A single deleted Slack channel can cost a company more than the underlying dispute ever would. Adverse inference instructions, court-ordered forensic exams, seven-figure sanctions, and in some cases criminal exposure all trace back to the same moment: someone at the company knew a fight was coming and the data...
Most roadside drug prosecutions don't turn on what was in the car. They turn on a narrower question: whether the officer had legal authority to still be standing there when the search began. A stop that starts lawfully can slide into an unlawful seizure in a matter of seconds,...
The Supreme Court has said the government generally gets just 48 hours to bring an arrested person before a judge for a probable cause hearing, a window set in County of Riverside v. McLaughlin. Two days. That's the clock the system runs on, and it's shorter than most people...

A claim can be false in several ways. Someone might exaggerate the value of...
A driver passes a cyclist, then swings right across the bike's path at the next intersection or driveway. The bike goes into the passenger side of the car. That's the right hook, and it's the most common serious bike-car collision on city streets. It's also the one where fault...
