In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday curtailed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s authority to enforce security fraud violations, ruling in favor of a hedge fund manager and former conservative radio show host seeking a jury trial over an in-house review by the agency. The consequences of the ruling could be far-reaching, potentially requiring agencies like the SEC to pursue violations in federal court rather than through internal processes, leading to challenges in policing fraud and protecting investors while contributing to federal court backlogs. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the decision for a 6-3 majority, with the court’s…

This decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch in a 5-4 majority opinion, places implementation of the Biden program on hold as a complicated legal battle unfolds.…

In a stunning turn of events, Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the “hush money” trial in New York. Despite this conviction, many Americans were surprised to learn that having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify someone from serving as president of the United States, should they be elected. The US Constitution does not explicitly disallow it, leaving the door open for individuals with criminal records to hold the highest office in the country. However, for many Americans with criminal records, finding employment can be a significant challenge. Even though there…

In a recent development, Uber Technologies and Lyft have agreed to adopt a $32.50 hourly minimum pay standard for Massachusetts drivers and pay $175 million to settle a lawsuit by the state’s attorney general alleging they improperly treated drivers as independent contractors who can legally receive lower compensation than employees.
