12 Lawyers Who Are The Future Of The Supreme Court Bar <https://www.law360.com/articles/1847896?nl_pk=e602c558-f520-472e-90f1-02d55…> By Jeff Overley and Katie Buehler One attorney hasn't lost a single U.S. Supreme Court case she's argued, or even a single justice's vote. One attorney is perhaps "the preeminent SCOTUS advocate." And one may soon become U.S. solicitor general, despite acknowledging there are "judges out there who don't like me." All three are among a dozen lawyers in the vanguard of the Supreme Court bar's next generation, poised to follow in the footsteps of the bar's current icons.

Runyeon The first criminal indictment of a former American president may have arrived in 21st century New York, but it landed in a court system stuck in the past — where the official record is a disorganized and incomplete mass of paper with no accounting of what's inside.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Chevron Deference <https://www.law360.com/articles/1796324?nl_pk=e602c558-f520-472e-90f1-02d55…> By Juan-Carlos Rodriguez and Madeline Lyskawa The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned a decades-old precedent that instructed judges about when they could defer to federal agencies' interpretations of law in rulemaking, depriving courts of a commonly used analytic tool and leaving lots of questions about what comes next.

MY NAME IS ISREAL. I AM 20.
by Gunnar Larson 31 Dec '24

31 Dec '24

Art Director/Designer: Leonard Sirowitz Photographer: Dick Richards Copywriter: Robert Levenson Agency: Doyle Dane Bernbach, Inc. Client: El Al Isreal Airlines MY NAME IS ISREAL. I AM 20. Good people died that might be born in a land called home. I have heard the stories and seen the graves. But now we are here and the land is ours. Not all milk and honey, but ours. We shared a name, the land and I--Isreal. And we share a birthday. Twenty years. For me, a long time. For my people who waited thousands of years, almost nothing. But we have made something of that nothing. Now the hills of rocks are hills of trees. Fifty million trees. Jerusalem pines, planted one at a time. Cities thrive where nothing thrived Orange trees boom where nothing bloomed. An almost dead language is alive again. We read the Dead Sea Scrolls as easy as you read this magazine. We mine copper where King Solomon mined copper. We make fresh water from the sea, and we share what we have learned with other nations. We build airports and schools in Asia, sell baby chickens and farm equipment in Europe, and exchange our students with even younger countries in Africa. How do we go to so many places? Easy. We have our own airline. El Al Isreal Airlines. You don't know what El Al means? It means "to the skies" in that almost dead langue. It also means that our jets are welcome in 17 different nations. Yes, we have everything now: Universities, symphony orchestras, great museums, politicians, dropouts, traffic jams, a little air pollution--everything. We are of this century, with all the strengths and weaknesses and problems of people everywhere. We will survive. Because, above all, we are here. Alive. In a land called home. -- Gunnar Larson xNY.io - Bank.org 917-580-8053

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FIGHT CITY HALL
by Gunnar Larson 31 Dec '24

Art Director/Designer: Sidney Myers Copywriter: Evan Stark Agency: Doyle Dane Bernbach, Inc. Client: Whirlpool HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FIGHT CITY HALL If you have a product you are not happy with, what do you do? Sit and sulk? Moan to your next-door neighbor? Promise yourself that you'll never buy another product from the manufacturer? A lot of good that will do. No, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer, that's not the answer. If you have a gripe, let the manufacturer know. Call him up. Write to him. Keep after him until he does something about it. Because nothing bothers a reputable manufacturer more than dissatisfied customers. We at Whirlpool believe in putting our money where our mouth is. We believe we make the best appliances you can buy. Automatic washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, dishwashers, etc. And we also believe our Tech-Care Service specialists provide the best service in our field. In addition, we were the first to do away with the complicated standard warranty and replace it with a fully binding, easy-to-understand warranty letter. We were first to provide a free, nation wide telephone number (800-253-1301) for service information. And we were the first to have consultants answer your calls, thereby solving many of your problems right over the phone. But still and all, we know that you can't please all of the people all of the time. That's the reason for the blank letter on the facing page. If you have a gripe about us, we want to know so we can do something about it. Just write your complaint, tear out the page and mail it to us. If you know anything at all about Whirlpool, you know it won't be ignored. By the way, if you have something nice to say about us, we'd like to hear that too. Steve Upton Vice President, Consumer Services Division Whirlpool Corporation

THERE'S MORE MONEY TO BE MADE OUT OF PEACE THAN OUT OF WAR.
by Gunnar Larson 31 Dec '24

31 Dec '24

Art Director: Peter Petronio Photographer: Joe Toto Copywriter: Dick Raboy Agency: Carl Ally Inc. Client: Investors Overseas Services THERE'S MORE MONEY TO BE MADE OUT OF PEACE THAN OUT OF WAR. One of the persistent myths of the 20th century is that war stimulates economic growth. War doesn't stimulate economic growth. It stunts it. In countries that aren't fighting the war, as well as those that are. For in both cases, there is a tremendous spending of money, manpower and time to produce the materials of war. Materials which have no function other than to destroy. Or to be stored, useless, until they are needed to destroy. And the simple fact is, evey dollar wasted on destruction means there is one less dollar to be spent on the products people need and want. A dollar less spent on expansion and progress. And when expansion and progress isn't as great as it could be, then profits can't be as great as they should be. The way to make money is not through war. It's through peace. And by peace we don't mean just an interlude between wars. We mean a permanent peace. But can there be peace? We believe so. If enough people in enough countries in this world are given an opportunity to gain material well-being and a greater since of personal dignity. And this can done through business. Private enterprise. Successful businesses breed a healthy economy, in any nation. A healthy economy means more jobs and better pay for more people. With more buying power, people can afford the products that will give them a better standard of living. A better living standard will bring people a sense of accomplishment, and pride, and dignity. And with it, a desire for social order that could be far stronger than desire for violent disorder. To accomplish that, for business to be healthy and expanding, it needs a constant flow of fresh capital. At IOS, our job is to convince people all over the world to invest in business all over the world -- for a profit. And we don't mean just people who have million dollar portfolios with us. We are also vitally interested in the small investor -- including the man who has never invested before. If this vast source of potential investment capital can be put to work, IOS and our investors will, of course, make more money, but equally important, businesses and people and national economies all over the world will benefit from this much needed capital. And, very importantly, we are convinced that we and others in the financial community will be participating in a sound business endeavor which, almost as a by-product, could lead to perhaps the most effective deterrent to war -- financial security. Right now, IOS does business on six continents -- in mutual funds, banking, investment management, insurance and real estate. In the 12 years we've been in business, more than 500,000 people have have invested more than one billion dollars through us. Our goal is to do business in every country in the free world and on convincing more and more people to invest in businesses all over the world. -- THERE'S MORE MONEY TO BE MADE OUT OF PEACE THAN OUT OF WAR.
