  • Summary

  • Mark gets into an altercation with an off-duty police officer. Mark sues him – not for assault, but for violating Mark's civil rights to be free of excessive force. Can he do that? Here's what Judge Thompson in the Federal Court said – and why. 2. Re-visiting an ugly case: where Freedom of Speech comes up in a most unusual way. Concepts we discussed: Prejudgment Remedies; the expanded use of Expert Witnesses for emotional distress claims. 3. Bonnie's car strikes a parked car. Bonnie flees the scene. She gets caught and charged with driving while under the influence. We did a primer on what is called "Per Se license suspension." It's important that everyone who drives a vehicle know about it – and how to fight it if appropriate. Phone calls: one from a listener who wanted to share his experience when he got arrested for DUI. Second call was from a listener wanting to know how lawyers charge to handle social security disability appeals.
