In her 16-page ruling, Judge McCormick quoted from Biggie’s 1997 song, “Ten Crack Commandments,” which was included on his posthumously released album, Life After Death.

“Christopher Wallace presciently cautioned: ‘Keep your family and business completely separated,’” she wrote. “After Wallace’s tragic death, however, his mother and widow did exactly the opposite — forming Notorious B.I.G., LLC under Delaware law to manage the late rapper’s intellectual property. This litigation was perhaps the inevitable result. “

One of the Notorious B.I.G.’s former managers has won a legal battle against the late rapper’s widow, R&B singer Faith Evans, in the first of two lawsuits

The First Amendment is not ornamental.

The right to speak carries little meaning if it exists only when the speech is comfortable, convenient, or approved.

Courts unquestionably possess authority to regulate proceedings and, in appropriate circumstances, speech. But a court order that restrains protected speech implicates the First Amendment—and judicial authority does not place that restraint beyond constitutional review.

When an order crosses the constitutional line, the answer is not silence. The answer is a challenge through the law.

Speak. Preserve the record. Challenge the restraint. Protect the right.

The First Amendment does not enforce itself.

Three words found their way into Attorney Rodgers’ vocabulary today while reading case law:

Imbue.
Elucidate.
Elides.

Every opinion is an opportunity to learn something new.

A special shout-out to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for her use of the word elides in an opinion discussing Justice Clarence Thomas’s assertion that the Constitution is “color-blind.” That single word sent me to the dictionary—and earned a permanent place in my legal vocabulary.

The law teaches far more than legal principles. Sometimes it teaches language.
