“Hollywood production workers voted to authorize a nationwide strike in a bid for better working conditions and pay, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) announced Monday. Why it matters: The vote comes after union talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) arrived at a standstill, with the IATSE rejecting the initial offer.”

“Law school was once considered a surefire ticket to a comfortable life. Years of tuition increases have made it a fast way to get buried in debt.

Recent graduates of the University of Miami School of Law who used federal loans borrowed a median of $163,000. Two years later, half were earning $59,000 or less. That’s the biggest gap between debt and earnings among the top 100 law schools as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, a Wall Street Journal analysis of federal data found.

Graduates from a host of other well-regarded law schools routinely leave with six-figure student loans, then fail to find high-paying jobs as lawyers, according to the Journal’s analysis of the latest federal data on earnings, for students who graduated in 2015 and 2016.”

With high-paying jobs out of reach for most, graduates of the University of Miami and other well-regarded programs routinely carry six-figure student loans for years. “I thought I would come out making much more than I did,” said a recent graduate who owes nearly $300,000.

“The court ruled 4-3 that officers commit an unreasonable search and seizure under the Iowa Constitution when they look for evidence of crimes in trash left for collection outside homes.

The tactic amounts to an unconstitutional trespass on private property and violates citizens’ expectations of privacy, especially in cities that have ordinances barring residents from accessing others’ trash, Justice Christopher McDonald wrote for the majority.”

A divided Iowa Supreme Court on Friday banned police from searching people’s uncollected trash without a warrant, outlawing an investigative technique that had been used for decades.

“Fifty-five percent of the cases dismissed were “narcotics-related,” the District Attorney’s Office said, a pattern that aligned with Williams’ campaign pledge to toss out low-level drug charges in order to focus on crimes of violence.

“Many of the cases dropped by Williams were growing stale, according to his office. Roughly 65% were more than two years old.

None of the charges dismissed in Williams' first month were for crimes that carry a sentence of life without parole, according to a list of 705 charges dismissed provided by his office. Individual cases can involve multiple charges.

At least 120 of the charges dismissed were for ma*****na possession or distribution.”

Visiting a client. Gang enhancements under Penal Code section 186.22 can potentially turn a crime which carries no more than few years into a situation where the defendant is facing life in prison. Knowing the elements required by the statute and the caselaw interpreting that statute are going to be very important when negotiating a potential settlement, a plea bargain with the district attorneys office.

Pretrial detention more than anything else is meant to ensure that the accused does not flee the jurisdiction. Considering the defendant’s wealth the judge clearly was concerned that if she is released on bond she may never come back to court.

“For substantially the same reasons as the Court determined that detention was warranted in the initial bail hearing, the Court again concludes that no conditions of release can reasonably assure the Defendant’s appearance at future proceedings,” Nathan wrote Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge rejected a $28.5 million proposed bail package for Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend Monday, saying her incarceration is necessary to ensure she faces trial on charges...

California’s chief justice puts forth a plan to streamline criminal cases and clear the backlog.

Potential plan :

Appearance is mandatory, either through counsel or by the defendant if self-represented. Defendants who are represented would have a right to appear through counsel and would not be required to be present.

The conference could take place in person or through remote appearance, based on availability of court facilities and whether the conference is being staffed by a judge from the Temporary Assigned Judges Program.

A court requesting an emergency order with a time extension for holding criminal trials will be required to include a description of their readiness conference program. (Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye has so far signed about 400 emergency orders during the course of the pandemic).
