On 9/10, the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in League of Women Voters/California v. Trump, litigation over Trump regime’s effort to take over vote-from-home via USPS regulations. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.305406/gov.uscourts.mad.305406.168.0.pdf
Because this litigation is confusing, quick recap on where things stand as of this thread. Federal District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction against Trump/USPS measures going into effect. 1/ #LawFedi

We’re going to need some legal word smithing on the order of the #GPL and the #CreativeCommons licenses to make a false statement an offence in as many ways and jurisdictions as possible (any ideas, #lawFedi folks?), some #EXIF and #ID3v2 and #PNG and comparable metadata tags for carrying legal statements attesting to non-use of media synthesis (mislabelled as #genAI by GPT vendors and NPU/TPU manufacturers), some apps to interview and educate the user about media provenance and add those tags iff applicable, and some #Fediverse and web browser add-ons to filter out media lacking them unless verifiably produced before a given date.

Pre-print of our Open Access Cambridge UP volume, Rhetorical Traditions and Contemporary Law, is up. This volume explores the often-overlooked relationship between law and rhetoric. Twelve case studies examine a diverse range of legal texts and rhetorical traditions
from ancient times to the present. The volume demonstrates the value of rhetoric in understanding and addressing some of today's most pressing legal and social challenges. https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4892978 #TeamRhetoric #LegalWriting #Lawfedi -

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

You might be surprised to know that one does not have the right to speak with an attorney prior to answering this question (in many jurisdictions), and insistence on speaking with one constitutes a refusal to submit which imposes the civil consequences.
[Image: State v. Reitter, 227 Wis. 2d 213 (1999)]
-
We drill into people's heads that they should request to speak to an attorney and refuse to answer questions if detained by law enforcement, and yet one of the most common interactions (OWI/Drunk Driving investigations) often involves a question from officers without that right and that carries significant civil and evidentiary consequences:
"Will you submit to an evidentiary chemical test for intoxication?"

Fun case I found:
While the default right-of-way rule for vehicles under Wis. Stat. 346.18(1) could plausibly cover airplanes, the WI Supreme Court did not believe the Legislature intended it to do so and the Court was unsure how some terms like “intersection” would apply to air highways.

The most analyzed factor of impairment in authoritative WI cases for determining whether the officer had probable cause to arrest for OWI? That would be…
🥁 *drum roll* 🥁
Odor of Intoxicants Emanating from the Suspect!
The courts considered this factor in the analysis for 53/73 cases and in only three cases did the court determine the evidence was not sufficient to meet the burden.
-
Fun facts:
The most analyzed factor of impairment in authoritative WI cases for determining whether the officer had reasonable suspicion to extend a traffic stop and investigate potential OWI is…
🥁 *drum roll* 🥁
Admission of recent intoxication!
“Just a couple beers officer!”
The courts considered this factor in the analysis for 54/75 reasonable suspicion cases and in only one case did the court determine the evidence was not sufficient to meet the burden.

If you're writing about #DesignPatents be sure to read this before you cite any of those old studies:

For #lawfedi folks that are more of the #lawprofs or #lawstudents variety, we have created a separate channel:

Anyway, there might be a #LawStudentNote about how the MPEP needs to change after Tam/Brunetti, if anyone is interested.

That "Green Tongue" was ever thought to be a factor of marijuana use is one thing, but to see it persisting in actual investigations in 2019 is law enforcement malpractice.
It seems to be that this is a widespread problem with law enforcement being taught to look for a "green film" in their investigations by organizations that provide trainings.
State v. LaFever, 389 Wis. 2d 378 (Ct. App. 2019) (unpublished).

Reckless Drivers Beware: it just got a lot more expensive to drive haphazardly in #Wisconsin.
The base forfeiture was doubled and now comes with an extra $485.00 in driver improvement and safe ride surcharges.
A formerly $313 citation will now likely come in closer to $1,050 for a first offense once all fees and costs are included.

More big trouble for #biglaw.
"Cooley LLP has postponed the start date for its incoming class of first-year associates to Jan 2024. The law firm, founded in Silicon Valley, had laid off 150 lawyers and staff from its offices across the US in 2022. Cooley was one of the biggest recruiters of new talent during the pandemic, but shifting economic conditions have led to a slowdown in demand for business transactions work.”

We're 12 days out from the Dominion/Fox trial. I took a look at what Dominion's odds are of proving actual malice and why that's a big deal. https://www.law.com/delawarelawweekly/2023/04/04/evidence-against-fox-news-in-del-case-may-support-strongest-ever-argument-for-actual-malice/ #lawfedi #defamation #actualmalice

UK Public law question for you on new year's day:
If you could get your MP to pass a single law in 2023 that would impact the constitution or another important public or administrative law area, what would that law be?
Please comment.

While I’m thinking of scholarship about #legislatures, here’s an article by my friend and colleague Robin West, advancing the idea of a “legislated constitution” rather than an “adjudicated constitution.” Particularly resonant today, with U.S. Senate passage of Respect for Marriage Act. https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub/637/ #lawFedi #constitutionalism
