If you’re feeling a bit dazed and confused in terms of which states are doing what, where, and how, as it relates to marijuana legalization, you are not alone. Marijuana (recreational use vs. medical use), THC, CBD, industrial hemp, decriminalization, rescheduling – all of these areas of discussion are intertwined and create some rather complex issues for law enforcement. Currently,
A toxic tort is a personal injury claim for harm caused by exposure to a dangerous substance. This can be an environmental toxin or a defective drug. Toxic torts can arise in a wide variety of situations including exposure to pharmaceuticals, asbestos or other toxins in our work environments, at home and even in our drinking water. Traditional theories of
In the “good old days” surgeries were performed in hospitals and patients were kept for several days for observation. Now, all but the most major and complex of surgical procedures seem to be performed as “day surgeries” at out-patient surgery centers. Often, patients are released within hours of major surgery. I’ll have to tell a little story on myself. I
We have written several times about counterfeit products being sold on Amazon. The Amazon selling platform welcomes all sellers and buyers. As a result, it has become so vast that control, much less elimination, of counterfeits seems to be an unreachable goal. In 2017, Amazon sales were reported to be almost 178 billion dollars through more than two million sellers.
The word transgender has been embroiled in controversy. When Bruce Jenner openly transitioned to Caitlyn Jenner, the public fervently debated whether or not she deserved the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs. Restroom hysteria erupted in 2016 when people argued over which bathroom a transgender individual should use. President Obama established framework that allowed transgender individuals to serve
Is peaceful divorce an oxymoron? Not anymore. As a recovering family law litigator, I have handled hundreds of family law cases. I have come to believe that so much of understanding and achieving my clients’ goals involves assessing probable outcomes and anticipating and responding to the psychodynamics of the spouses; i.e., how the parties relate, use control, intimidation, and other
In 1990, Congress created the employment- based fifth preference (EB-5) program in order to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Through this program, qualified foreign investors, their spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence of the United States. In order to obtain legal permanent residence through
The cultural creep toward Arizona family law judges making parenting decisions has been altered with two recent decisions by the Arizona Court of Appeals – Nicaise v. Sundaram and Paid E v. Courtney F. More than 25 years ago it was established that court-appointed psychologists who were performing custody evaluations enjoyed immunity. While extending this immunity, the court articulated that
As unfortunate as it may be, I will sometimes receive calls from other attorneys who represent a parent who has just passed away and the question inevitably will be “can the grandparents sue for custody now or are they too late?” The answer is generally they are too late. Therefore, it is best for grandparents to file a motion for
In our lifetimes, violet hues have become synonymous with the state of Minnesota. Much of that has to do with the 1961 arrival of the Minnesota Vikings on the local sports scene and the popularity of the purple & gold NFL franchise. However, the work-product and predilections of Prince Rogers Nelson for all things purple has cemented that color as
