LEGAL DESERTS: Scarcity of lawyers threatens justice in many rural areas

The Carolinas feature much in the way of habitats and landscapes. There are mountains, flatlands, foothills and oceans. And deserts. These deserts are not barren areas devoid of water and life, but socioeconomically challenged pockets of the states devoid of attorneys and, often, justice.

NIL law changes face of college athletics

Two years after the U.S. Supreme Court decided that college athletes can be compensated for the use of their name, image and likeness, lawyers who handle NIL cases are still defining the specifics of practicing in that field.  NIL law effectively became a field of practice after the court’s unanimous decision in NCAA v.

Five Questions with Donald Reynolds and Larry Robbins 

Delaware’s Chancery Court is deciding whether TripAdvisor can leave the state and reincorporate in Nevada, a move that the plaintiffs say will help insulate company directors from stockholder litigation.

POINT OF NO RETURN: Working from home has become the norm 

The old way of practicing law is dead, and the coronavirus killed it.   If that sounds like hyperbole, ask around. Better yet, look around your local law office.

Escaping Liability: Texas Two-Step’ Under Scrutiny

Depending on whom you ask, the pejoratively titled “Texas two-step” is either a strategic, viable defense to mass tort claims or an unfair abuse of the Bankruptcy Code.   “The term is clearly meant to be an amusing reference to country line dancing, which is popular in Texas, as well as many other Southern states,” […]

5 Questions with Bradley Anderton 

Charlotte attorney Bradley Anderton was recently featured in a magazine article in which he discussed the issue of judges misunderstanding social media and technology and how that misunderstanding relates to sexual assault cases.

5 Questions with Drew English 

Despite the federal government stepping in to save members of recently collapsed banks, including the Silicon Valley and Signature banks, many remain anxious and question if their money is safe in their financial institutions.
