    Sealing Law Is Step in Right Direction

    By Travis Talbot | June 20, 2017

    Travis Talbot writes: The recent victory for Raise the Age advocates came with a potential added benefit for New Yorkers of all ages. Appended to reforms aimed at more fairly dealing with the state's juvenile population is a statute that attempts to bring New York up to speed with the majority of states on the question of just how long someone should be haunted by isolated mistakes in their past.

    By Kristen Rasmussen | June 19, 2017

    A federal judge in the Eastern District has dismissed charges accusing a Long Island doctor of overprescribing opioid medication.

    Hurdles and Consequences to Asserting the Fifth Amendment in Civil Litigation

    By Edward M. Spiro and Judith L. Mogul | June 19, 2017

    In their Southern District Civil Practice Roundup, Edward M. Spiro and Judith L. Mogul write: Although a party or witness in civil litigation may invoke the Fifth Amendment, such invocation often comes at a high price, because, in contrast to the criminal context, the finder of fact in a civil case may draw an adverse inference against the party or witness who declines to provide evidence based on the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Recent decisions from the Southern District address when and how the Fifth Amendment can be invoked in civil litigation, and the ramifications to litigants when parties and non-party witnesses avail themselves of that privilege.
