Foundation lectures: online or hybrid?

We are pondering the question of whether the Foundation Lectures should continue to be online only, or whether we should move to a hybrid format with the lectures held in person at CIPA headquarters in London and simultaneously available online via Zoom. A hybrid format would start from the lecture on February 14th. Please let us know what you think by taking one minute of your day to fill in the poll below. If you have questions, or a poll answer that is more complicated than can readily be expressed by clicking a button, get in touch with our Foundation Lectures Co-ordinator Elliot Krishek.

Sorry for the radio silence – I have been in a Queen Mary exam bubble for the past month. Given the disappointment of pre-Christmas cancellations (and the not-so-far-away-ness of the pre-EQEs), I thought it might be nice to organise an event for early February. That being said, I would like to invite you all to play JUNKYARD CRAZY GOLF on TUESDAY 8th FEBRUARY at 7:30pm. Junkyard is found in the Westgate Oxford and is one of those cool new crazy golf/cocktail bars that are all the… Oxford Informals social event on 8th Feb

Help for 1Ls: Rebounding From First-Semester Law School Grades

First semester grades got you down? Wondering how you can work with your current circumstances to make the most of the rest of your 1L year? The ABA and Themis have teamed up to go over what you might do to rebound from a first semester report card that didn’t quite meet the mark. Hosted by Themis Bar Review Director, Rebecca Petrilli.

Why every aspiring construction lawyer should join the ABA’s Forum on Construction Law

As discussed in “ 5 Questions to Ask Before Becoming a Construction Lawyer ,” construction law is the practice of law dealing with design and construction-related issues on public and private projects, ranging from homes to skyscrapers, railroads to airports, and everything in between. Despite the complexity of the industry, the legal practice, somewhat surprisingly, builds upon basic principles that we learn in law school: contracts, property, torts, and administrative law. Using those skills, construction lawyers generally carry out a cradle-to-grave practice that includes advising clients from project inception (with contract negotiation) through the building stages (project counseling) and project closeout (which often involves dispute resolution processes). The practice gives construction lawyers the unique opportunity to develop transactional and litigation skills, likely because the construction process has created unique customs, practices, and even vocabulary, leading courts

What Doesn’t Kill Section 230 Makes it Stronger

By: Marissa Train Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the federal law providing social media platforms with immunity from liability for user generated content, has recently faced objections from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Both parties’ issues stem with the law largely stem from the protection it offers under 230(c), which gives platforms leeway to maintain their own content moderation policies. Democrats largely view those policies as too permissive, causing misinformation to run wild, while Republicans often view the same policies as too restrictive, ‘censoring’ conservative speakers and content. While many federal proposals to change Section 230 have been introduced, only FOSTA-SESTA, an attempt to stop online sex trafficking, became law. Instead, most of the legislative action has been at the state level, particularly in conservative states.  Florida Goes First In May 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill… What Doesn’t Kill Section 230 Makes

NFTs: Coming Soon to a Patent Portfolio Near You?

Photo by Sharefaith on Pexels.comBy: Hannah Avery At this point the craze surrounding NFTs is far from breaking news. NFTs (“non-fungible tokens”) have been created for everything from the “Disaster Girl” meme to the world’s first tweet. They have been the subject of numerous articles, publications, and blogs, including this blog by the Washington Journal of Law, Technology, and the Arts’ Associate Editor-in-Chief Joanna Mirsch, discussing video game-related NFTs. Despite NFTs’ widespread popularity, early “NFT craze” trends seemed at odds with established American intellectual property rights, with many works being minted as NFTs without the consent of the original creator. At the very least, ownership of NFTs was widely regarded as independent of ownership of the underlying intellectual property rights. But… what if they weren’t? While the sale of an NFT by itself does not automatically confer the… NFTs: Coming Soon to a Patent Portfolio Near You?

What are the challenges in developing information around mixing-and-matching COVID-19 vaccines and therapies?

By Rachel Sachs, Jacob S. Sherkow, Lisa Larrimore Ouellette, and Nicholson PriceThe FDA has now authorized three vaccines and several treatments (including both monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule drugs) for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. But the initial evidence supporting these products’ introduction into the market did not include information about how they might work together. Nevertheless, information about mixing-and-matching COVID-19 vaccines and therapies would be highly valuable not only to physicians and their patients, who must already make decisions about what treatment options to pursue under conditions of uncertainty (if the treatments are available), but also for policymakers, who want to know what products to prioritize for investment. Why is it so difficult to obtain this information? How can policymakers encourage its development? What, if anything, is known about mixing-and-matching COVID-19 vaccines and therapies?A growing body of… What are the

Balancing Labor Law and Client Confidentiality in the Social Media Age

By: Kimberly Shely It is common knowledge that lawyers have a professional duty to reasonably ensure their employees abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPCs). This ethical duty includes training their employees on how to maintain client confidences. Lawyers need to address proper social media etiquette with their nonlawyer employees to ensure that they understand that “confidential client information” cannot be discussed or shared on their personal social media platforms. However, lawyers must balance these ethical obligations with employees’ legal rights under labor laws. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) provides employees protection in engaging in concerted activity to better their working environment, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has extended this to include social media posts. Lawyers can balance protecting client confidences with their employees’ rights under the NLRA. Lawyer’s Duties Under the ABA… Balancing Labor Law and Client Confidentiali

When you choose to let out your home, there are various things that you have to do before it is suitable to let out. These include getting the home in a good condition, working out how you will accept rent and there are also various certificates that you will need for legal reasons. It is not just as simple as finding tenants, moving them in and collecting the rent. Not so good news on another electrical price hike from the power provider upsets a number of people like myself. Are you too? If you are, then you must be interested to read this report on how you can generate inexpensive electricity out of a homemade magnetic electric generator. It may possibly be the answer to the high-cost of power fuel and the catalyst to the air pollution problem of our habitat.

In 1996 it became a legal requirement for Landlords to ensure that any rental property has a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate carried out annually, on all gas appliances. Landlords must ensure that all gas appliances and flues fitted in any property have an annual landlord gas safety check by a gas safe registered engineer. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a safety check of all the electrical wiring, including accessories, in a caravan. Electrical wiring deteriorates over time, and a periodic inspection and report is needed to make sure that the electrical installation in a caravan remains safe. The report follows a Periodic Inspection and Test. All electrical installations will deteriorate over time, but we often overlook this fact because the wiring is hidden away inside the walls and ceilings and under flooring, so we never see it. The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” very definitely applies in this case. How fast it deteriorates will depend on the amount of us
