Rhode Island's two-member U.S. House delegation has turned over in the last few years. In the Second District, Congressman Jim Langevin dropped a surprise announcement in 2022 that he would not seek re-election after 22 years in office. Then First District Congressman David Cicilline, initially elected in 2010, made his unexpected departure last year. That latter move opened the door for Gabe Amo, a son of West African immigrants, to become the first person of color to represent Rhode Island in Congress. Along the way, the moderate pro-business candidate beat 10 primary rivals. But Amo now faces being part of the minority party in Washington as Democrats adjust to the new reality of Donald Trump's second term in the White House. What does this Pawtucket native think his party needs to do differently to find its way back? How does Amo expect the Trump administration to affect the federal government? And what level of responsibility does he assign Democrats for the party's struggles?

As of 4:30 Wednesday morning, the Associated Press projects Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States.Republican Senator Roger Wicker has won a fourth term in office. All four of the state's congressmen have maintained their positions in office. In the First District, Republican Trent Kelly.

We're back after a very long hiatus with a new co-host and a new horrific case. In July 1985, a widowed tobacco heiress and her three children were preparing to leave for an errand when their Chevrolet Suburban exploded in their driveway, killing Margaret Benson and her son, Scott and severely injuring her daughter, Carol Lynn. Unraveling this case exposes the soft white underbelly of a wealthy yet dysfunctional family including dark family secrets, decades of manipulation, and a cancerous greed. But who could hate the Bensons enough to want the entire family dead?    Sources:  Mewshaw, M. (2001). Money to Burn, The True Story of the Benson Family Murders. Touchstone Greenya, J. (1987).

Here's Episode 85 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! They did it! Delta County voters sent pink slips to three extreme Christian Nationalist MAGA county commissioners in recall races this week! This is an area that's recently turned from blue to red, which is why that extreme brand of right-wing politics gained a hold of the county board. But after just one year in power, the people rejected that kind of extremism in their community, and voted for all three recall challengers this week, including good friend of the podcast, Democrat Kelli Van Ginhoven! Congrats, Kelli! But there was another major victory which is equally sending shockwaves across the state of Michigan.  Right-wing Christian Nationalist Lucy Ebel lost her seat in humiliating fashion to Democrat Christian Kleinjans in the Second District of the Ottawa County Board! It was a shot across the bow of the right-wing Ottawa Impact majority, which, like the MAGA majority on the Delta board, created nothing but cruelty and chaos on their community. And like the recall effort in Delta County, it took devoted people to get the recall effort started.  Joe Spaulding, who has tons of experience in grassroots politics, played a key role in getting Lucy Ebel recalled. He joins us to talk about this victory, and why he believes this could serve as a harbinger of things to come this November. Finally, the "Last Call" focuses on how Michigan Senate Democrats passed a bill expanding the state's prevailing wage to include clean energy projects. Once again, Michigan Democrats are showing how they value workers and the state's economic future.

Florida Refuses to Offset Tort Damages with Bad Faith Damages from an Underinsured Motorist Insurer The Florida Supreme Court was asked to resolve a certified question from a lower court about whether a personal injury damages award must be reduced by a payment the plaintiff received to settle a bad faith claim against his uninsured motorist insurance carrier. In Alberta S. Ellison v. Randy Willoughby, No. SC2021-1580, Supreme Court of Florida (November 2, 2023) the Supreme Court answered the questions posed. FACTS Respondent/plaintiff Randy Willoughby was badly injured in a car crash. After the accident, he sued Petitioner/defendant Alberta Ellison, bringing a vicarious liability claim based on Ellison's co-ownership of the other car in the crash. Willoughby also sued his own uninsured motorist insurance carrier to recover policy benefits and for statutory bad faith damages. Willoughby and his insurer settled before trial for $4 million. The subsequent trial against Ellison resulted in a $30 million jury verdict for Willoughby. Ellison then asked the trial court to set off the $4 million insurance settlement against the damages award, but the court denied the motion. The Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the denial of the set off request. It also certified this two-part question as one of great public importance. Is a settlement payment made by an uninsured motorist insurer to settle a first-party bad faith claim subject to set off under section 768.041(2) or a collateral source within the meaning of section 768.76? The court answered no to both parts of the question, holding that neither statute authorized a set off in this case. The Second District explained that, writing on a blank slate, it would have found Ellison entitled to a set off under section 768.041(2), but it decided that the Supreme Court's case law precluded that result. Based on the parties' arguments and the Supreme Court's review of the record, the Supreme Court determined that Ellison did not ask the trial court for a set off under section 768.041(2) and refused to consider the issue. The Supreme Court rephrased the question posed to it to read: “Is a settlement payment made by an uninsured motorist insurer to settle a first-party bad faith claim a collateral source within the meaning of section 768.76(2)(a)2.?” Although Willoughby sued his uninsured motorist insurance carrier both for the $10,000 limit allowed under his policy and for bad faith damages, his $4 million insurance settlement was undifferentiated (as to claims and categories of damages). Subject to certain exceptions, section 768.76(1) mandates damage award reductions for sums that the plaintiff has received from "collateral sources." The Supreme Court noted that bad faith damages are not "benefits" for purposes of the collateral source definition in section 768.76(2)(a)2. First-party bad faith claims like Willoughby's are a creature of statute, not of the underlying insurance contract between the parties. In particular, the damages recoverable in an uninsured motorist insurance bad faith claim are set out in a statute to be "the total amount of the claimant's damages, including the amount in excess of the policy limits, any interest on unpaid benefits, reasonable attorney's fees and costs, and any damages caused by a violation of a law of this state." The Florida Supreme Court characterized statutory bad faith damages as a penalty. By "extracontractual," the Supreme Court meant that first-party bad faith damages are over and above the amount owed pursuant to the express terms and conditions of the policy after all of the conditions precedent of the insurance policy in respect to payment are fulfilled. The Supreme Court answered its rephrased question with a "no" ZALMA OPINION The $30 Million verdict was not offset by the $4 Million bad faith (c) 2023 Barry Zalma & ClaimSchool, Inc. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

Arson for Profit Scheme Defeated by RescissionPosted on September 14, 2023 by Barry Zalma Rescission of Insurance for Innocent Misrepresentation of Material Facts See the full video at https://rumble.com/v3hdpj2-arson-for-profit-scheme-defeated-by-rescission.html  and at https://youtu.be/CAarrB84t6E Back in 2001 I examined James E. Mitchell under oath on behalf of his insurer, United National Insurance Company who admitted to misrepresenting material facts when he applied for the insurance. As a result of that EUO and the testimony of the underwriter, United National decided to rescind the policy rather than accuse him of fraud and arson for profit, but still refuse his claim for fire damage and offered to return the premium he paid. Of course, in an expression of “chutzpah” (unlimited gall) he sued only to have the court conclude the rescission was appropriate. In James E. Mitchell, Individually and as Trustee of the Mitchell Family Trust v. United National Insurance Company, No. B170364, Court of Appeal, Second District, Division 5, 25 Cal.Rptr.3d 627, 127 Cal.App.4th 457 (March 8, 2005) the Court of Appeal established a standard for dealing with rescission of an insurance policy.  It concluded that an insurer may, under Insurance Code sections 331 and 359, rescind a fire insurance policy based on an insured's negligent or unintentional misrepresentation of a material fact in an insurance application. Because there was undisputed evidence that the insurer relied upon the misstatements of material facts in the insured's application for insurance, the summary judgment granted by the trial court was affirmed. During the policy period, the building was destroyed by arson. The arsonist, an acquaintance of Mitchell's, perished in the fire. The trial court granted summary judgment. Mitchell purchased the building in February 2000 in the name of his trust. On April 11, 2000, Mitchell's brokers applied for insurance to Debra Messina of Excess & Surplus Lines Insurance Brokers, Inc., an authorized underwriter for United National. Mitchell represented in the application that: the property to be insured consisted of a 3,420-square-foot commercial building; the building was to be used by Mitchell as a “video production studio and offices”; the business to be conducted in the building had $20,000 in payroll and generated $300,000 in receipts; there was no existing insurance on the building; the building had no uncorrected fire code violations; the building had a burglar alarm; and Records & Records & Filmworks, Inc. (later changed to James E. Mitchell) was the purchaser of the building. In fact, the seven representations were false including the fact that the building was subject to a City of Los Angeles abatement order stating that the building could not be occupied without a clearance or repaired without a permit and contained such deficiencies as being open to unauthorized entry, littered with combustible debris, excessive dry weeds or vegetation, broken windows, damaged or missing doors, damaged exterior wall covering, damaged interior wall and ceiling covering, and deteriorated flooring (and no permit had been obtained for corrective work on these deficiencies). Carl Robinson a business consultant with a prospective buyer for the property. Mitchell gave Robinson the keys to the property for the purpose of showing it to the prospective buyer. On November 22, 2000, while Mitchell was in Chicago, Robinson set fire to the building and was killed in the ensuing blaze. Although evidence indicated that Mitchell retained Robinson to burn the building, his death in the fire, made proving Robinson and Mitchell were working an arson-for-profit scheme, United National limited its denial of Mitchell's claim on the ground that it had rescinded the policy based on material misrepresentations in Mitchell's application for insurance. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

No Contract Compelling Arbitration Between Insurer and Insured No Arbitration In Alex Weingarten v. Certain Underwriters At Lloyd's, London Subscribing To Policy Number IML-0114N0-190029, B321148, California Court of Appeals, Second District, Fourth Division (March 23, 2023) Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, London (Lloyd's Underwriters) appealed from the trial court's order denying their motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Alex Weingarten's complaint for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent misrepresentation. FACTUAL BACKGROUND The Underlying Malpractice Action In 2013, Adam Levin, Tristen Lazareff, and Criterion Capital Partners, LLC, retained Weingarten Brown LLP to defend them in the case entitled MXB Holdings LP, et al. v. Adam Levin, et al (the MXB action). The retainer agreement (the Levin/Weingarten retainer agreement) contained an arbitration provision. Adam Levin and Criterion Capital Partners, LLC, filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court for legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty against Weingarten et al (the malpractice action). The complaint alleged Weingarten negligently represented the defendants in the MXB action. The parties later stipulated to arbitration before JAMS based on the arbitration provision in the retainer agreement. Weingarten notified Lloyd's Underwriters about the malpractice action, and Lloyd's Underwriters accepted the defense of the Weingarten defendants. The arbitrator found in favor of Adam Levin and Criterion Capital Partners, LLC, and issued an award that exceeded Weingarten's insurance coverage. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

Plaintiffs' and their Counsel's Bad Faith Defeats Suit Against Insurer No Good Deed Goes Unpunished - Plaintiffs Abused the Tort of Bad Faith Julio Palma and Miriam Cortez (the Plaintiffs) appealed an order granting summary judgment in a bad faith insurance case against Mercury Insurance Company (Mercury). Mercury insured Frank McKenzie, who killed Plaintiffs' son in a car crash. Plaintiffs obtained a $3 million judgment in a wrongful death action against McKenzie. McKenzie then assigned Plaintiffs his rights against Mercury, and Plaintiffs brought the present action against Mercury on the basis that it failed to accept their reasonable offer to settle their wrongful death claims. The trial court granted Mercury's motion for summary judgment after determining Plaintiffs never offered to settle their claims. In Julio Palma et al. v. Mercury Insurance Company, B309063, California Court of Appeals, Second District, Third Division (August 23, 2022) the Court of Appeals refused to buy plaintiffs' claims of bad faith. FACTUAL BACKGROUND In September 2012, Frank McKenzie was driving a vehicle that struck and killed Oscar Palma, who was riding a moped. At the time, McKenzie was insured under a Mercury insurance policy with bodily injury liability limits of $15,000 and property damage limits of $10,000. On October 15, 2012, attorney Paul Zuckerman sent Mercury a settlement letter that identified "Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma" as "Our Clients" and states: "Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma, demands that Mercury Insurance tender full policy limits to Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma to resolve their claim. The letter stated the offer was to remain open for 14 days, until October 29, 2012. Mercury retained attorney Jeffrey Lim and instructed him to accept the offer. On October 19, 2012, Lim faxed the Carpenter firm a letter stating Mercury "is tendering to the estate and all heirs of Oscar Palma Mr. McKenzie's $15,000 policy limits. Between March and July 2013, Mercury sent the Carpenter firm six letters "reiterat[ing]" its offer of the $15,000 bodily injury policy limits. Plaintiffs' Wrongful Death Action Against McKenzie On August 28, 2013, the Carpenter firm filed a lawsuit against McKenzie on behalf of Plaintiffs, Ana Guzman-Palma, and the "Estate of Oscar F. Palma, a deceased individual." Following a jury trial, the court entered judgment against McKenzie and in favor of Plaintiffs for $3 million on their wrongful death claims. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Jason Lewis wanted to finish what he started.His time in Congress was cut short, one of more than 20 casualties of the Trump midterms, when Democrats picked up a net total of over 40 seats in the House.One of his regrets: he didn't fight back hard enough.That's why he wrote “Party Animal: The Truth About President Trump, Power Politics and the Partisan Press.”“Yet no one defied these rules more than Donald Trump. And so did I. But not nearly enough. This book is an attempt to finish the job and tell the real side of the story,” Lewis writes in the introduction.  In "Party Animal," Lewis, a former congressman from Minnesota's Second District and veteran broadcaster, shares a vivid account of the radical left, the media, and politics in the public arena during the Trump presidency.Support the show

Zalma's Insurance Fraud Letter Volume 25, Number 20 https://zalma.com/blog Criminal Caused Suit on Policy to Drag on for More than Six Years Court Finally Stopped an Unconscionable Level of Overlitigation United States District Judge Gary R. Brown was faced with a legal dispute that, perhaps because the defendant was a criminal, went on for years without a final disposition. In Principal Life Insurance Company v. Jason P. Brand, No. CV 15-CV-3804, United States District Court, E.D. New York (September 29, 2021) the case was reduced to seven years on disputes that appeared to be relatively straightforward: defendant Brand obtained a disability policy in early 2012 from plaintiff Principal Life, after being less than forthcoming about his health history. In June 2014 – prior to the submission of Defendant's disability claim on November 14, 2014 – the New York State Attorney General's office raided Defendant's offices, seizing his computers and physical files, leading to indictment on October 16, 2014 of Defendant and his businesses, DASO Development Corp. and Narco Freedom, Inc., for insurance fraud in the first degree and grand larceny in the second degree, charges to which defendant would plead guilty. Defendant filed a disability claim based upon anxiety; Principal Life, for its part, acted quickly and rescinded the policy and Filed a declaratory relief action. Proactive Insurer Has to Fight to Renew Judgment Against Convicted Fraudster Insurer's $7,870,557.89 Judgment Against Fraudster Stands Insurer May Collect on Default Judgment Against Fraudster In People of The State of California, ex rel. Interinsurance Exchange of The Automobile Club of Southern California v. Alex Semyon Mirsky, B297321, California Court of Appeals, Second District, Seventh Division (September 21, 2021) Alex Semyon Mirsky appealed from the superior court's denial of a motion to vacate a 2013 renewal of a default judgment and the underlying default judgment. In 2003 the superior court entered a default judgment of over $7.8 million against Mirsky. Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club of Southern California (Interinsurance Exchange) renewed the judgment in 2013, and in 2018 it mailed notice of the renewal to Mirsky at an address Interinsurance Exchange claimed was Mirsky's last known address. Mirsky filed a motion to vacate the renewal of judgment, or, in the alterative, vacate the default judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 473, subdivision (d). The trial court denied the motion, concluding Mirsky's motion to vacate the renewal of judgment was untimely and Mirsky failed to meet his burden to show the default judgment was void.

The Center of the American West has teamed up with the CU Latinx Law Students to orchestrate a virtual event, bringing two noted scholars of immigration into a consequential conversation with Congressman Joe Neguse, representing Colorado's Second District. The goal was ambitious: to lay out terms that will position these knowledgeable scholars as allies and teammates of a dedicated public servant who is committed to finding solutions and resolutions to one of the nation's most challenging issues. Here were the bedrock questions for this discussion: a) If Congress were to prove able to reform immigration policy in a post-election arrangement of authority, what should be the top priorities for such reform? b) What are the most beneficial ways to mobilize historical understanding to improve the quality of public discussion of immigration and to guide national legislators as they deliberate? c) What are the most notable mistaken impressions of the roles played by immigrants in the nation, and what are the most effective channels of communication for correcting those misapprehensions?

"W" is for Watson, Albert William [1922-1994]. Legislator. Congressman. After service in World War II, Watson earned his law degree from USC and established a practice in Columbia. He served several terms in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1962 he was elected to Congress from the Second District as a Democrat and was reelected in 1964. In 1965, stripped of his seniority for supporting Republican Barry Goldwater for President, Watson resigned his seat and was reelected as a Republican in 1966 and 1968. In 1970, he ran for governor against John West. Watson was an opponent of desegregation and made several incendiary speeches—including one in Darlington County--which many believe triggered a riot in Lamar. And, he lost the election. Albert William Watson later served as a federal administrative law judge.

The Mraz matter is an in depth look into how a major personal injury case victory can be inadvertently turned into a sour loss by the failure to use Qualified Settlement Funds and simple language in settlement or verdict instructions. Guest Patrick Hindert, VP of Business Development for Independent Life and the co-author of the settlement industry bible " Structured settlements and periodic payments judgments" joins host Mark Wahlstrom in what is a primer on how to avoid potential legal malpractice when attempting to preserve the planning options for personal injury victims. The Mraz case refers to a case in the Court of Appeal, Second District, Division 3, California in a case A.M., a Minor, etc, et al., Plaintiff and Respondent, v Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP. The West Law reference is 2019 WL 2433188 and it looks at what was a massively successful verdict by the firm on behalf of a minor client, that inadvertently and through a lack of utilizing some of the available planning options for structured settlement planning, ended up in a dispute about the loss of rights to structure payments for the plaintiff. This is an ESSENTIAL case for structured settlement professionals and trial lawyers to pay attention to in that it looks at why Qualified Settlement Funds and 468B trust are such a vital, but under utilized tool in litigation as well as the failure to simply include instructions or notations that preserve the right of parties to structure payments.

Our guest for this week's installment of The Long View podcast is Morningstar managing director Don Phillips. Don was Morningstar's first mutual fund analyst and eventually became CEO of the firm; he established Morningstar's independent voice and mentored scores of analysts. He also helped develop many of the tools that investors today take for granted, such as the Morningstar Style Box and the Morningstar Rating for stocks (also known as the star rating). Throughout his career Don has worked to enact positive change in the fund industry, speaking out on issues such as misleading advertising and high-fee funds as well as the need for better shareholder disclosures. In this broad-ranging interview, Don discusses his path from a paper boy investor in Templeton Growth Fund to a job analyzing mutual funds at Chicago startup Morningstar in the mid-1980s. He also opines on the industry's evolution from the opaque, sales-driven culture that he encountered 30-plus years ago to its current emphasis on transparency and very low costs.

Who's in the Second District Race, Third District GOP Primary, and Hot Buttons by On Iowa Politics Podcast

For most of us, the holiday season brings to mind favorite food traditions, from stuffed turkeys to applesauce-laden latkes. Shoppers may make sure that their poultry is free range or their apples organic, but when we head to the supermarket to pick out groceries for holiday meals, how often do we consider the frontline retail workers who shape our shopping experience? Food retailers play an important role in communities, serving as major employers and anchor institutions. But local chains are facing challenges from market consolidation, new competitors, and new technologies that threaten to alter business operations and replace workers. Some stores are finding ways to differentiate and improve business performance by investing in workers – which helps them create exceptional customer service and cater to local communities. Research by the National Grocers Association, the trade association for independent supermarkets, indicates that more than 80 percent of consumers still prefer their local store to an online alternative, and they value local, quality items and friendly staff. This event explores how grocers can succeed – and can advance economic and racial equity – by investing in workers. Bringing together food access advocates, food retail leaders, and workforce development experts, we discuss what consumers, business owners, and policymakers can do to encourage good working conditions for the people behind our groceries. This event features Congressman Dwight Evans (US Representative for Pennsylvania's Second District), Claire Babineaux-Fontenot (CEO, Feeding America), Scott Emerick (Executive Director, YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School), Yael Lehmann (President & CEO, The Food Trust), Sailu Timbo (Director of Diversity, Hy-vee), and moderator Eric Kessler (Founder, Principal, and Senior Managing Director, Arabella Advisors). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

Few in the Texas Legislature have a district as diverse as Senator Dr. Robert Deuell of the Second District. Spanning east from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to all or part of Delta, Fannin, Hopkins and Van Zandt counties, Sen. Deuell has made his career on striking balances between big city and small town politics on the three major political hot buttons; education, transportation and water. I spoke with the six-term Senator recently about how transportation funding has changed since he took office and where he sees it going next.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas Mark Ridley-Thomas has represented the nearly 2.3 million people of the Second District on the Los Angeles County  Board of Supervisors since December 2008. During his first year in office, he shepherded through an agreement with the University of California to provide medical services at the new Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital, scheduled to open in late 2012. He also persuaded the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to fund a light rail system from Crenshaw Boulevard to Los Angeles International Airport and move up the opening from 2029 to as early as 2016. Together, the hospital and rail projects will generate more than $2 billion in spending and create over 16,000 jobs. Ridley-Thomas is the first African American man ever to serve on the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors. His district  includes Carson, Compton, Culver City, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood and Lynwood, portions or all of 10 Los Angeles City Council Districts and the unincorporated communities of Alondra Park, Athens, Del Aire, Dominguez, East Compton, El Camino Village, Florence, Ladera Heights, Lennox, View Park, West Athens, West Carson, West Compton, Willowbrook and Wiseburn. Prior to his election to the Board, Supervisor Ridley-Thomas served the 26th District in the California State Senate where he chaired the Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development and its two subcommittees on Professional Sports and Entertainment, and The Economy, Workforce Preparation and Development. In addition to his chairmanship duties, Ridley-Thomas served on the Senate Appropriations, Energy, Utilities and  Communications; and Health and Public Safety committees. In January 2008, he became Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus and led the Caucus in unprecedented levels of cooperation and collaboration with counterparts in the Latino, and Asian-Pacific Islander Legislative Caucuses. His legislative work addressed a broad range of issues with implications for economic and workforce development, health care, public safety, education, budget accountability, consumer protection and civic participation. Mark Ridley-Thomas was first elected to public office in 1991 and served with distinction on the Los Angeles City Council for nearly a dozen years and  departed as Council President pro Tempore. He later served two terms in the California State Assembly, where he chaired the Assembly Democratic Caucus. He is widely regarded as the foremost advocate of neighborhood participation in government decision-making. By virtue of his founding the Empowerment Congress, arguably the region’s most successful experiment in neighborhood-based civic engagement, he is considered the founder of the Neighborhood Council movement. Ridley-Thomas’ political career was preceded by a decade of service as executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles, which followed a brief but successful five-year stint as a high school teacher. He is a graduate of Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles and earned a baccalaureate degree in Social Relations (minor in Government) and a master’s degree in Religious Studies (concentration in Christian  Ethics) from Immaculate Heart College. Mr. Ridley-Thomas went on to receive his Ph.D. in Social Ethics and Policy Analysis from the University of Southern California. He is married to Avis Ridley-Thomas, director of the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office Dispute Resolution Center. They are the proud parents of twin sons, Sebastian and Sinclair, who graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta. Contact 866 Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration 500 W.
