Crime and Consequences Blog. Cutting and pasting from his last 3000 speeches, Attorney General Holder testified today before the House Judiciary Committee.
He repeated his standard lines in favor of cutting by half the minimum required sentences for drug dealers -- which, of course, he never actually identifies as "cutting by half the minimum required sentences for drug dealers. " Instead, he talks in roundabout language designed to obscure what's actually going on. Thus, he uses the always-a-good-tipoff set of phrases like "evidence-based," "commonsense change," and "tough and smart. " For right now, I want to highlight one thing Holder said that's simply not so. The Faculty Lounge. Truth on the Market. TaxProf Blog. The Situationist. Religion Clause. PrawfsBlawg.

March 22, 2013 In one of the stranger lawyer ethics decisions we've seen lately, the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a complaint against a veteran Milwaukee divorce lawyer initiated by a Tennessee lawyer over internal American Bar Association politics.
The Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a complaint against Richard Podell last year, charging that he engaged in professional misconduct when he filed redundant expense requests with the ABA for his trip to the mid-year meeting in Orlando in 2010, and got back $832.70, about $580 more than he was entitled to. The trip cost another $2,028.36 for which he was not reimbursed. When the ABA saw the duplication, it audited Podell's requests and found similar repeat reimbursement requests the three prior years, resulting in a total overpayment of $1,155.
But a Tennessee lawyer and fellow longtime ABA officer and delegate, T. Bahner said he doesn't understand how the referee and court came to their conclusions. Legal Blog Watch. Law Blog.

Product manufacturers have an obligation to ensure all items they produce are reasonably safe.
If a manufacturer, distributor or retailer sells a product that causes harm due to a flawed design, manufacturing defect or failure to warn, the responsible party may be held strictly liable for compensating victims for their injuries. Often when a product causes injury, the product defect poses a risk to hundreds or even thousands of people. The victims of a defective product may file claims to recover compensation, but these claims are not usually processed individually.
Instead, cases may be considered mass tort claims and consolidated in various ways. Understanding consumer class actions and mass torts is important for all victims of defective products as you determine if joining your claim with others is the best way to get justice.

SCOTUSblog. Justice Brennan. A new progressive group in central Oklahoma designed to “promote progressive ideals, issues and candidates” has named itself the “Brennan Society” in honor of Justice Brennan.
There are plenty of legal lectures, awards and groups named after Justice Brennan but this was the first overtly political group that took him as their inspiration. So I contacted Tom Guild, one of the organizers, who helped found the group last September, to find out what prompted them to bestow this particular honor. “Justice Brennan is our role model,” Guild, a former University of Central Oklahoma political science professor, explained in an email. “He was able to put together coalitions on the court to promote one man, one vote, women’s rights, the right to privacy, racial integration, social justice and led the court in taking many other important steps forward … We intend to try to build on the progress that he achieved for our country. Josh Blackman's Blog. Protected Blog › Login. Bench Memos. The IRS and its defenders in Halbig v.
Sebelius, one of several cases challenging IRS’s interpretation of the Affordable Care Act, have raised questions about whether Congress really meant to deny tax subsidies to taxpayers if their states didn’t set up insurance exchanges. As we shall see, this was one of several mechanisms to “encourage” states to set up exchanges by threatening their residents with the loss of benefits if they didn’t join the party. The central issue in Halbig, you’ll recall, is whether insurance plan tax subsidies established under 26 U.S.C. § 36B apply only to plans purchased on an exchange “established by the State,” as the statute says, or whether the subsidies also go to plans purchased on a federally-established exchange.
The IRS issued a regulation taking the latter point of view, roughly doubling the number of states in which plans will receive subsidies.
