Woman sued neighbor for smell of pot in her home, and won:

"The 76-year-old argued during the trial in January that she has faced health problems including difficulty sleeping ever since she noticed the smell of marijuana, which is legal in the District, in her Cleveland Park home."

@benjaminwittes @Popehat
I will geek out on my #legal areas of interest sometimes though if asked. They’re small town things, though. All the stuff the big dogs like @benjaminwittes or @Popehat couldn’t care two “wittes” about (sorry Ben, couldn’t resist. I geek out on #property, #water, and #administrative law personally. But practice on any given day the gamut of estate planning, family #law, #criminal law, #guardian/conservatorship, #torts, #contracts, #trusts and when my wife retires from the Forest Service I’ll pick up my environmental & natural resource law chops again.

Also a licensed #mediator.

I solve run of the mill problems for run of the mill folks. If you’re ever of mind to chat in generalities .. hit me up. I won’t, however, give specific advice. That’s, erm, frowned upon w/o an atty client agreement and confined to the states I practice in.

I’ll end w/a little piece of general legal advice. Don’t be penny wise and pound poor. If you think you need to talk to a lawyer, you probably do. Make an appointment and see what they have to say before making decisions that could work out poorly for you and wind up costing a ton of money to fix later.

We’re like dentists. Nobody likes to see us. But, a little preventative maintenance goes a long way.

Illinois Man Gets $91M Settlement From 7-Eleven After Losing Legs: the case was one of thousands leveled against 7-Eleven by victims of crippling accidents at store locations across the country.

I see #Torts and the #Flyers are being dumbfucks again. 🙄

They're looking at charges against the parents of the 6-year-old in #NewportNews who shot his teacher. Any #criminal #lawyers want to weigh in? My uneducated guess is that there may be some minor offenses related to their not having properly secured their firearms, but not much more.

The civil #liability is another story, though. The parents' exposure to #litigation is pretty broad, I imagine. Any #torts #attorneys want to share thoughts on that?

Developing the law subject today! Happy times. #law #lawed #medtwitter #meded #healthlaw #medicallaw #torts #ethics #educator

I learn from one of my students’ papers this semester that at least one Oregon ski resort is allowing season pass holders to opt out of the liability waiver for an additional charge. Super interesting idea that I don’t remember hearing before. #torts #waivers

2/3 the room illuminated by the glow of the screens only. Puts many things and debates we are having here into perspective (gas prices...)!

I cannot say enjoy the video. But do watch it if you care about the potential of AI in the defense of #ukraine against the unprovoked RU aggression.

This false imprisonment case is all too reminiscent of the false imprisonment claims married women tried, but were not allowed, to assert under coverture and chattel marriage law. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/alabama-case-over-mistaken-pregnancy-highlights-risks-post-roe-world-2022-12-01/ #torts #tortLaw #LawFedi

#introduction

I've been doing #appellate and #motionpractice since 1977, mostly in the area of civil #litigation, #insurance and #torts, state and federal courts.

I'm the author of the treatise Oklahoma Automobile Insurance Law and Practice.

Been a resident of mastodon for several years, under @WA5PSA@radio.mastodon where I play ham radio and quietly discuss slightly progressive politics.

Excuse the unedited blather - I've been researching and writing all day.

I'm re-reading Evelyn's paper this morning for my chapter on rural infrastructure, and it's REALLY good. If you're interested in #RuralLaw, #Torts, #LegalHistory, #GenderHistory, or #CorporateLaw, you should probably read it, too. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4232347

#introduction I am a prof and the Founding Director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law at Hofstra Law.

I co-host the “Strangers on the Internet” #dating #podcast at http://strangersoninternet.com (:ac_heart: follow us! :ac_heart: ) available on all major platforms. Excited to get to know #lawprofs / #lawtwitter but also others in #academia or #tech, dating app users, etc. 😃

Officially part of the twitter migration. Figured I should hop on the #introduction train.

So I'm a #law professor at Indiana University Maurer School of Law researching anything #cybersecurity #internationallaw #torts #privacy #humanrights #insurance & #nationalsecurity.

Haven’t done a proper #introduction yet! I am a legal #academic at the Uni of Western Australia Law School. I teach and research #torts, #health law & policy and #risk regulation. I am here to build up a community of people keen to share and discuss law, #socialjustice, politics and just fun & interesting stuff! Used to love the birdie but I am too much of a leftie to cop the billionaire BS. So here I am!
