In this episode of the Great Trials Podcast, hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey discuss the case of Ramirez v. Avalon Mobile Home Park with guests Tony DelCampo, Randy Grayson, and Dax Lopez from DGL Attorneys At Law. Remember to rate and review GTP on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite platform. --- Case Details: "After a one-week trial, a jury returned a verdict of $31 million for the wrongful death of Israel Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez was living with his sister and brother-in-law at Avalon Mobile Home Park. Avalon had experienced multiple crimes in the years before Israel's death. While home from work for lunch, Israel and his sister saw a thief stealing his car from his home. Israel reacted quickly and confronted the thief, who shot and killed him. Avalon failed to have reasonable security in place to protect its residents from foreseeable crimes. At trial, Avalon tried to blame Israel for his own death, claiming he should not have reacted to the theft of his vehicle. The defense claimed Israel acted unreasonably for defending his property. Our firm introduced evidence that the husband of Avalon's property manager had left his own home to confront trespassers with a loaded gun on a previous occasion, contrasting the defense's blaming Israel while celebrating a different resident who survived a similar encounter. After hearing from Israel's family members, including his children, the jury determined the value of his lost life, pain and suffering and awarded $31 million against Avalon Mobile Home Park."

Big Law Firms — who once saw Trump and his illegal conduct as radioactive— are getting back in business with Trump, and have filed a new brief for him to the top NY Federal Court, arguing that his 34 count felony conviction should be appealed in Federal not State Court, primarily to get him a faster track to the Supreme Court. Michael Popok, on the heels of Chief Justice Roberts effectively “fist bumping” Trump during his Joint Session of Congress speech, details how this appeal should go and what the Supremes may do next.

Most would agree that all of these [tribalism, polarization, racism, religious enmity, and antisemitism] are bad for society. They are perhaps a particular threat in a democracy like ours, which is predicated on the idea that people of very different backgrounds and ideas can coexist peacefully. Following decades of improvement in all these areas, they seem to be resurgent in the United States. What role have the law, the courts, and the culture played in contributing to this state of affairs? How can law best be deployed to combat it and what is the role of civil society vs. law?Featuring:Mr. Jay Edelson, Founder & CEO, Edelson PCProf. Michael W. McConnell, Richard and Frances Mallery Professor of Law, Director of the Constitutional Law Center, Stanford Law SchoolProf. David M. Schizer, Harvey R.

It has been almost ten years since the advent of the ‘progressive prosecutor,’ local elected district attorneys and attorneys general throughout the country who ran on and then implemented a revolutionary new model of public prosecution. If states are the “laboratories of democracy” then there plainly has been a series of bold experiments testing the efficacy of this new model of law enforcement. Was it a success, or a failure? Has public safety and order been promoted, or jeopardized? Or is it all simply too soon to tell? Please join us as we present a panel of distinguished current and former elected officials, academics, and other experts in the field as they discuss all facets of these important questions of law, order, and the public interest.Featuring:Hon.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Enbridge Energy's request for the Line 5 lawsuit Nessel v. Enbridge to receive a rehearing in federal court, returning the case to state court. The court Enbridge had missed the 30-day deadline after Nessel filed the lawsuit in June 2019 to appeal moving the case to federal court, and that it relied on improper arguments when doing so. The Canadian company had proposed boring a tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac to house the pipeline more than five years ago. Nessel's case seeks to void a 1953 exception to environmental rules which allowed that section of the pipeline to operate, arguing the environmental risks posed by the pipeline are too great.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_ffa2e8fa-5e39-11ef-ad84-b3ce178284da.html

Where can the country look when federal courts begin to falter? We've been here before, explains MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi. It is no surprise that state courts held Donald Trump accountable and preserved rights that SCOTUS stripped away.

As part of our “Doing Democracy” series, we look at state courts and constitutions. Each state has its own constitution, and they generally offer more rights than the U.S. Constitution. For example, the California constitution guarantees the right to happiness, reproductive freedom, and the ability to fish on public land, among other enumerated rights. With a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, activists are increasingly looking at states to protect – and even expand – rights. But will this strategy work? We'll talk to legal experts about how state courts and constitutions are increasingly becoming battle grounds for preserving or expanding civil rights, and what the impact in California and neighboring states might be.

June 18th Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode Civil filings are falling.  They have been for some time.  In fact, most court filings have been on a slow decline.  In 2018, The National Center for State Courts put out a bulletin stating that nationally every major case category had declined from 2008 to 2016. There are indications that in some states (California for example), the decline in civil filings started as far back as 1980.  This gradual decline seems little affected by economics, court organization, the presence or absence of court self-help centers, the state of the local bar, the type of case management system the court uses, or the amount of filing fees charged.  With the possible exception of Texas, this decline appears widespread.  This inevitably leads to the critical yet unanswered question “Why is this happening?” This month we're talking about a new book just out by Alan Carlson and John Greacen called What is Happening to State Trial Court Civil Filings?  We will explore questions including: · Why didn't we court professionals see this coming a long time ago? · Are there changes in our society that are leading to changes in how people view the courts? · Do we have any idea how people are getting their disputes resolved if it is not by going through the courts? · Are courts actually ready to do the work to find out what is happening with filings?   Today's Panel  Alan Carlson: retired court administrator of the Superior Court in Orange County, California; John Greacen: nationally known consultant on courts and court administration; Marcus Reinkensmeyer: Deputy State Court Administrator for the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts.

They'll explain the roots of the challenge, how unauthorized practice of law rules contribute to the problem, and how to address them. The Engstroms co-direct Stanford Law School's Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession, an academic center working to shape the future of legal services and access to the legal system. This episode delves into some alarming statistics, including the fact that in three-quarters of civil cases in state courts, at least one party is without a lawyer. This alone often leads to unjust outcomes in cases involving debt collection, evictions, family law, and other areas. And that is just part of the problem, as the Engstroms explain.   Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford  Law Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Nora Freeman Engstrom >>> Stanford Law School PageDavid Freeman Engstrom >>> Stanford Law School PageChapter 1: The Access to Justice Crisis in the U.S.(00:00:00) Pam Karlan introduces the episode, discussing the work of David and Nora Freeman Engstrom at Stanford Law School's Deborah Rhode Center on the Legal Profession. This section provides an overview of the access to justice crisis, highlighting the high percentage of cases where individuals lack legal representation and a look at the types of cases predominantly at issue, including debt collection, evictions, mortgage foreclosures, and family law cases.Chapter 2: Understanding the Consequences and Causes of Legal Inaccessibility(00:7:06)  David and Nora Freeman Engstrom explore the broader implications of the lack of legal representation, including the cascade of related legal and financial issues that arise from initial problems like wage garnishment and eviction. They also touch on the hidden legal issues that never make it to court due to individuals' inability to seek legal help.Chapter 3: Exploring Solutions and Technological Impacts on Access to Justice(00:10:07) David and Nora Freeman Engstrom  delve into potential solutions to the access to justice crisis, including the role of technology in both exacerbating and potentially alleviating the problem. They discuss the efficiency of technological tools used by the debt collection industry and the implications for legal access.Chapter 4: The Technology Asymmetry in Debt Collection(00:14:19 )  Pam Karlan and David Freeman Engstrom discuss how debt collectors use automation to exploit legal processes against unrepresented individuals. They highlight the stark disparity between technological access for debt collectors and individual defendants. Engstrom points out the restrictive rules that limit software-driven legal services, exacerbating the access to justice crisis.Chapter 5: The Historical Context and Current Restrictions on Legal Services(00:15:55)  Nora Freeman Engstrom delves into the history of legal service restrictions in the U.S., contrasting it with medical professions. She introduces her research on auto clubs and their provision of legal services in the early 20th century, showing how organized bar associations shut down these alternatives to preserve their monopoly.Chapter 6: Modern Innovations and Future Prospects in Legal Services(00:24:13)  The host and guests discuss recent efforts to relax unauthorized practice of law rules in states like Utah and Arizona. They explore innovative legal service models emerging from these reforms, including tiered services and AI-driven solutions, and their potential to democratize access to legal assistance. The discussion highlights how entities like LegalZoom are now able to hire lawyers and provide more comprehensive services. They also touch on the potential of generative AI to bridge the gap between legal jargon and plain language, making legal assistance more accessible to the public. The chapter concludes with reflections on the promise and challenges of these technological advancements.

Today on the podcast, Robin and Lester interview Judge Alvin Wong, Georgia's first Asian American judge.   Guest Bio Judge Wong came to Richmond, Va. from Hong Kong when he was 14. His father enrolled him at Fishburne Military Academy in Waynesboro, Va., shook his hand and said he'd “see him next summer.” He followed a classmate from Fishburne to Auburn University without even knowing where it was. He graduated early and moved to Atlanta. He started taking night classes at John Marshal Law School and passed the Georgia Bar in 1976. He hung out a shingle and worked as a trial lawyer and then was a partner at Gambrell & Stolz (now Baker Donelson) for 20 years. Judge Wong was elected to the State Court of DeKalb County in 1999 and since his election in 1999, he's been reelected, unopposed, to six consecutive terms. With his election in 1999, he became the first Asian American judge in Georgia history. At that time, Asians made up less than two percent of registered voters in DeKalb County. In 2004, Judge Wong co-founded a DUI court to help people, calling it one of the most rewarding things he's done. He also sits on the board of the Lifeline Animal Project, a nonprofit that helps turn Atlanta animal shelters into no-kill shelters. He also brings to the courthouse Coco, a dachshund-chihuahua mix he rescued a decade ago. Jurors love to meet her after the trial is over. Judge Wong was elected by his peers in 2021 as president of the Georgia Council of State Court Judges, overseeing the entire state. His election marked the first time an Asian American served as president of any judicial council in Georgia. In 1993, Judge Wong and Professor Natsu Saito of Georgia State University Law School combed the State Bar Directory to find 10 attorneys to start an Asian American Bar Association. Today, the Georgia Asian Pacific Bar Association (GAPABA) has 750 members. In 2014, GAPABA named its top prize the “Judge Alvin T. Wong Pioneer Award”. It is given in his honor to a lawyer who demonstrates leadership to pave the way for the advancement of APA attorneys. He is the recipient of the 2017 Traditions of Excellence Award presented by the General Practice and Trial Section of the State Bar of Georgia. He received the 2022 Randolph Thrower Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Committee to Promote Inclusion in the Profession of the State Bar of Georgia. Judge Wong serves the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility – Judges Advisory Committee and as a Fernbank Museum of Natural History trustee and NAPABA (the National Asian Bar) Law Foundation board member, mentoring future leaders as co-director of its Thomas Tang National Moot Court Competition.

Robert (Robbie) Brower was angry at the world- and number one on his long list of people he had a beef with, was his former attorney Mike Hostilo. Robbie was convinced Mr. Hostilo's legal advice ruined his life after he was sentenced for 5 years for assaulting another man with a hammer.  Once released Robbie was determined to seek his own justice by holding Mr. Hostilo hostage with the help of his wife Connie until he was promised  a new trial and a free and clear record.

Last week, Colorado's Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump will be disqualified from the 2024 primary ballot, arguing that his involvement on January 6th conflicted with the 14th Amendment's “insurrectionist ban.” Michigan's Supreme Court heard a similar case and ruled that Trump would remain on the ballot. Colorado's Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, says that the former president's name will appear on the ballot unless a move by the U.S. Supreme Court gives the state of Colorado the authority. Professor of Law at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, joins to break down what the decision in Colorado means for the election and whether or not the states have the legal right to decide who will appear on the ballot. Alice Marie Johnson spent 21 years in prison after she was sentenced to life without parole in 1997 for cocaine trafficking in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2018, after some public advocacy on her behalf from celebrity Kim Kardashian, President Trump granted Alice clemency and had her released. Today we revisit our interview with Alice Marie Johnson, where she discussed her past, her time in prison, and how she is using her freedom to help advocate for criminal justice reform to aid other folks just like her. She discussed what she believes is the right path toward reform and how she's giving back after "getting a second chance at life." Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers.

When you get to the part of the ballot that asks you to vote for a local judge, have you ever thought, “am I qualified to make this decision?” While federal court trial and appellate judges are appointed and enjoy lifetime tenures, state court judges often have to run for election or re-election, and most voters have scant information on the candidates. In California, you can run to be a judge if you have been a lawyer for ten years, no trial experience necessary. And while we expect judges to be neutral, can they be when they have to run for office and take campaign donations? In our next installment of our “Doing Democracy” series, we look at what it means when judges have to stand for election. Guests: Michael S Kang, professor, Northwestern School of Law. Kang is the co-author of "Free to Judge: The Power of Campaign Money in Judicial Elections." He served on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States Judge LaDoris Hazzard Cordell, retired judge, Superior Court of California. She is the author of "Her Honor: My Life on the Bench...What Works, What's Broken and How to Change It" Teresa Johnson, incoming president, Bar Association of San Francisco. Johnson is a partner at the law firm Arnold & Porter

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 161 features Nicole Clark, Co-founder, CEO at Trellis, located in Los Angeles, California.  Nicole shares his lawyer story with us and how the idea for Trellis was born late one night as Nicole was trying to write a complicated motion for summary judgment. She didn't know much about the judge assigned to the case, which left her unsure about how to structure the document. A colleague let her browse through his old case files, where she stumbled upon a past ruling by her judge, on her issue, on her motion. It felt like finally having a detailed study guide to a final exam. She won her motion for summary judgment and everything changed. Nicole knew there was a massive opportunity and never looked back.

Co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland consider whether more prison time will be seen as a “tar and feathering” for Alex Murdaugh co-conspirator Cory Fleming and what juicy new information might come out of a trial.
