Judge in Trump Mar-a-Lago Trial Faces a Telling Ruling: Attorney

US District Judge Aileen Cannon may reveal any “lean” she might exude in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case with her ruling over a debated preliminary hearing, according to attorney Joyce Alene.

Trump, as well as his co-defendant and personal aide Walt Nauta, has pleaded not guilty to all criminal counts connected to the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents since leaving the White House. The case will be tried in Florida federal court, but concerns have been raised that Cannon, a Trump appointee, could exhibit a bias toward the former president

Michigan Supreme Court Upholds UCC Statute of Frauds Rule Requiring Quantity Terms To Be In Writing

The Michigan Supreme Court issued an Opinion on July 11, 2023 in MSSC, Inc. v. Airboss Flexible Products Co., reversing a Court of Appeals opinion holding that blanket purchase orders were enforceable under the UCC Statute of Frauds.

  2. The term, “blanket,” does not constitute a quantity term within the meaning of the Statute of Frauds,

Montreal caravan of vehicles protests French-language law

Cars cruised through Montreal streets on Saturday denouncing Quebec’s French-language law known as Bill 96.

“We’re doing it because we have to save English Montreal,” said organizer Mario Napolitano. “Bill 96 will destroy the city.”

Napolitano is part of the group Bridging Ethnic Communities, a non-profit organization that “unites Quebecers of all languages, ages, and cultures while opposing discrimination, racism and violation of freedoms imposed by the provincial government through its implementation of unreasonable language laws,” according to its website.

Napolitano said the motorcade would respect traffic laws and that the protests would be peaceful.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Dave Sunday, York County’s elected district attorney, said Monday that he will run in next year’s GOP primary for state attorney general, making him the first Republican to get in the race.

Cancer kills firefighters but coverage varies by province. A new law seeks to change that

Fire knows no borders in Canada — but firefighters’ workplace compensation for some types of cancer does. A new federal law could change that.

How provinces compensate firefighters for workplace-related cancers — the most deadly occupational risk they face — varies widely.

Provincial workplace safety boards link different cancers to firefighting, making it harder for some firefighters to access compensation.

“To have this inequality of coverage for firefighters when they get diagnosed with those illnesses is a real disservice to those who serve the community,” said Neil McMillan, director of science and research at the Occupational Health, Safety and Medicine
