To have been a fly on the wall during OJ Simpson’s privileged conversations with his #lawyers
To know what he actually disclosed to that law firm…
Since he passed away today some people may think that his lawyers (the ones who are still living) can reveal that information.
HOWEVER, the attorney-client privilege survives the death of a client, so his attorneys still may not reveal any of the privileged communications they had with him.
Even if they really want to and people are really curious.
*Note that this works differently where the client is a corporation that subsequently dissolves; courts have ruled that dissolved corporations no longer can assert the attorney-client privilege.

Infectious disease, captive animals, and the Endangered Species Act
There's been a really interesting development in how the Endangered Species Act relates to captive animals in the United States. I picked up on it last fall and spent most of the early part of this year writing a paper about what happened and what implications it might have in the future - but what I didn't expect was to proved right within a month!
Basically, two different lower court judges have ruled recently that exposing captive endangered animals to an increased risk of infectious disease is a violation of the Endangered Species Act. They don’t actually have to get sick - just the fact that the risk wasn’t prevented qualifies. This has super huge implications for zoos and sanctuaries and anywhere else with an endangered species collection. Both lawsuits (one about a lemur, and one about some of the tiger king lions) resulted in major consequences: the lemurs were seized, and since the lions had already been removed prior to that lawsuit, the guy involved got hit with major penalties and prohibitions for the future.
Where I think this potentially creates the most immediate issue is, of course, SARS-CoV-2. Most zoological facilities are ending their requirements for staff to mask and socially distance around susceptible species (and holy heck, I was not aware how many species can get sick from it). This is especially a huge concern for big cats, since they seem to be the most at risk. The ESA lawsuit from 2020, against Jeff Lowe for his treatment of lion cubs, specifically notes that it was a violation for him to not follow “generally accepted” risk mitigation procedures, specifically, not masking and not distancing. So does that mean that zoos and sanctuaries that are having staff stop masking around tigers and lions and snow leopards are violating the ESA? We don’t know for sure, but it’s entirely possible.
The reason we don’t know is that the scope of the ESA is being changed by the interpretation of the courts. Rather than getting amendments passed, or having FWS choose to consider certain things violations, these judges are basically ruling on what they see as a violation of their understanding of the law. And those precedents can have some pretty serious impacts. Other judges aren’t required to rule the same way on similar topics (as long as they’re not in the same district, and a lower court, than the original ruling) but they often take previous precedents on the topic into pretty serious consideration. So for example, the argument that not masking around the lions was based on a precedent from the previous case, where it was ruled that having a lemur living in a situation that made it more likely to get sick was also a violation. So in the next case, courts could choose to agree with the lion and lemur precedents - or not - and we don’t know for sure until it’s litigated. Sigh.
But here’s the thing: there’s plenty of other zoonotic diseases that captive animals have to be protected from. I wrote my paper originally about SARS-CoV-2, but noted at the end that “While SARS-CoV-2 was the zoonotic disease risk during the [lion] court case, it is important to recognize that the ESA violations identified by the courts in that lawsuit and in [the lemur court case] were on the topic of increased or unmitigated disease risk more generally. This new scope of the ESA captive take provision may be relevant to other circulating zoonotic pathogens; for instance, the H5N1 strain of avian influenza has recently proven to be fatal to tigers, mustelids, and some marine mammal species.” I realized after publication that it could be argued that EEHV - the really deadly elephant hemorrhagic herpes virus - might also fall under the scope of these rulings.
And surprise! A couple days ago, it made the news that the Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in Georgia was told to change their practices or be sued for violating the ESA. Some of the allegations? That the facility “failed to prevent tigers and a lion from exposure to the potentially deadly Avian Influenza virus.” I expected to see additional claims in ESA lawsuits about infectious disease risk - I just didn’t expect to see them so quickly after I published a big project warning about the possibility.
I don’t have a sense of where this issue will continue to go from here, as each additional court decisions changes how the precedent might have impacts. But I do think it’s going to be important to pay attention to, and might have pretty big impacts on how facilities handle zoonotic disease moving forwards.
A link to the full 13-page paper on the legal precedents - and my concerns about the impact of ending SARS-CoV-2 precautions around endangered animals - is below.

St. Louis Car Accident Lawyer Near Me
Tumblr media
Car accidents are a common occurrence on the roads of St. Louis, Missouri. These accidents can lead to severe injuries, emotional trauma, and financial strain. If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident, it is crucial to seek the assistance of a dedicated car accident lawyer who can help you get the maximum compensation you need and deserve.
At The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C., we have 25 years of experience helping victims of car accidents in St. Louis. We have a proven track record of success in getting our clients the compensation they deserve for their injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Immediate Steps to Take After a Car Accident
If you have been involved in a car accident, it is essential to take the following steps:
Seek Medical Attention
After a car accident, the first thing to do is seek medical attention, even if you do not feel injured. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent and could worsen over time. Delaying medical attention could also harm your chances of receiving compensation.
Call the Police
Call the police immediately after a car accident, even if it is minor. The police will create an accident report that will document the details of the accident. This report could be helpful when filing a compensation claim.
Avoid Discussing the Accident
It is essential to avoid discussing the accident with anyone except the police and your lawyer. Admitting fault or apologizing could be used against you later.
Obtain Information about the Accident
If you cannot do so yourself, have someone obtain information about the accident, including the name and contact information of the other driver(s), their insurance information, and any witness names and contact information.
Photograph the Scene
Take photographs of the accident scene, including the vehicle damage, any injuries sustained, and the surrounding area.
Take Notes
Write down your account of the accident, including the time, location, and weather conditions. Include any details you remember, no matter how small.
Do Not Accept Initial Insurance Offers
Insurance companies may offer you a quick settlement soon after the accident. Do not accept these offers without consulting a car accident lawyer. Insurance companies often try to pay out as little as possible, and their initial offer may not be enough to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
Contact a Car Accident Lawyer
Contact an experienced car accident lawyer near you as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more challenging it may be to gather evidence and build a strong case.
Compensation for Car Accident Injuries
If you have been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses. Depending on the type and severity of the injury, you may be eligible for compensation for:
Medical bills
Lost wages
Lost earning potential
Pain and suffering
Long-term medical care and rehabilitation
However, insurance companies may try to minimize your compensation. Having an experienced car accident lawyer on your side can help ensure that you receive the compensation you need and deserve.
Why Choose The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C.?
At The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C., we have helped thousands of clients recover the compensation they deserve after a car accident. Our team of experienced car accident lawyers has the knowledge and skills to build a strong case and fight for your rights.

PIL seeking abolishing of the "male" pronoun from the Constitution of India
Harsh Gupta v. Union of India
W P ( c ) 473/2023
Before Hon’ble Mr. Chief Justice of India & Hon’ble Mr. Justice P S Narsimha J
Dismissed on 04.07.2023
it is a mockery of justice that resources of legal system are consumed by petitions in the name of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) when the Supreme Court is facing escalating pendency of cases where the personal liberty of the person is involved and have legitimate expectation of early justice. Now is being brazenly misused to seek publicity or to settle business and political rivalry.
The spirit behind public interest petition was that a citizen may approach the court to ventilate grievance of a person or class of persons who are unable to pursue their rights.
A PIL was filed by a Law student Harsh Gupta from Agra under Article 32 of the Constitution of India seeking to abolish “male” pronouns in the Constitution of India. The matter was heard by a Division Bench of Hon’ble Mr. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud J and Hon’ble Mr. Justice PS Narasimha J. Under the garb of right to equality the petitioner intended to get the word ‘male’ abolished in the Constitution. The Constitution uses the word Chairman now Chairperson but that does not mean a woman can’t be appointed.
The PIL was dismissed with the observation of the Hon’ble Apex Court, ‘ we are not inclined to entertain such petition under Article 32 of the Constitution pf India.’
