Throughout 2017, I was riveted by developments in three high-profile criminal prosecutions that were covered extensively by this publication and other media outlets in the region: former Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams; Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian (who was at the helm of an Amtrak train on May 12, 2015, when it derailed), and the members of the Penn State fraternity facing criminal charges in connection with the death of sophomore pledge Timothy Piazza. Whenever there were developments in these cases, I consumed as much media coverage as I could. I checked out what people were saying on social media.

There are those injured workers who seek to maintain activities of daily living through “passive modalities” such as massage therapy, ostensibly saving the insurance company the cost of much more expensive treatment. More numerous are those insurance carriers who do not consider massage therapy to be “medical treatment” at all, and seek to avoid paying for such care—ironically at any costs. “Wouldn't we all love to stay home from work and get a massage,” the cynical criticism goes.

In Winfield v. New York, 15-CV-05236 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 27, 2017), Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker ruled on the plaintiffs' claims that the defendant did not properly produce e-discovery. The opinion is, paradoxically, interesting because it is boring.

Are you looking for ways to simplify decision-making for your business or your life? Instead of agonizing endlessly, would you prefer having standards that automatically and organically eliminate some options while highlighting the efficacy and appeal of others?

On Nov. 29, 2017, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced a revised Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Corporate Enforcement Policy. The new policy contains a clear roadmap for avoiding corporate criminal liability that corporate counsel would be wise to follow.

In the glow of the “fresh start” that a new year promises, a list of resolutions seems like a great idea. But resolutions are often under-defined or overly general intentions–bring in more new clients, grow my book of business 10 percent–rather than specific or well thought-out strategies or objectives.
