Social Media Savvy for General Counsel

Some employers vigilantly monitor communications among their employees to avoid the pitfalls associated with inappropriate communications. It is important for in-house counsel to know that, while the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been quick to file suit against employers in such cases, no court has yet to rule on the NLRB's interpretation of the National Labor Relations Act with respect to electronic communications of employees of private employers, writes Jay M. Wallace.

Good Fences Make Good Regulators

Government agencies with internal legal teams were put on notice Monday that ex parte communications between their staff prosecutors and decision makers are no longer allowed. That decision by the California Supreme Court will force several agencies, including the state attorney general's office, to institute policies to ensure that every case they handle is free of prosecutorial bias. Amici curiae, including the AG's office, had argued that such a ruling could be costly and disruptive.

The Girl Scouts have blocked her East Haven driveway with a split rail fence and a pile of boulders to stop McGuire and her brother from driving on Sperry Lane, the private lane that leads to Camp Murray, a Girl Scout camp. The organization is also suing the siblings. The dispute started after McGuire and her brother each built a home seven years ago in back of their parents' home on a lot that fronts the Girl Scouts' private road.
