		<description><![CDATA[In the April 17 decision Missouri v. McNeely, the U.S. Supreme Court held that as far as the non-consensual drawing of blood from DUI suspects is concerned, there is no “per se” exception to the warrant requirements of the 4th Amendment. This decision had been anxiously awaited by both the DUI defense bar and prosecutors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently advised a caller on the content of an advertisement that he wanted to place in order to provide notice that his practice was for sale. There were some specific content ideas that I suggested to do this more effectively, but it occurred to me that in a more general way they applied not just to selling a practice, but generally to selling a lawyer’s services through the use of advertisements. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On February 27, the U.S. Supreme Court made the right call by rejecting the SEC’s attempt to expand the government’s ability to bring civil penalty actions against financial institutions, businesses and individuals. In Gabelli, et. al. v. SEC, the government had taken the unprecedented position that the “discovery rule” applied to statutory enforcement actions covered under 28 U.S.C. section 2462, the five year statute of limitations provision.  An SEC ruling would have allowed the government to bring new claims against companies and individuals based upon old activities if the government took the position that it had no knowledge of the conduct.]]></description>
