This Day in Legal History: Lend-Lease ActOn October 30, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved an unprecedented $1 billion in aid to support Allied forces fighting in World War II, marking a critical milestone under the Lend-Lease Act. This act, passed earlier in March 1941, allowed the United States to provide essential military supplies to countries whose defense was deemed vital to U.S. interests, even as the U.S. maintained a stance of non-engagement. By authorizing such substantial aid, Roosevelt helped secure critical resources for Allies, particularly the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, who were facing significant challenges against Axis powers. The agreement transformed the U.S. from a neutral party to an "arsenal of democracy," emphasizing its commitment to the Allies while avoiding direct involvement in combat. Lend-Lease assistance encompassed a range of support, from food and raw materials to airplanes, ships, and ammunition. This aid was instrumental in sustaining Allied resistance, as it enabled countries like Britain to continue fighting even as they faced severe shortages. The success of the Lend-Lease program also laid the groundwork for formal alliances and collaborative military strategies between the U.S. and the Allied nations. While the U.S. would formally enter the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the Lend-Lease Act solidified its role as a major force in the global conflict.The Lend-Lease Act ultimately expanded beyond initial estimates, with over $50 billion in supplies and support sent to Allied nations by the war's end, demonstrating the scale of U.S. support. This historic decision on October 30 marked the beginning of the U.S.'s active yet indirect involvement in World War II, shaping not only the course of the war but also the post-war geopolitical landscape, where the U.S. emerged as a primary superpower.Nishad Singh, former FTX engineering director, will be sentenced Wednesday for his role in the collapse of FTX, where his former boss, Sam Bankman-Fried, misappropriated $8 billion in customer funds. Singh previously pled guilty to six felony counts, cooperating with prosecutors as a witness in Bankman-Fried's fraud trial, where Bankman-Fried received a 25-year sentence. Singh admitted to involvement in FTX's fraud and participation as a “straw donor” in political donations made by Bankman-Fried. Prosecutors have recommended leniency for Singh, who they say joined the conspiracy late and provided significant assistance, while his lawyers seek no prison time. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who sentenced another FTX executive, Caroline Ellison, to two years for her role, will make the final decision. Singh testified he confronted Bankman-Fried about FTX's financial shortfall in September 2022, though Bankman-Fried assured him they could cover the losses.Bankman-Fried's ex-deputy Singh to be sentenced over crypto fraud | ReutersThe University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, has reported a 64% surge in applicants this year, attributed partly to Vice President Kamala Harris, an alumna currently running for president. The school, formerly known as UC Hastings College of the Law, has received 633 applications, a significant increase from last year's 385, and almost double the 33% rise in the national law school applicant pool. Dean David Faigman noted that many applicants are inspired by Harris's legal career, which she highlights in her campaign. As a public institution, the law school cannot endorse political candidates, but it prominently features Harris on its website with content about her time there. This trend mirrors a 33% increase in applications the school experienced in 2020 after Harris joined Joe Biden's presidential ticket. Legal experts suggest that both Harris's candidacy and the early application process this year have contributed to the heightened interest in law school.Kamala Harris' law school reports an applicant surge as election nears | ReutersThe FDA faces scrutiny over its process for declaring drug shortages after reversing its decision on the availability of Eli Lilly's popular weight-loss drug, tirzepatide. Due to high demand for such weight-loss treatments, compounding pharmacies have produced lower-cost versions of the drug, marketed by Lilly under Mounjaro and Zepbound, while it was in short supply. The FDA's decision to declare the tirzepatide shortage resolved, after confirming increased supply with Lilly, prompted a lawsuit from the Outsourcing Facilities Association and a compounding pharmacy, FarmaKeio, arguing the FDA's decision lacked transparency and public input. The plaintiffs claim the FDA's methods are unclear, especially since the law allows compounded versions of a drug only when a shortage is officially recognized. Attorneys argue that without clear guidelines on when shortages end, compounded alternatives may become less accessible, affecting patients who rely on affordable options. This case also comes amid broader judicial scrutiny of federal agency authority, as recent court rulings challenge long-standing deference to agency discretion. To avoid further legal conflicts, the FDA requested to reassess its shortage determination process, allowing for public input and additional data on tirzepatide availability.Demand for Obesity Drug Copycats Pressures FDA's Shortage ReviewNew York City has officially decriminalized jaywalking, allowing pedestrians to cross streets outside of crosswalks and against traffic signals without risk of a fine, which previously could reach up to $300. Historically, jaywalking laws were used disproportionately against Black and Latino residents, a key factor motivating the City Council's recent decision. Proponents argue that the new law will reduce unnecessary policing of a practice most New Yorkers see as routine, with some considering jaywalking integral to the city's culture. However, the change comes amid rising pedestrian fatalities; nearly 200 jaywalking-related deaths have occurred over five years. Critics worry the law will make streets less safe, while city officials stress that pedestrians should remain cautious and use marked crossings when possible. The law will go into effect in 120 days, accompanied by a public safety campaign.Jaywalking Is a New York Tradition. Now It's Legal, Too. This is a public episode.

The 118th Congress convened this week, on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. But the Republican-dominated U.S. House of Representatives has failed to show even a semblance of proper function. No business has been conducted for the last three days, because we have no Speaker of the House. And as of this recording, the two-year anniversary of the Jan. 6th attack on Congress, Mr. Kevin McCarthy has Failed to win the Speakership after 11 rounds of voting. Hopefully, by the time you listen to this podcast, our country will have a Speaker of the House so that U.S. Representatives can be sworn in, so they can legislate so that they can finally conduct the people's business. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, a Republican supporter of McCarthy described the opposition to McCarthy's speakership as a "temper tantrum." The Republican opposition to McCarthy's speakership, composed of some 20 Representatives, consider themselves "conservative purists". But the New York Times explains that their agenda "is mostly to defund, disrupt and dismantle government, not to participate in it". "conservative purists"… the historical question that comes to mind when I hear that term is what are the historical roots of the Republican Party, of conservatism, and what are their founding principles. To get answers to these questions, I spoke with Prof Joel Richard Paul, who is a legal scholar and historian and he teaches Constitutional Law and other subjects at UC Hastings College of the Law. In this episode, he also tells us why the name of his law school has changed and also speaks about cancel culture. To learn more about Prof. Paul, you can visit his academic homepage. Here is an Amazon link to his latest book, Indivisible - Daniel Webster And the Birth of American Nationalism, which we discuss in this episode. In addition, below is a link to my conversation with Prof. Gerhardt, in which he compares Mr. Trump's attempt at a comeback in 2024 to prior US presidents. He also tells us what it's like to testify before the U.S. Congress. S2E41: History of Presidential Comebacks, Prof. Michael Gerhardt I hope you enjoy these episodes.

December 30, 2022 — Lawsuits about rails to trails projects have become an industry, according to an expert in the history of public lands in the U.S. In northern California, close to 300 private landowners are suing the federal Department of Justice over the Great Redwood Trail. Planning efforts for the future recreational trail are the responsibility of a state agency after the Surface Transportation Board, a national body that regulates railroads, ruled that the span of line between Willits and Eureka can be abandoned and railbanked. But portions of the trail run through or alongside private property, and some of those landowners are demanding compensation for land they say was taken from them by the Surface Transportation Board's decision. They maintain that the value of their property has been degraded. John Leshy, Emeritus Professor at UC Hastings College of the law, is author of the book, “Our Common Ground: A History of American's Public Lands.” From their beginning, railroads have played a central role in the interplay of public and private property...

In the Tenderloin, it was UC Hastings College of the Law that sued the city of San Francisco over “abandoning” the neighborhood to tents and open drug dealing. In Venice Beach, a couple with two kids filed suit against Los Angeles over the tent city outside their front door. From Phoenix to Portland, Ore., other cases brought by residents fed up with what they see as the ill effects of homeless encampments are also winding through the courts.LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos daily. https://bit.ly/3KBUDSK

Hadar is the Thomas Miller Professor at UC Hastings College of the Law and an expert on criminal law. And the things she has discovered in the course of her research – for example, “pay to stay” schemes whereby prison inmates are forced to pay for their own incarceration, after they are released – have changed the way many view our system of criminal justice. But while Hadar has exposed all manner of corruption and injustice, to me, she has been a source of hope. This is true of her personal life, where she's managed to balance an incredibly intense academic job, risky activism, and raising a child in a historically difficult moment in human history. It's true of her academic and legal work, which has provided crucial support to the movement of open rescue – and also quite possibly saved my own legal license, when the industry attempted to have me disbarred. The most important source of hope, however, comes from her philosophy on life – that human beings, at root, are good and decent beings, and that truth has the ability to correct our flaws to create a better world for everyone.Hope should be a hard thing to maintain, when you're in a position like Hadar's – appreciating in deep detail the many injustices that our society ignores. But Hadar offers some tips in this podcast on how to do just that.

This year's ground shifting Supreme Court term comes to a close on Thursday. This term, the Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, expanded religious rights and struck down gun regulation. In the process, it has positioned its jurisprudence to rely heavily on historical precedents from colonial times to guide its decisions. With confidence in the Supreme Court at an all-time low, many Americans believe that the justices are out of step with the majority of the country. What will that mean for the Court's future? We'll talk to a panel of experts about the term's most significant rulings and look at what might be on the docket for next year's term when Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joins the Court. Guests: Rory Little, professor; UC-Hastings College of the Law; former attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice Margaret Russell, professor of Constitutional Law; Santa Clara University School of Law

The Supreme Court's landmark ruling this past Friday put an end to nearly fifty years of federal protections for abortion rights in the US, and already many states are getting ready to impose full abortion bans. That alone represents a monumental shift in American life, but the full consequences of the court's decision are likely to be even more far reaching. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we discuss what changes are likely to come in a post-Roe America.  Guests:  Dr. Jennifer Kerns,  professor of obstetrics and gynecology, director of the Complex Family Planning Fellowship, UC San Francisco  Rory Little, law professor, UC Hastings College of the Law Shannon Minter, legal director, National Center for Lesbian Rights Host: Keith Menconi

Chesa Boudin came into office at the beginning of 2020 amid a wave of new progressive prosecutors, who had run on promises of major reform. But over the past two years as anger about San Francisco's crime problem has grown, many residents have soured on his leadership, and the anti-Boudin backlash culminated this past week in a successful recall vote.  Of course though Boudin is just one leader in the much larger movement for criminal justice reform, so on this edition of KCBS In Depth, we're going to consider where that movement could be headed next.  Guests:  Hadar Aviram, law professor, UC Hastings College of the Law Nima Rahimi, recall supporter | executive board member, California Democratic Party  Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director, Prosecutors Alliance of California Host: Keith Menconi

In this episode… Technology is speedily moving forward in unprecedented and exciting ways. However, it's advancing faster than regulation can catch up — meaning consumers are typically unaware of the ways their data is being collected and stored. So, how can your business handle data in a way that builds trust? Doing the right thing means not just complying with the law. There is legislation under debate for structured data regulation — but if you want to build consumer trust, you should hop on the bandwagon before the law finally rolls around. It's important to think about the perceptions of consumers. Is the data you're collecting providing value to your customers? Are you actually managing their expectations and maintaining their privacy? In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Alexandra Ross, the Founder of The Privacy Guru, to discuss how to create ethical privacy practices for your business. Alexandra talks about how privacy practices are changing as more businesses move their data to the cloud and the various ways ESG is impacting private equity and capital venture firms. She also shares some resources to deepen your awareness of the best privacy practices.

She holds law and criminology degrees from Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Ph.D. in Jurisprudence and Social Policy from UC Berkeley, where she studied as a Fulbright Fellow and a Regents Intern.

How do we solve this? Well, there may be no magic bullet, but Wayne and Hadar reveal some key steps we can take—as individuals, as societies—to move us in the right direction. “There is no one thing that is a magic bullet that is going to fix the horrors that we're seeing in American streets.” “We're all marinating in stereotypes.” Judge Richard Posner Hadar's most recent book (2020) - Yesterday's Monsters: The Manson Family Cases and the Illusion of Parole Hadar's book (2019) - The Legal Process and the Promise of Justice Hadar's first book (2015) - Cheap On Crime Recession: Era Politics and the Transformation of American Punishment Just Babies: The Origins of Good And Evil - Paul Bloom (2014) Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America - John Sides, Michael Tesler, and Lynn Vavreck (2018) Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

Law professor and author Robin Feldman of UC Hastings College of the Law talks about her book Drugs, Money, and Secret Handshakes with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Feldman argues that the legal and regulatory environment for drug companies encourages those companies to seek drugs that extend their monopoly through the patent system often with insufficient benefit for consumers. The prices for those drugs are then protected from new competition. She also argues that the pharmacy benefit management system allows drug companies to exploit consumers. The conversation concludes with a discussion of what can be done to improve the situation.
