desirable candidates.This trend has led to a snowball effect with other major firms like Weil Gotshal & Manges and Jones Day opening their applications for summer programs well before traditional timelines, sometimes as early as mid-April. This causes them to make hiring decisions based on a smaller academic record, compressing the timeline for law students to decide their career paths. Moreover, the pandemic has facilitated a shift towards virtual interviews, further speeding up the recruitment process and allowing more firm partners to participate without the logistical challenges of travel.However, this compressed timeline poses challenges both for students, who have less time to understand their legal careers fully, and for firms, which must ensure they are still hiring candidates who will succeed in the long term. To adapt, some firms, like Morrison Foerster, are considering incorporating new assessments or writing exercises into their interview processes.Law schools are also adjusting to this new landscape by moving their OCI sessions earlier, as seen at Howard University and other top schools like Yale and Stanford. This aligns more closely with the timing of firm applications, putting additional pressure on students to make quick decisions, often with incomplete information from their first year of studies.The changes in recruiting practices reflect a broader move towards a more aggressive, market-driven approach to hiring, emphasizing efficiency and early engagement with potential hires. This evolution in the legal recruitment field underscores the competitive nature of hiring for prestigious law firms and the significant impact these early decisions can have on the careers of young lawyers.Big Law Skips Ahead of On-Campus Recruiting in Race for TalentThe criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump has commenced in New York, marking the first-ever trial of a former president. Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records, related to a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. This payment, intended to ensure Daniels' silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, is accused of misleading voters during the critical final stages of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has denied the allegations, pleading not guilty to all charges.Prosecutors are presenting this case as part of a larger "catch and kill" strategy, where Trump, along with Cohen and David Pecker, former CEO of American Media, aimed to suppress damaging stories prior to the 2016 election. This strategy reportedly included payments to Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both intended to prevent stories about Trump's extramarital affairs from surfacing. American Media, under Pecker's leadership, admitted to these practices as part of a non-prosecution agreement.The trial will feature testimony from Pecker and at least 20 other witnesses, with proceedings expected to last six to eight weeks. Cohen, a central figure in the case, may face credibility challenges due to his own legal history. Trump's defense argues that the payments were personal matters and not campaign-related expenditures.The legal battle unfolds as Trump remains a significant figure in American politics, actively campaigning for a return to the presidency in a tight race against Joe Biden. Despite the charges, Trump's political support among Republicans has surged. The trial's outcome could influence the broader political landscape, especially as Trump also faces other criminal charges related to different aspects of his political and post-presidential activities.Trump hush-money trial kicks off with opening statements in New York | ReutersTikTok has voiced concerns about a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that could lead to a ban of the app if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, does not divest its stake within a specified timeframe. The bill, which saw a significant majority approval in the House, is now headed to the Senate and has the support of President Joe Biden. U.S. officials, including members from both major political parties and the Biden administration, argue that TikTok poses a national security risk due to potential data sharing with the Chinese government.TikTok, however, has refuted claims that it has shared or would share U.S. user data and insists that the bill infringes on the free speech rights of its 170 million American users. The company has likened the move to censorship, echoing its response to a previous state-level ban in Montana. Additionally, the American Civil Liberties Union and other free speech advocates have criticized the bill, suggesting it does not effectively counter the broader issues of data privacy and foreign disinformation efforts.Senator Mark Warner expressed concerns on national television about TikTok being used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese government, while others argue for the necessity of more robust data privacy legislation rather than a ban. Representative Ro Khanna mentioned that a ban might not hold up under legal scrutiny due to constitutional free speech protections. Amidst these debates, the bill aims to accelerate the divestiture process by setting a firmer deadline for ByteDance, underlining the ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding technology and data security between the U.S. and China.TikTok says US House bill that could ban app would 'trample' free speech | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In this episode hosted by Bianca Morello, we speak with two second-year law students. We touch on OCIs, as all three of us had very different paths and OCI outcomes. We also talk about our study habits, the importance of grades, the importance of friendships, and the difficulties of online school.

Today I sit down with my law school BFF, my ride or die Yasmin, who is my law school mentor, one of the first people I met at UTK Law ever and the person that helped me get through it the last 3 years. We don't see each other everyday now like we used to but whenever we are together we have a blast reminiscing, gossiping and of course reflecting on law school and all the ups and downs of being a lawyer (for her, she's been practicing 2 years!) We had an impromptu girls weekend in a random cabin in middle TN and decided to record a wine night chat all about these ups and downs and lessons we learned along the way. We also talk about her experience with the Bar Exam during peak covid no less, OCIs to get a job, journals and getting involved on campus during law school. Plus she shares her experience in BigLaw which is highly coveted but not always spoken candidly about so I'm especially excited for this convo. I get asked so often my advice and tips for law school but I'm only one person with one experience so I love being able to use this podcast to share others with you in addition to mine. She has some incredible advice and insight that I've been privy to for the last years and I am so grateful for our friendship so I hope you enjoy a sneak peak into it and gain some valuable tips about life, career and more. If you want more of Yasmin check her out on Tik Tok and ask us any questions for a part 2, we love any excuse to do a happy hour girls chat! In my intro I get a little mushy with you on how I'm feeling this week going into graduation weekend and I want to do a whole solo pod on this in June so ask me any questions on IG DMs about any of this. As I begin bar prep and go off social media in the next month this will be the best way to check in with me so be sure to subscribe to stay tuned!

There is much that is still unknown about Omicron, the newest Sars-CoV-2 variant, that has been designated as a 'variant of concern' by the World Health Organisation. The variant was first reported in South Africa on November 24, and has since, spread to over 15 countries or regions, as of now. In response, several countries have begun imposing travel restrictions and closing borders, similar to what we saw happening last year, during the initial waves of the pandemic. Omicron is a heavily mutated strain, with over 32 mutations in the spike protein of the virus, some in part of the protein required for binding to human receptor proteins for entry into cells. This has raised concerns that the variant may be more transmissable and also that it may hamper the efficacy of our current treatments for the disease. Another concern has been that the variant may have vaccine escape properties. However, scientists will require possibly several more weeks before they can determine whether any of these concerns are valid. What do we now know about the variant? Are travel restrictions and bans really effective, given that the new variant is already spreading? With India having vaccinated nearly 80% of the eligible population with the first dose and about 38% with both doses, what more needs to be done to take measures against the new variant?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.25.114868v1?rss=1 Authors: Jablonski, L., Harczos, T., Wolf, B., Hoch, G., Dieter, A., Hessler, R., Ayub, S., Ruther, P., Moser, T. Abstract: In case of deafness, cochlear implants bypass dysfunctional or lost hair cells by direct electrical stimulation (eCIs) of the auditory nerve. However, spectral selectivity of eCI sound coding is low as the wide current spread from each electrode activates large sets of neurons that align to a place-frequency (tonotopic) map in the cochlea. As light can be better confined in space, optical cochlear implants (oCIs) promise to overcome this shortcoming of eCIs. This requires fine-grained, fast, and power-efficient real-time sound analysis and control of multiple microscale emitters. Here, we describe the development, characterisation, and application for hearing restoration of a preclinical low-weight and wireless LED-based multichannel oCI system and its companion eCI system. The head-worn oCI system enabled deaf rats to perform a locomotion task in response to acoustic stimulation proofing of concept of multichannel optogenetic hearing restoration in rodents.

1L student Ethan Edwards is joined by Travis Usher, a senior recruitment partner with ZSA Legal Recruitment. In this episode, we explore some basics of interviewing for new law students preparing to apply for legal positions such as clinics, summer jobs, and OCIs. Travis talks about his experiences in law school and shares some insights about working in the legal profession. Travis offers advice for successful legal interviews including preparation, answering questions, and some interviewing do-nots.

Anxiety is a double-edged sword. It affects one’s performance, and may even become detrimental to finding a fulfilling career in law. The lack of dialogue on the topic at a firm can further exacerbate the experience felt by each individual and ultimately lead to departure. In the uphill battle of our high performing profession, Samson Chan offers his perspective as a leader of the Asian Canadian legal community in British Columbia, and as a star associate at McMillan LLP. In a profession where stress and anxiety seem inevitable, Samson weighs in on how to manage stress and failure while staying successful. Optimistic by nature, Samson maintained his cool even after not landing directly at a firm through OCIs. His past experience as a pre-med student who chose an alternative career in law helped prepare him for handling pushback. He is a representation of the saying “there’s no one path to success.” Samson’s wisdom is poignant and relatable. His past experiences with failing honed his perseverance and helped him keep the focus on what he wants out of his career. As an Asian-Canadian lawyer, Samson acknowledges that culturally there is a perfectionist tendency that is self-imposed and/or stemming from expecting relatives and parents. The added pressure as a visible minority in the law firm reflects on the need to shift entrenched perspectives and “norms”. Samson advocates for breaking out of the stereotypical and recognizing that one can pursue multiple passions - like working in business and law concurrently. He practices what he says by working as a strategic advisor for a startup while balancing his busy associate practice. For students and young associates dealing with anxiety, Samson offered three practical tips on how to stay balanced: (1) Have friends in different industries besides law (2) Be involved in groups or organizations that bring diverse perspectives (3) Find someone who will vouch for you. One last take away from Samson? If he was back to the day before he started law school, he would tell his younger self not to take things too personally. When it comes to hiring, firms are ultimately a business, and there’s a variety of reasons they might not choose you at that moment, you can create value with what you bring regardless of where you are. -- For details on our upcoming Beyond the A workshop on interviews on Sat, September 14, visit: https://beyondthea.co/events/2019/9/14/interview-oci-workshop-vancouver

This week we take a close look at the process of recruitment that dominates law school for second and third year students. Eager to find a position that will be a resume builder and begin paying off tuition debt, students compete in a process known as the “OCIs” (“On-Campus Interviews”), for either summer positions or articling jobs in big Bay Street firms. OCIs are a multi-stage process involving on-campus interviews, in-firm interviews, cocktails parties and dinners – and a lot of nail-biting waiting for a call-back. Our focus here is the 2L summer position OCI recruitment process, and we have recorded comments from a number of students who have just completed this months-long process – some got jobs, some did not. We also talk to Kim Orr, a two-year call and a lawyer with Paccioco and Mellow in Windsor, about her OCIs experience. In other news: Malcolm Mercer (treasurer of the Law Society of Ontario) has published a column for SLAW magazine discussing sharp practice by lawyers; a recent article from The Tyee looks at Gladue Reports, access to justice, and the ways in which the Canadian justice system isn’t doing enough for Indigenous communities; and Julie has been featured on another podcast, “The Law School Show”, speaking with students about her work for the NSRLP, her experiences that have led to this point, and sharing some insights on the legal profession.
