NEWS FLASH: YOU CAN SUE “CITY HALL” (BUT THERE’S A CRUCIAL STEP YOU NEED TO TAKE FIRST)

News Flash: You Can Sue

Recently, a potential client named Joe walked into our office seeking advice. He had been involved in a car accident, and his car had hit a massive pothole on a city street. The impact caused his car to veer sideways, ultimately colliding with a telephone pole. Joe suffered serious injuries, missed work, and faced mounting medical bills. However, his neighbor had confidently told him, “You can’t sue City Hall!”  I asked Joe what law school his neighbor graduated from, and Joe told me that his neighbor wasn’t a lawyer.  Not surprising.

Understanding Your Rights:
 
I explained to Joe that he had done the right thing by seeking legal counsel promptly after the accident. Why? Because I drew upon my 45-plus years of legal experience to inform him: Yes, you can sue “City Hall.” But there’s a catch.

USCIS Extends Covid-19-Related Flexibilities

USCIS Extends Covid-19-Related Flexibilities

The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services announced that their COVID-19 policy allowing petitions and applications to be filed with copies of signatures on forms will become a permanent policy. This policy has helped many clients who spent precious resources sending ink signatures via couriers across the nation, and sometimes between continents, just to comply with original ink signature requirements at USCIS. Making this policy permanent is a welcome step forward for USCIS, bringing the agency a little closer to reflecting modern business norms.

The announcement, available HERE, also included an extension of some COVID-19 filing deadline flexibilities through this October.

NIL Deals for International Student Athletes

​Beginning on July 1, 2021, the NCAA amended its bylaws to allow student-athletes to receive compensation in exchange for their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) for the first time. College athletes across the country have since signed thousands of endorsement deals worth millions of dollars. One projection expects the college athletics NIL market to grow to $1 billion in the next five years. Notably absent from NIL activities have been the majority of the NCAA’s approximately 20,000 international student-athletes.
