Oh that’s Lawful (The Dean Sperling Blog)
Plot Thickens in Wisconsin Movie Theater Parking Lot Dispute
When you go into a mall area, do you ever stop and consider who actually owns the parking lot? Probably not, because you’re an absolute genius at parking and pretty much laser-focused on getting that perfect space with great distance between cars and super close proximity to the front door. And doesn’t it feel great […]
Nutty Chinese Trade Dispute Now Impacting California Agriculture
Let’s face it. All disputes are pretty nuts, but this one ALSO involves fruit and wine!

Penn v. Uber Shows the Dangers of Nondisclosure Following a Data Breach
Uber’s many legal troubles continue as Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro is now suing the ride-sharing service for failing to disclose within a reasonable time that it had suffered a data breach that affected 600,000 drivers globally. AG Shapiro claims Uber, therefore, violated a state law that requires companies to notify consumers affected by data […]
A Case of Ego and Alter Ego
Sigmund Freud (you know him, scruffy beard, looks a bit crazy…) initially considered the “ego” to be a sense organ for perception of both external and internal stimuli. He thought of the ego as synonymous with consciousness and contrasted it with the repressed unconscious. Most people are all about their own egos. Hey, it’s how we’re […]
SCOTUS Decides Wyoming and Montana’s Water Dispute Case
What do you do when states have legal disputes? Settle them in The U.S. Supreme Court, of course. And SCOTUS has now ordered the state of Wyoming to pay Montana more than $38,000 in damages and interest and $67,000 in court costs in a long-running dispute over water rights that affect farmers and ranchers on […]
