On this day in legal history the first televised trial in New York hit the airwaves, paving the way to what would become Court TV and all the other reality-TV-meets-judicial-system abominations currently on air. On October 25, 1988, New York witnessed its first-ever televised murder trial, involving Joel Steinberg and Hedda Nussbaum. The couple lived in a tumultuous relationship marked by drug abuse and violence, in a squalid Greenwich Village apartment. Steinberg, a criminal lawyer, used legal loopholes to informally "adopt" two children without proper paperwork, setting the stage for a tragedy that would captivate the nation. The public was shocked when paramedics discovered their six-year-old adopted daughter, Lisa, emaciated and bruised, eventually dying from abuse-induced brain hemorrhage.Steinberg and Nussbaum were initially charged with attempted murder, which turned into a murder charge after Lisa's life-support was removed. The prosecution relied heavily on Nussbaum's testimony, offering her a plea deal to drop all charges against her in exchange for her cooperation. Judge Harold Rothwax, known for his unflappable demeanor, presided over this emotionally charged trial that scrutinized not just the couple's actions but also their toxic relationship.Assistant District Attorney Peter Casolaro aimed to dissect this relationship to convince the jury of Steinberg's guilt. Expert witnesses and medical evidence pointed towards Steinberg as the perpetrator of the fatal blows that caused Lisa's brain hemorrhage. Nussbaum's testimony portrayed her as another victim of Steinberg's abuse, although the defense tried to paint her as a complicit actor rather than just a victim.The trial concluded with Steinberg being convicted of first-degree manslaughter, receiving a prison term of 8½ to 25 years. The case had a long-lasting impact, leading to the passage of New York's "Lisa Law" in 1988 to address loopholes in private adoption laws. This landmark case not only showcased the dark underbelly of abuse behind closed doors but also shattered the myth that child abuse is confined to any particular socio-economic status.Former U.S. President Donald Trump and his one-time lawyer, Michael Cohen, faced each other in a Manhattan courtroom for a civil fraud trial concerning the Trump Organization's real estate business practices. Cohen, who severed ties with Trump five years prior, testified that Trump inflated the value of his real estate assets to secure more favorable insurance premiums. His testimony could support New York Attorney General Letitia James' case alleging that Trump and several executives inflated property values, potentially leading to the dissolution of Trump's business empire.Trump, a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He and his legal team have labeled the case as a "political witch hunt" and have referred to Cohen as a "liar," aiming to undermine his credibility during cross-examination. Trump's lawyers specifically brought up Cohen's 2018 guilty plea for campaign finance violations and lying to Congress about Trump's business activities in Russia, attempting to portray him as an unreliable witness.Justice Arthur Engoron had previously ruled before the trial started that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth and ordered the dissolution of key companies within his real estate portfolio. However, this ruling is currently on hold pending an appeal by Trump. The focus of the trial is largely on damages, with Attorney General James seeking at least $250 million in fines and various bans against Trump and his sons from doing business in New York. Last week, Engoron fined Trump $5,000 for violating a gag order related to the case.Donald Trump, Michael Cohen to face off again at New York fraud trial | ReutersJohn Eastman, a conservative law professor and one of Donald Trump's post-election attorneys, is defending himself against disciplinary charges brought by the California State Bar that could result in the loss of his law license. Eastman argues that the charges are based on inaccurate allegations. Specifically, he refutes the claim that Vice President Mike Pence "publicly rejected" his memos advising on how Pence could act if two sets of presidential electors were presented to Congress on January 6, 2021.According to Eastman, the State Bar misinterprets Pence's 'Dear Colleague' letter and wrongly associates its content with his advice. Eastman also challenges the Bar's claim that he was "grossly negligent" for not knowing that historical records did not support his argument that the vice president could delay the counting of electoral votes. He argues that the drafters of the Constitution explicitly excluded Congress from any decision-making role in presidential elections, leaving the role of the vice president in this context open to interpretation.Eastman is facing 11 counts related to violating ethics rules, state law, and charges of moral turpitude. These counts are connected to memos he sent to Trump campaign officials, his media appearances, and statements made ahead of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Separately, Eastman also faces charges in Fulton County, Georgia, for plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, to which he has pleaded not guilty.In his defense, Eastman claims he is being penalized for representing unpopular viewpoints and maintains that election irregularities cost Trump the presidency. The State Bar has completed its case against him, and the hearing will resume on October 30 for further examination and cross-examination. Closing arguments are scheduled for November 3, and post-trial briefs are due by November 22.The final decision on Eastman's law license will ultimately be made by the California Supreme Court. A federal judge in California had previously stated that it was "more likely than not" that Eastman and Trump had engaged in criminal conduct, and Eastman has also been referred to the Department of Justice by the January 6 congressional committee.Eastman Disputes Facts Underpinning Charges in State Bar TrialA bipartisan coalition of 18 state attorneys general, led by Connecticut, is supporting two minor league baseball teams in their challenge against Major League Baseball's (MLB) long-standing antitrust exemption. The Tri-City ValleyCats in New York and the Connecticut-based Norwich Sea Unicorns filed the case, arguing that MLB's 2020 decision to reduce the number of minor league teams that can affiliate with major league clubs was anticompetitive. This move led to the elimination of dozens of minor league teams and capped the number of affiliations at four per major league club.Historically, a series of rulings since 1922 have exempted baseball from federal antitrust laws, claiming the sport involved "purely state affairs." The state attorneys general, however, contend that this premise was factually incorrect even in 1922, as baseball was already a national business at that time. Their legal brief argues that states have "regularly enforced their antitrust laws against corporations and cartels whose business crosses state lines," and thus, MLB should not enjoy such an exemption.The New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of the lawsuit earlier, citing MLB's antitrust exemption. Lawyers for MLB have previously called the antitrust claims "patently frivolous," stating that the lawsuit aims to "impose liability on MLB for not renewing plaintiffs' contracts."The state coalition's filing is among several amicus briefs submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, including support from the professional baseball players union. MLB has yet to file a response to the petition asking the Supreme Court to hear the case.Bipartisan state coalition backs challenge to MLB's antitrust immunity | ReutersBaseball's Antitrust Exemption: A Brief PrimerA pending National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) case is set to determine if NCAA student athletes should be classified as employees under federal labor law. The case focuses on football and basketball players from the University of Southern California and the Pac-12 Conference and questions whether they were wrongly classified as "non-employee student-athletes." Legal experts warn that recognizing student athletes as employees would open a "Pandora's box" of legal complications, particularly for smaller colleges that may struggle with the financial implications.The move to classify student athletes as employees is part of a broader effort by labor advocates. It comes after a 2021 US Supreme Court ruling that the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws by preventing athletes from profiting from their name, image, and likeness. If athletes are classified as employees, they would likely seek to unionize, adding further complexities as to who must bargain with them.The issue also has implications for Title IX, as it could raise questions about equal educational opportunities if male athletes start getting paid as employees. The case could redefine the bargaining units as well, potentially designating entire athletic conferences as employers. Financially smaller schools may find it difficult to compete if they have to start paying athletes, possibly leading to greater consolidation in college sports. The NLRB's decision in this case could fundamentally change the landscape of college sports and has wider implications for labor laws and educational policies.NCAA Student Athletes as Employees Case to Open ‘Pandora's Box'In my column this week, I argue that tax law is often seen as inaccessible or daunting, a perception that is largely due to how and when most people first encounter the subject. I teach an introductory course on tax theory and policy at Drexel Kline School of Law that aims to dismantle these misconceptions. The course focuses on real-world implications of tax policies and is structured to introduce foundational policy and theoretical knowledge first, followed by classes that tackle specific issues such as tax filing and wealth inequality.Drexel Kline is unique because it offers an undergraduate degree in law, providing an entry point for talent in the legal profession right out of high school. This contrasts with traditional paths that require a four-year degree and the LSAT for entry. The approach aims to break down the barriers that make fields like tax law appear unapproachable or reserved for those with specialized backgrounds.Early exposure to tax law can significantly impact students' career trajectories. An undergraduate course demystifies the field, giving students a clearer understanding of what a career in tax could offer. This can diversify the talent pool in the tax profession or, at the very least, create a more tax-savvy public.The tax profession is currently experiencing a brain drain, which poses a long-term sustainability problem for both the legal and tax fields. Courses like the one I teach at Drexel can serve as blueprints for making education in these areas more inclusive. By lowering entry barriers and challenging preconceived notions held by gatekeepers in the field, we can create a more robust, diverse, and dynamic applicant pool.I conclude that educational institutions and professional bodies need to proactively adopt early-intervention programs like Drexel's to ensure a more equitable and informed future in the fields of law and taxation.Introduce Tax to Students Early to Boost Tax Talent Pipeline Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On this day in legal history, October 19, 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York City, adopting resolutions that played a crucial role in shaping American constitutional theory and paving the way for the American Revolution. The Congress, comprised of delegates from nine American colonies, was formed as a united response to the Stamp Act of 1765. The act had imposed "internal" taxes on a wide range of legal and commercial documents, as well as other printed materials. Ostensibly, the tax aimed to cover the expenses for British troops stationed in the American colonies following the French and Indian War. However, the colonists argued that not only had they already paid their share of war expenses, but the tax also seemed more like a form of British patronage for surplus military officers.The Stamp Act ignited widespread animosity among the colonists, who saw it as a violation of their rights as Englishmen. The overarching sentiment was encapsulated in the slogan "No taxation without representation," asserting that only the colonial legislatures could grant consent to taxation. The Stamp Act Congress was the first significant joint colonial action in response to British measures, and its resolutions petitioned both Parliament and the King.Debate over representation also flared up in the British Parliament. One argument claimed that the American colonists were "virtually represented" just like the majority of Britons who didn't own property and couldn't vote. However, this notion was sharply refuted by Daniel Dulany, a Maryland attorney, who contended that the connection between Americans and English electors was too weak to constitute proper representation.Local protest groups, often led by the Sons of Liberty, established Committees of Correspondence, thereby creating a loose coalition that extended from New England to Maryland. Widespread demonstrations, sometimes involving the hanging of effigies, successfully pressured all stamp tax distributors into resigning, rendering the tax uncollectible.While opposition to the Stamp Act was strong in the colonies, it also faced significant resistance in Britain. British merchants, suffering due to American boycotts, lobbied for its repeal, which occurred on March 18, 1766. Although repealed, the British Parliament simultaneously passed the Declaratory Act, reasserting its right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever." This continued a chain of events that further strained the colonial relationship with Britain, contributing to the 27 grievances stated in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and eventually leading to the American Revolution in 1775.Today, the resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress remain an enduring testament to the early American commitment to principles of self-governance and constitutional integrity, serving as a prelude to the foundational documents that would follow.The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, supporting an effort to end Major League Baseball's (MLB) antitrust exemption. This move comes in support of a petition from minor league teams, including the Tri-City ValleyCats of upstate New York, who were removed from the minor leagues by MLB. The MLBPA is advocating for the Supreme Court to overturn its previous rulings that have maintained the exemption. The exemption itself dates back to a 1922 Supreme Court decision, which held that baseball did not fall under the 1890 Sherman Act and was therefore exempt from antitrust laws. In its brief, the MLBPA argues that the exemption negatively affects not only players but also fans, cities, states, and other businesses. The union has consistently maintained that the exemption should be eliminated. I have written on this topic somewhat extensively, and a link to my Baseball Prospectus primer on the issue follows. Baseball Players Union Supports End to MLB Antitrust ExemptionBaseball's Antitrust Exemption: A Brief PrimerThe White House is reviewing a State Department rule aimed at establishing a domestic visa renewal pilot program for certain H-1B specialty occupation workers. Currently, these workers are required to travel abroad to renew their visas, leading to delays and challenges, particularly due to pandemic-related bottlenecks at consular offices. The rule has been sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review, which is the final step before new regulations are made public. Domestic visa renewals were halted nearly two decades ago because the State Department said it couldn't meet post-9/11 biometric data collection requirements. Immigration lawyers and employer groups have been advocating for the reinstatement of domestic renewals, citing the prolonged wait times and logistical issues that have affected workers and employers alike.Stateside H-1B Visa Renewal Pilot Rule Under White House ReviewU.S. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones, known for overseeing more major Chapter 11 cases than any other U.S. judge, has abruptly resigned, leading to the reassignment of about 3,500 bankruptcy cases. Jones' resignation comes days after a federal appeals court initiated an ethics investigation into his failure to disclose a long-term romantic relationship with an attorney whose firm had numerous cases before his court. His departure is a significant blow to the Houston bankruptcy court, which is a top venue for large Chapter 11 filings in the U.S. Jones had managed high-profile bankruptcies like JC Penney and Nieman Marcus and had overseen 17% of cases with more than $1 billion in liabilities since 2020.Judges Marvin Isgur and Christopher Lopez, who are among the busiest bankruptcy judges in the U.S., will divide Jones' large-company case load between them. They will also handle all new large Chapter 11 cases filed in Houston. The reassignment is considered a massive workload for already busy judges and could create chaos, especially since Jones had more than 1,100 commercial cases on his docket.Jones' undisclosed relationship could also raise concerns in cases where rulings were made but not decided or where participants might object to past decisions. The relationship was with bankruptcy attorney Elizabeth Freeman, a partner at a law firm that had many debtors in Jones' court. The firm, Jackson Walker, has said it consulted with outside ethics experts and instructed Freeman not to work on any cases before Jones.The situation has also prompted scrutiny of Houston's practice of directing all "complex" Chapter 11 cases to just two judges, a practice some say invites "forum shopping" and undermines public confidence in the U.S. bankruptcy system. However, Chief U.S. Judge Randy Crane defended the practice, saying it allows for the efficient handling of difficult cases. Isgur, described as a "very bright individual" by Crane, is expected to be a good replacement for Jones, and Crane anticipates no long-term effects on the venue's popularity for large bankruptcies. Editorial note here, if you're talking about a venue's “popularity” for bankruptcies, the forum shopping ship has already sailed. Bankruptcy judge's sudden resignation causes 3,500 cases to be reassigned | ReutersJohn Eastman, an attorney associated with former President Donald Trump, testified in a California State Bar Court trial concerning his efforts to convince Vice President Mike Pence to reject or delay the counting of electoral votes. Eastman is facing the possibility of disbarment, charged with 11 counts including violating ethics rules and state law. He stated that had he known Pence had already decided not to follow his advice, he would not have pursued meetings and discussions on the issue. Gregory F. Jacob, Pence's counsel, previously testified that Eastman's theories lacked legal or historical basis.Eastman claimed he wasn't aware that Pence had already rejected his arguments until Jacob's testimony. Defense witnesses in the trial have tried to establish that Eastman believed there were election irregularities that could have affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential race, a claim that has been widely discredited. Eastman continues to dispute Jacob's characterization of their discussions, and insists that he was offering constitutional recommendations.Eastman, along with some scholars, argues that the Electoral Count Act is unconstitutional and that the Vice President, as the president of the Senate, should have an active role in counting electoral votes. No court has yet ruled on the constitutionality of the Electoral Count Act. The judge, Yvette Roland, has 90 days to issue a recommendation after the close of oral arguments, which can be appealed. The final decision on Eastman's discipline, including potential disbarment, will be made by the California Supreme Court. The trial is set to continue at least through October 20, with additional trial dates likely.Eastman Explains Why He Pressed Pence on Electoral Vote Counting Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
