    Stopping Pa.'s Puppy Mills in Their Tracks

    By Penny Conly Ellison | June 20, 2017

    In the 1990s and early 2000s, Pennsylvania was known as the puppy mill capital of the East—if not the entire United States. There were over 350 licensed large-scale breeding kennels, often housing hundreds of dogs each, as well as countless unlicensed kennels. Prioritizing profits over the dogs' wellbeing, many of these large commercial kennels provided obscenely unsanitary and inhumane housing, little or no veterinary care for the dogs and kept the breeding dogs in cages or kennels for their entire lives. The dogs often got no exercise, had no protection from extremes of heat and cold and suffered from splayed paws as a result of having to stand on wire mesh rather than a solid floor.

    By Howard J. Bashman | June 20, 2017

    Under the so-called "final ­judgment rule"—which federal appellate courts and the state appellate courts of Pennsylvania follow to slightly differing degrees—appellate review of even a ­tremendously important ruling of a trial court ordinarily must await the completion of the entire case.

    Williams' Lawyer: DA Made 'Poor Decisions,' but None of Them Crimes

    By P.J. D'Annunzio | June 20, 2017

    Unpacking Unbundled Legal Services: Why Does the DOJ Care?

    By Ellen C. Brotman | June 20, 2017

    On April 13, Jennifer Barnes, ­disciplinary counsel of the Executive Office of Immigration Review, (EOIR) a federal agency within the Department of Justice, sent a cease and desist letter to a nonprofit organization in Seattle, Washington. If enforced, the cease and desist letter would effectively prevent the nonprofit from fulfilling its mission. The nonprofit at issue is the Northwest Immigration Rights Project (NWIRP), founded in 1984, and its mission is to assist undocumented immigrants through legal assistance, advocacy and education.

    Significant Change in Patent Exhaustion From the Supreme Court

    By Lawrence E. Ashery | June 19, 2017

    When was the last time you sold your used car and worried about infringing the patent rights of the manufacturer? My guess is you would say "never." It's not as if people are selling their pre-owned cars on eBay or Craigslist (for example) and being sued for patent infringement by the likes of GM, Ford or Toyota. But think about it—the modern automobile includes tons of technology that is covered by literally thousands of patents. And U.S. patent law permits a patent owner to "exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling its invention throughout the United States ...," (35 U.S.C. Section 154(a)).
