Impeachment - Did President Trump, Unwittingly, "Secretly" Record Himself and Prove His Conduct Was Malum In Se
Many commentators have noted that proving that a President committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" is not the same as proving that the President committed a crime. The history of the drafting of the Constitution shows that the phrase "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" was adopted to cover a broad spectrum of wrongful acts that may not fit any statutory definition of a crime. A useful comparison might be the conduct of President Reagan, who was not impeached, and President Nixon, who was. "Impeachment" means the process by which the House of Representatives presents Articles of Impeachment, which is the equivalent of an indictment, before the matter moves to the Senate for trial or other proceedings.
You May Think You Are Insured as an Additional Insured But You May Find You Are Not Covered
Anyone who hires someone to do construction should ask the contractor to name them as an additional insured on the contractor's policy.

Doctors may be Convicted of Manslaughter for Prescribing Opioids
In 2004, a physician specializing in pain management, opened a clinic. The prosecution asserted that the clinic was nothing more than a "pill mill" catering to people who were hopelessly addicted to pain medicine, primarily opioids. The evidence showed that defendant engaged in only the most cursory examinations and rarely ordered diagnostic scans. Notwithstanding the options for treating pain, the doctor regularly prescribed opioids as a first resort. Appointments were not necessary and all payments were required to be made in cash. From 2008 through October 2011, defendant wrote over 21,000 prescriptions for controlled substances, at an increasing pace, with more than half for substances containing the opioid oxycodone, and more than a quarter for alprazolam (Xanax).
If you are injured in a foreign country can you sue in the United States? Probably not, under the doctrine of Forum Non-Conveniens
Americans who travel abroad are sometimes injured in accidents, just like at home. Perhaps the most common accident is a slip and fall at a hotel or resort. Upon returning to the United States for treatment, the injured party may call a lawyer and ask if her or she can sue in the United States. The answer is probably no.
