    The Value of ComFed for New Lawyers (And Not So New Ones)

    By Michael Cardello III | January 13, 2025

    Having started my tenure as chair of the Commercial and Federal Litigation Section (ComFed) this past June, one of my goals has been to get more attorneys actively involved in all that the section has to offer. For as much value as membership carries for experienced attorneys, it is just as important for the younger generation of attorneys to participate as well, especially early in their careers.

    By Robin van der Meulen | January 13, 2025

    The year 2024 has been a momentous year in antitrust, reflecting the Biden administration’s views on robust antitrust enforcement. Among the highlights, the Federal Trade Commission in April announced a new rule banning noncompete provisions and in October issued sweeping changes to premerger notification (HSR) rules. The U.S. Department of Justice filed antitrust lawsuits against Live Nation, Apple, and Visa, accusing all three of maintaining unlawful monopolies in violation of the Sherman Act.

    Real Property Lawyers Need New Tools

    By Shelby D. Green | January 13, 2025

    In this ever-changing physical and legal world, to fulfill these duties, lawyers must develop new tools or at least sharpen that most essential of all tools—the capacity to learn new things and craft creative and effective ways to navigate through the complexity. Although basic legal concepts (e.g., what are cognizable interests in land, what is good title) remain largely unchanged, the duties and risks to parties in transactions are being radically transformed by new societal imperatives and technological (both knowledge and transactional) inventions.

    Criminal Justice Discovery Reform: More Reforming than Meets the Eye

    By Leah Nowotarski | January 13, 2025

    What impact has discovery had on speedy trial? Certificates of compliance have caused statements of readiness and corresponding defense obligations to be scrutinized more closely than ever before. What actions or lack thereof make a statement of readiness truly illusory? Prosecutors work within stricter time frames and receive less leniency on failing to comply with them, resulting in what many believe are dismissals based on “technicalities.”

    Advocating for Trans Youth and Protecting Artistic Expression

    By Samuel W. Buchbauer | January 13, 2025

    Our section is committed to advocating for trans youth. In recent years, attacks on access to gender-affirming health care for trans youth and legislative efforts to limit their participation in sports have become widespread. One case has even found its way to the U.S. Supreme Court: United States v. Skrmetti. This case concerns the legal challenge to Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, which prohibits all forms of gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapies and surgical interventions.

    By Adam Seiden | January 13, 2025

    We lawyers face enormous stress and pressure in our occupation. We are often careful not to share our feelings with anyone for fear of how it may injure our reputation among peers and/or clients.
