I typically write a few dozen articles every summer and fall about the Handmaiden media’s hyperbolic coverage of the Atlantic hurricane season. We didn’t have one this year.

In 2023, a public-health group sued to force the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to hand over anonymized player-tracking data that a state gaming statute had already required casinos to collect.

AI answer engines are already quoting your client reviews back to prospects, and most firms have no idea which ones.

One text thread on a personal phone can cost a bank nine figures, cost a supervisor a job, and pull a rank-and-file employee into a securities investigation that does not care whose SIM card carried the message.

A fall in a big-box aisle can cost a shopper a broken hip, months of rehab, and a five-figure medical tab before the insurance letters even start.

A plaintiff’s investigator is standing in a tow yard with a laptop, a Nexiq cable, and a preservation letter that went out to the carrier the same afternoon of the crash.

The federal ‘vaccine court’ has eight judges. Eight special masters, appointed to four-year terms, decide every vaccine injury claim filed in the United States, and the pipeline feeding them is about to change in ways most people filing a claim have no idea about.

Is the U.S. citizen sponsor going to be questioned at a family green card interview now, or is it still just the immigrant relative?

The rider’s own motorcycle is now the most detailed witness at the scene of the crash, and that changes how these cases get fought.

The jury trial you assume you’d get if a surgeon left something inside you, or a nurse pushed the wrong medication, may already be gone.
