Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court - Social Media - 4th Amendment - Friend

I learned of this case via Professor Volokh's blog - A person accepts a "friend" request from a person not known to him and who is an undercover officer. The person then posts a picture that the officer records and uses to arrest and prosecute the person.  Is that a violation of privacy rights and subject to exclusion under the 4th Amendment.  NO.  No bright line rule here but the rule of reasonableness applies and since the officer did not mislead the person there was no reasonable expectation of privacy.

10th Circuit - Climate change - Federal Officer - Removal

In a suit brought by the Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County and supported by IMLA as an amicus, the 10th Circuit on remand from the Supreme Court again concluded that the basis for removing the case to federal court did not meet he six part test.  (Previously, the court had limited itself to the federal officer question.)  Thus, the case is remanded to the state courts.  IMLA supported the County and the other Plaintiffs in fending off this effort by the fossil fuel industry to keep the matter in federal court.  Congratulations to the team and to IMLA's pro bono attorney Robert S. Peck, Center for Constitutional Litigation, P.C.

Civil Rights Defense - Employment Law Issues - CLE - Model City Charter
You can get the most effective learning experience in defending civil rights cases and more by attending the IMLA program in DC.  You can do so virtually or in person and offices can get a whole office price for virtual attendance.  Dare to Compare IMLA's CLE product with others, number of CLE hours, topical programs and its price.  NCL made some significant changes to its Model City Charter that benefit city attorneys, come to the Seminar and learn how.
