Tune In to Talk Law Radio: Slam Dunk Your Vote on the Spurs Arena Future! Will Bexar County tip off a game-changing downtown revival—or pass on the play that keeps the Spurs in San Antonio for generations? Join host Todd Marquardt this week on Talk Law Radio as we break down the high-stakes Bexar County election showdown: Propositions A and B. These aren't just ballot measures—they're the key to unlocking Project Marvel, a $3-4 billion sports and entertainment district that could deliver a state-of-the-art Spurs arena, rodeo expansions, and economic fireworks downtown. But with critics calling foul on taxpayer risks and the mayor urging caution, is this a winning shot or a risky buzzer-beater? Todd dives deep into the venue tax hike (from 1.75% to 2% on hotels and rentals—paid by visitors, not locals), the $311 million arena fund, and what it means for our city's future. Don't sit on the bench—tune in and get courtside on the facts! "

As the saying goes, a good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge. Building credibility with the court in any case is vital. Veteran attorney and longtime judge Mark Drummond explains why and how you earn trust.  Trust and credibility are built brick by brick. It takes a lifetime to build your reputation, but breach that trust once, and the judge will never forget. And make no mistake, judges talk among themselves, so willful missteps will be known across the courthouse and for the rest of your career.  Understand the meaning of “candor to the tribunal.” When dealing with a judge, telling the truth is one thing. That can mean presenting the strengths of your case. But candor is what you also share with the judge beyond that, the thorns of the case. Judges who feel you weren't completely candid may never fully take you at your word again. They may forever wonder what you're withholding. If you've ever wondered what a judge is thinking about you, Judge Drummond lets you know and shares some of his favorite tips for building credibility and putting your best food forward from the moment you walk into the courtroom.  Resources:  Previous appearance on the Legal Talk Network, “NYU's Civil Jury Project (State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting 2024),” State Bar of Texas Podcast American Bar Association “Free Legal Answers”  Civil Jury Project, NYU School of Law  Susman Agreements: Clarity for the Rules of Civil Procedure  Access to Counsel Project, Federal Bar Counsel  “Dealing With Jerks,” by Judge Mark Drummond in ABA Litigation News  “Understanding the Pareto Principle (The 80/20 Rule),” Better Explained  American Bar Association American Bar Association Litigation Section

Welcome back to 'AI Lawyer Talking Tech.' Today, we explore the legal profession's dramatic shift from resisting artificial intelligence to embracing it as an essential partner. With data projecting that nearly 80% of firms will leverage Generative AI within five years, the fundamental choice facing legal practitioners is no longer if technology will transform practice, but how they will shape that change. This transformation is fueled by massive capital—seen in Harvey's successful funding for global expansion and Relativity's $170 million research commitment to enhance its AI ecosystem—all designed to power sophisticated tools for tasks ranging from document drafting and legal research to contract analysis.Competitor or collaborator?

Join Shannon Salmon-Haas and host Todd Marquardt as they address free speech and the passing of Charlie Kirk on part two of this bonus edition of Talk Law Radio. Be sure to check out part one if you missed it! In this episode of Talk Law Radio, the discussion centers around the controversial figure, Charlie Kirk, and the broader implications of free speech. The episode begins with an introduction to hidden legal blind spots that may arise in discussions about free speech.The conversation then delves into the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The episode also examines why some people consider Charlie Kirk's beliefs to be hateful, highlighting his most divisive issues, including gender ideology, abortion, illegal immigration, dismissing "white privilege," opposing systemic racism, the 2020 election fraud, and gun rights.The episode further explores the concept of hate and who defines it, posing thought-provoking questions such as what if someone said they hate men who marry women, or that they hate that sex and gender are assigned at birth, or that they hate free market economics.The discussion then shifts to the causes of polarization, referencing Carnegie Endowment Research from 2023. It explains how polarization divides people into sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs, and how polarized political candidates and parties promote more extreme candidates, especially in districts with safe seats. The episode also touches on emotionally polarized individuals, known as affective polarization.Solutions to reduce affective polarization are discussed, including creating a sense of shared identity and pluralistic work that coordinates groups to act on shared goals. The episode emphasizes the importance of bridging differences to build trust and advance a more just democracy.The correlation between polarization and violence is also examined, noting that people who commit political violence often have aggressive personalities and poor self-control. The role of social media in amplifying extreme views is highlighted, with a warning that enragement means engagement for social media purveyors.The episode concludes with a discussion on the law about speech, referencing key Supreme Court cases such as Schenck v United States, Brandenburg v Ohio, and Cohen v California. The legacy of these legal precedents is considered in the context of contemporary free speech debates.

As the dust settles from Charlie Kirk's assassination on September 10, 2025, a firestorm of firings and expulsions has erupted over social media posts expressing "joy" or criticism about his death. This segment probes whether these private and public employer actions violate First Amendment protections, unpacking the legal boundaries of speech in workplaces and campuses. Does the conservatives' push for "consequences" undermines the very free speech Kirk championed? In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the massive memorial service on September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, this segment dissects the event's fusion of evangelical fervor and Republican rallying cries. Drawing on legal, cultural, and theological lenses, the hosts explore how the service blurred sacred and secular boundaries, raising questions about the entanglement of Christianity and politics—and whether such mergers risk turning national devotion into a form of idolatry.

(I'm editing and finalizing this podcast in an airport. So please excuse any small glitches or errors today. I thought it important to get this podcast out asap.)Most people may have heard of Charlie Kirk in passing before he was assassinated on September 10, but if you are not “Gen Z” you likely didn't know much about him. I certainly didn't - until a few months ago when he hosted a debate at one of his Turning Point conferences. The discussion focused on whether America should support Israel and featured Josh Hammer - our STLV guest today - and Dave Smith, a “comedian” turned geopolitical expert. You can find the link to that podcast below, in the notes. It's worhh to watching.Josh had a long conversation with Charlie and a few others on the night before his murder. They discussed a range of issues relating to Israel, antisemitism and Jews. Charlie was preparing. He told Josh that 50% - FIFTY PERCENT - of the questions he dealt with these days were about - Jews. That is astonishing.Turning Point is an advocacy organization founded by Kirk which over the years has become one of the most influential political groups in America and, possibly, beyond. Not until his death did the extraordinary reach of this young man become apparent to - the masses. He had certainly made a name for himself among young Americans, touring relentlessly to speak and engage on critical issues: social, foreign, and economic policy. He angered many and affirmed others. He opened and probably closed minds. Charlie was tenacious, hardworking, sincere, and head strong. He was unwavering in his beliefs. All of them. Recently, he had also come under attack by more than the usual detractors. Very big names in the podcast world - with millions of followers - turned on Kirk. They accused him of being a stooge for Israel. Some said he was rethinking his support for Israel and Jewish people and more than suggest that this angered the “wrong people.” Blame the Jews. Since his brutal death they've doubled down. It's beyond ghoulish.I was shaken and shocked when I heard about Kirk's murder. A young man. Earnest. Engaged. A husband and father. Gunned down while speaking to a group of students, as his wife and children watched. That our society has become so hateful, so dumb, so violent, should make us all stop. Think. And then think again. No bad pun intended but Kirk's assassination may well mark a turning point for America and western civilization. This epic war being waged on the foundational values of western liberal democracy is real. Dangerous. And could well destroy our way of life if we do not wake up. That was Charlie's message as well. I share some - but not all - of his views. But that's irrelevant. This isn't about me.

Join Shannon Salmon-Haas and host Todd Marquardt as they address free speech and the passing of Charlie Kirk on this bonus edition of Talk Law Radio. Be sure to check out part two next weekend! In this episode of Talk Law Radio, the discussion centers around the controversial figure, Charlie Kirk, and the broader implications of free speech. The episode begins with an introduction to hidden legal blind spots that may arise in discussions about free speech.The conversation then delves into the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The episode also examines why some people consider Charlie Kirk's beliefs to be hateful, highlighting his most divisive issues, including gender ideology, abortion, illegal immigration, dismissing "white privilege," opposing systemic racism, the 2020 election fraud, and gun rights.The episode further explores the concept of hate and who defines it, posing thought-provoking questions such as what if someone said they hate men who marry women, or that they hate that sex and gender are assigned at birth, or that they hate free market economics.The discussion then shifts to the causes of polarization, referencing Carnegie Endowment Research from 2023. It explains how polarization divides people into sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs, and how polarized political candidates and parties promote more extreme candidates, especially in districts with safe seats. The episode also touches on emotionally polarized individuals, known as affective polarization.Solutions to reduce affective polarization are discussed, including creating a sense of shared identity and pluralistic work that coordinates groups to act on shared goals. The episode emphasizes the importance of bridging differences to build trust and advance a more just democracy.The correlation between polarization and violence is also examined, noting that people who commit political violence often have aggressive personalities and poor self-control. The role of social media in amplifying extreme views is highlighted, with a warning that enragement means engagement for social media purveyors.The episode concludes with a discussion on the law about speech, referencing key Supreme Court cases such as Schenck v United States, Brandenburg v Ohio, and Cohen v California. The legacy of these legal precedents is considered in the context of contemporary free speech debates.

Monica Gilroy is the Managing and Founding Member at The Gilroy Firm, a national real estate litigation and property management law firm. She has over 30 years of experience in real estate litigation, title insurance defense, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and fair housing matters. Monica is a Georgia Super Lawyer, a National Title Professional, and a frequent speaker at state and national industry conferences. She has also chaired the State Bar of Georgia's Real Property Law Section and serves on national committees for the American Land Title Association. In this episode… When federal agents arrive at a property manager's office with urgent requests, the pressure can feel overwhelming. Do you comply immediately, or do you pause to protect tenant rights and your company from liability? And how do you balance the seriousness of law enforcement with your legal responsibilities? According to Monica Gilroy, a nationally recognized real estate attorney and legal educator, property managers are not required to comply with ICE administrative subpoenas unless a judge signs off. She highlights that blindly handing over tenant files can create significant risks under fair housing laws and state privacy regulations. The effect is clear: acting too quickly can expose both companies and individuals to lawsuits, reputational damage, and financial loss. Monica explains that property managers must stay calm, ask whether a warrant is judicial, and always consult legal counsel before responding. She also stresses the importance of ongoing training so that every team member knows how to handle these high-stakes scenarios. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Yoni Schmidt sits down with Monica Gilroy, Managing and Founding Member at The Gilroy Firm, to discuss how property managers should handle ICE requests while protecting tenant privacy. They explore the risks of complying with administrative subpoenas, strategies for training teams on fair housing compliance, and why strong contracts and documents shield managers from liability.

Are new sports arenas and stadiums really a win for taxpayers? On this episode of Talk Law Radio, Attorney Todd Marquardt and co-host Shannon Roberta Salmon Haas sit down with Dr. Andrew Zimbalist, a renowned sports economist and professor at Smith College, to uncover the hidden truths behind stadium financing. Dr. Zimbalist, author of Sports, Jobs, and Taxes, breaks down how municipalities use bonds and taxes to fund stadiums, why mixed-use developments rarely deliver promised benefits, and the tough trade-offs cities face when choosing between economic growth and community pride. From the debate over a potential new San Antonio Spurs stadium to national case studies, the conversation explores: How stadiums are financed through municipal bonds and taxes Why projected economic growth often falls short The role of public-private partnerships in stadium projects Political motivations, community identity, and taxpayer risks Lessons from past stadium deals in Houston, Atlanta, San Francisco, and beyond #sports #Spurs #SanAntonio #Texas #basketball #arena #stadium #finance The mission of Talk Law Radio is to help you discover your legal issue blind spots by listening to me talk about the law on the radio.

Disclaimer to all listeners, new and old, that goes for Andrew Gould and his law firm staff, the things we say on this podcast are funny and not to be taken seriously. Although, make no mistake about it, Brandon Rafi is genuinely getting whooped in these litigation proceedings. We can't make that up. :)In this episode we recount 2025 where Raees has done nothing on this case except try to make Gil look bad for optic purposes in front of the State Bar and Judges. We also recount the three hits this week which include a new court conference with the Judge where he will have to agree to deadlines and relevant discovery disclosures. We also meet Andrew Gould and his list of attorneys that will be taking over the Federal RICO case against Gil and Jezuz. We ask Brandon why his employees are being forced to sign NDA's if they trust him and he trusts them. We also go back through the three allegations Brandon Rafi makes against Gil Negrete in the State Case where he's brought ZERO evidence into the case to back up his allegations. Andy Halibi, what's going on at RLGANG?!?!?We end the podcast with a cliffhanger. The next one will be a banger.

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt delves into the recent changes brought about by Senate Bill 29, which became effective on May 14, 2025. This bill includes the codification of the business judgment rule into the Texas Business Organizations Code, a significant development for business owners and directors. The business judgment rule, which has been relied upon since 1878, protects directors from liability for honest, discretionary decisions made in the corporation's interest, even if those decisions are negligent or imprudent, as long as there is no fraud, bad faith, or gross negligence involved. Previously, this rule was only applied defensively after a business was sued, but now it is explicitly written into the Texas law. The new codification presumes that directors and officers act in good faith, on an informed basis, in furtherance of the corporation's interests, and in obedience to the law and the corporation's governing documents. This presumption can only be rebutted if it is proven that the director's or officer's actions involved fraud, intentional misconduct, an ultra vires act, or a knowing violation of the law.Senate Bill 29 aims to provide statutory clarity and certainty for business decision-makers, encouraging more companies to operate in Texas and boosting economic development and job creation. Governor Abbott and Senator Bryan Hughes have both expressed their support for the bill, highlighting its potential to attract businesses and provide a stable legal environment for corporate governance. Business owners are advised to review their certification of formation, operating agreements, bylaws, and minutes with a qualified attorney to ensure compliance with the new law and to identify any necessary changes or amendments.
