Today, Hunter is Re-Releasing his episode with Professor of Law Corinna Lain becuase her book, Secretes of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection, is now available! If you haven't listened already or picked up a copy of the book, now is great time to remember the hisotry of lethal injection and what that history means for the death peanlty today! https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Killing-State-Untold-Injection/dp/1479832960 Today, Hunter spoke with Law Professor Corinna Lain to discuss her career of research around the death penalty and lethal injection. While it may seem strange to hyper focus on lethal injection, there is something to be said about understanding how and why lethal injection became the defacto method for state sanctioned murder. When lethal injection was offered to the American people, it was designed to do one simple thing: hide the reality of state sponsored murder. So long as people could look away from the violence of the state, they could place execution out of mind. In doing so, the practice could continue in relative secrecy. Today's episode is about lifting the shroud on that secrecy to examine the way the lethal injection is just as, if not more, violent, cruel, and unusual and any other form of execution.

People. We're complicated creatures. We can be compassionate. We can fall in love. Sometimes we don't care for each other, but here we are. Also, some people cross the lines of propriety, causing emotional or even physical harm to others on our teams, whether we work with them, for them, or whether we supervise them. And sometimes we work more than regular hours, either because we're directed to or because we're willing to do what it takes to help our teams succeed. The workplace can be a labyrinth of tricky situations, and employers need to know how to make sure workers are able to navigate them smoothly, appropriately, and within changing laws and regulations. Our guest is Leah M. Stiegler, a principal attorney at Woods Rogers, who comes to the podcast with extensive experience across a broad spectrum of employment law matters. Leah is a trusted advisor to employers, providing guidance on complex personnel issues, performance management challenges, and fostering a positive work culture. Leah earned her J.D. from University of Richmond School of Law, cum laude, Order of the Coif, and her B.A. and B.S. degrees from Virginia Tech, summa cum laude. Listen as Leah shares practical solutions for a variety of challenges, like love at work, pregnancy at work, discord at work, harassment at work, and working overtime. She talks about gender identity protections, implicit biases, and microaggressions, plus conducting administrative investigations, and ideas to mitigate risk, stay out of court, and maintain a positive work environment. Thanks to Leah for sharing her insights on issues that arise where many of us spend most of our waking hours – at work! Her enthusiasm and passion for this work will be obvious to anyone who listens.

Send us a textIn this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by two legal experts, Professor Corinna Lain from the University of Richmond School of Law and Professor Danielle Wingfield, to discuss the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity. The conversation explores how the 2024 SCOTUS decision in Trump v. United States builds on earlier cases like Nixon v. Fitzgerald and Clinton v. Jones, granting former presidents greater immunity from prosecution, even for potentially criminal acts performed in office. The professors delve into the broader implications of the ruling, the balance of powers between the executive branch and other government bodies, and the unsettling possibilities for future presidents to push the boundaries of their authority without legal consequence. They also touch on the potential long-term effects on public trust and accountability in American democracy.Tune in to learn more about this critical case, how it shifts the boundaries of presidential power, and why it's crucial to pay attention as the future of democracy hangs in the balance.Guests Bio:Danielle Wingfield: Professor Wingfield joined Richmond Law from Gonzaga University School of Law where she served as a fellow and visiting assistant professor.

Co-hosts Michael O'Donnell and Bethany Abele welcomed special guest Scott Sumner, Vice President and Underwriting Counsel of Fidelity National Financial, who has played various roles in his 21-year career, including serving as NJ State Counsel and NJ State Manager for the business operations. Scott provided insights as to what title agents can do to get their deals closed efficiently, including urging agents to raise potential issues as early as possible and to provide all known facts to the underwriting counsel. Some of the more challenging situations that Scott addressed were tidelands searches, bankruptcies and mortgage foreclosures, and application of the new Community Wealth Preservation Act. He also discussed the ramifications of two new State statutes on tax sale foreclosures. In addition, Scott shared details of one complex project, an energy generation facility on the Raritan River with a cable extending to the NY state line, presenting myriad title issues. Finally, Scott also had recommendations for affinity groups that young professionals in the industry should seek out, including the NJ Land Title Association, American Land Title Association, state and county bar associations, and others. Then three of Riker Danzig's Summer Associates provided summaries of some recent decisions affecting the title insurance industry that are posted on the firm's blog on banking, real estate and title insurance. Brandon Li, a rising third-year law student at Seton Hall University School of Law, discussed NorthMarq Financial, Ltd. v. Fidelity National Title Insurance Company decided in federal court in Colorado. In the case, the Court rejected the insured's claim for defense and indemnity for mechanic's liens on a construction project for a senior living center. Brandon said the case highlights the need for parties to include specific endorsements if they want coverage for post-policy liens. Georgia Macedo Cardoso is also a rising third-year law student at Seton Hall University School of Law. Georgia discussed 771 Allison Court LLC v. Sirianni, in which the New Jersey Appellate Division decided that the failure to disclose a right of first refusal clause in a prior deed prevented good, marketable, and insurable title from being delivered at closing. Georgia said the case confirms the obvious: any seller of real estate should be forthcoming and disclose a right of first refusal before entering into any real estate contract and should not take shortcuts. Keshav Agiwal, a rising third-year law student at the University of Richmond School of Law, discussed Nationstar Mortgage, L.L.C. v. Scarville, decided in the Court of Appeals in Ohio. The case involved the doctrine of lis pendens and the timeliness of a third party's motion to intervene in a foreclosure litigation. Keshav suggested two major takeaways from this case: one is the importance for parties to know the intricacies of various state law doctrines, such as lis pendens and how it is used in one state versus another. The other big takeaway is that a buyer of property needs to know that property's history of litigation and what litigation the property may still be involved in or could be in the future.

Geeta Tholan got a second chance within her legal career after a 10-year break to take care of her children. Her journey highlights the challenges and triumphs of transitioning back into the workforce after an extended hiatus. Initially drawn to international law and diplomacy, Geeta found herself navigating a diverse array of roles, from giving voice to the pharmaceutical industry during biological weapons prevention treaty negotiations to energy law and consulting. Both before and during her hiatus, she grappled with feelings of uncertainty and guilt, torn between societal expectations and personal fulfillment. When it was time to return to work, however, she struggled to find an employer to take her on. Eventually she found the OnRamp Fellowship from Diversity Lab, designed to support individuals reentering the workforce after career breaks. Her transition back to work, amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, saw her leveraging her newfound perspective and honed skills to support Pfizer's efforts in global vaccine distribution and legal compliance. Geeta's story serves as an inspiring testament to the resilience and potential of individuals seeking to reignite their professional journeys, offering hope and encouragement to those navigating similar paths of career reinvention.

In patent and copyright law, injunctions are now a subject of significant policy debate. Innovators say they are unable to stop predatory infringement. Creators state they are unable to stop large-scale piracy websites. If so, this undermines the rewards promised by the intellectual property system and devalues the commercial assets that drive the global innovation economy in new technologies and creative works. Others state that intellectual property owners use injunctions to hold up innovation or chill legitimate commercial activity. This panel will discuss the role of injunctions in facilitating or constraining commercialization of patented technologies and copyrighted works, and what the current state of the law portends for the future, such as in the development of next-generation innovations like AI and its use of creative works.Featuring:Hon.

The city's school board approved a third-party investigation into the June 6 Huguenot High School graduation shooting that killed a graduating student and his stepfather. Last month, the school board received a 7-page internal review of the shooting — including districtwide recommendations to implement. Those included adopting enhanced security protocol for all graduations and large events, as well as more robust mental health and communication plans in the event of future crises. That report wasn't enough for board members like Shonda Harris-Muhammed, who has lingering questions about Richmond Public Schools' responsibility in keeping students and staff safe — and preventing another incident in the future.

Walker, Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School- Jonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director, Cicero Institute
The United States is constitutionally not one, but fifty-one, democracies. How can they all fit together? The oldest issue in our republic is the relation between the federal and state governments: where does the democratic decision-making power of one leave off and the other begin? The question remains relevant today on such issues as the proper locus of decisions about abortion. But the relation of the states to one another is now also pressing as states deploy their authority to influence the democratic decision making of other states, on issues as disparate as gun and climate policy. Are the proper boundaries between our different democracies best policed by the judiciary or by democratic politics?Featuring:Moderator: Hon. Andrew Oldham, The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth CircuitProf. Ilya Somin, Professor of Law, George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law SchoolProf. Jud Campbell, Professor of Law, University of Richmond School of LawProf. Michael S.

The Heritage Foundation is honored to announce that Professor Kurt Lash, the E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Chair in Law at the University of Richmond School of Law, will deliver this year's Edwin Meese III Originalism Lecture for his speech titled, “Originalism and Fixing the Fourteenth Amendment.”This annual lecture seeks to honor former Attorney General Ed Meese's legacy of advancing an understanding and jurisprudence of originalism. When the Framers wrote the Constitution, “Their intention was to write a document not just for their times but for posterity,” Meese said in a 1985 speech to the D.C. Chapter of the Federalist Society Lawyers Division. Meese reiterated the theme of Original Intention in several speeches, warning of the danger of “seeing the Constitution as an empty vessel into which each generation may pour its passion and prejudice.” The Great Debate that he launched over three decades ago placed the idea of judicial originalism at the center of American jurisprudence and fundamentally altered the constitutional landscape of this nation.Today, originalism is no longer a novel concept; instead, it is now widely embraced in legal circles, including academia and the judiciary. Building on the work of Ed Meese, this lecture aims to continue the conversation he started and examine new trends and themes in originalist thought today. Please join us for our second annual lecture.Professor Kurt Lash: Professor Lash is the E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Richmond where he teaches and writes about constitutional law. He is also the founder and director of the Richmond Program on the American Constitution. He has published numerous works on the subjects of constitutional history, theory, and law, including The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges or Immunities of American Citizenship (Cambridge University Press, 2014), The Lost History of the Ninth Amendment (Oxford University Press, 2009), and The American First Amendment in the Twenty-first Century: Cases and Materials (with William W. Van Alstyne) (5th ed., Foundation Press). In 2021, University of Chicago Press published Professor Lash's two-volume collection of original documents relating to the framing and ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. Titled The Reconstruction Amendments: Essential Documents, the collection is the first of its kind. He is currently working on A Troubled Birth of Freedom: The Struggle to Amend the Constitution in the Aftermath of the Civil War (forthcoming, Yale University Press). Hosted on Acast.

A world without words; the chilling babblings of Bing's ChatGPT A.I. The Orwell Estate should sue everyone in power for copyright violation - “It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”When the bosses erase words from the common memory, they destroy a full range of communication. When the power structure absolves words of the responsibility to carry any meaning, they remove mein itself. All of this is being done by The Party, just as warned in the Internet meme: “1984 was a warning, not a to do list” is busily trash-binning meaning and the ability to share thoughts. For instance, they cannot reasonably be called insults, but theNew York Times has yet another list of words they have stricken. These words describe people indigenous to North America as brave leaders of a tribe. Remember the 9/11 meets Pearl Harbor meets D-Day of January 6th and the insurrection. Speaking of dangerous extremism, you better toss out your Shakespear, because reading classics is a sure sign you have been radicalized. Nancy Pelosi's daughter had another word she called it in private, a word she self-censors in front of us. Once, there was power in the words present in the positive attributes attached of the word father or dad, beauty, gentility, responsibility, sacrifice, stewardship, protection, provider, bravery and moral teacher. What is the word for two men who chose the baby they Instagram-it-up with and will apparently allow to grow up in their midst when the point of their video--and their joy--is they carefully rejected thousands of egg donors whose hair was not sufficiently thick, eyes were degrees below “super wide” and whose egg producer flunked a Zoom interview? Curators? Collectors? Poseurs? As The Party attempts to break the human soul apart so that we cannot convey emotions beyond “I'm jazzed: or “I'm pissed”, how do we protect ourselves and our kids? What does God say? God seems to value words. John 1The Word Became Flesh1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome] it.The Lord seems to value expression.

A special episode of the Law Enforcement Today Radio Show from the roof of the building overlooking the U.S. Capitol Building at 400 North Capitol Street in Washington D.C. This was at the Federation For American Immigration Reform's annual Feet 2 the Fire Radio Row event. We were one of 66 radio shows invited. Our guest Tony Pham was born in South Vietnam two years before the fall of Saigon. Like many other freedom-seeking Vietnamese, his family fled the communist regime in 1975. As a young child, Mr. Pham witnessed his parents sacrifice tremendously to rebuild their lives in a new and wonderful country. In 1985, the Phams were rewarded with their naturalized citizenship. Mr. Pham watched his parents work relentlessly as laborers to support a family and to put him through school at the College of William and Mary and then the University of Richmond School of Law. In 2020, Mr. Pham was appointed Principal Legal Advisor for ICE and later that year was named Acting Director of ICE later that year. In his capacity as Acting Director of ICE, Mr. Pham worked to ensure that the nation's immigration laws were enforced in so-called sanctuary jurisdictions that harbor criminal aliens.

IN THE NEWS:Glenn Youngkin is vetoing over two dozen bills, which is more than any recent governor in their first year. Democrats say they were blind-sided and that the Governor cares more about politics than policy.Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria) wins the award for most bills vetoed - nine. He says its retribution for voting against Andrew Wheeler's nomination for Sec. of Natural Resources. The politics of revenge is not unheard of in Richmond, so what comes next?Finally, we discuss what the bills did that Youngkin vetoed, such as Del. Cia Price's bill to give local governments the authority to crack down on slumlords and another bill from Del. Nadarious Clark (D-Portsmouth) that would have created a statute of limitations to collect medical debt.INTERVIEW: Chris Saxman, Executive Director of VA Free and Beck Stanley, director of government affairs for the Virginia Agribusiness Council. the power duo are part of a team that teaches a class on lobbying at the University of Richmond School of Professional and Continuing Studies. If you've only ever seen Schoolhouse Rock's explanation of how a bill becomes a law, you may not have a complete picture of how it works. The people who lobby state government aren't exactly corporate fat cats--the interests they represent are as diverse as the subject matter expertise required to advocate effectively for a bill. Saxman and Stanley provide an introduction to how lobbying works and what it takes to become one.
