A reputable medical malpractice company is one that focuses on the needs of clients who have experienced illness, death, or injury because of wrongful action whom they have entrusted their care. Most practitioners prove their competence each day, working ethically and diligently in the care of their patients.

Law firms cite to a lot of things, like cases.? But, when it comes to modernizing business management tactics, law firms cite traditional barriers, like cost and effort.? Law firm culture is a static one, embracing of the status quo, at all costs.? If you’re a lawyer, you’re probably willing to remain on the Titanic, as it recedes below the water line, because jumping into a life boat seems like a significant and uncomfortable change.?

As we wrote here , at the FCC’s December meeting, the FCC was scheduled to adopt an order eliminating the requirement that broadcasters post a physical copy of their licenses and other instruments of authorization at their control points or transmitter sites. In fact, the Commission adopted that order before the meeting, and it today published the order in the Federal Register , meaning that it is effective as of today.

Anyone in California who has ever lost a job knows that this experience can be highly upsetting, stressful and even traumatic.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, lawyers can code, if they want to; but, they don’t have to. There’s a prevailing argument in legal tech circles over whether lawyers should be coders. This argument is often misconstrued to mean that lawyers should be developing their own software. And, that’s an entirely different thing. It’s sort of like making the assumption that the guy who tinkers with an old Corvette on the weekend should launch an automotive corporation.

When thinking about how to market a law firm effectively, the question of frequency is important, especially as it relates to content marketing : get as much of your stuff out there into the world, as often as you can, and people are bound to pay attention to you. It’s not quite that simple; but, that is the gist of it. I n addition to having a lot of marketing materials in your holster, though, it’s also important to consider the breadth of your marketing attack.

For my money, unless you have actually been a real-life, honest-to-goodness website designer at some point in your career, and if you're a lawyer, it's never a good idea to design and maintain your own website.? It's kind of like performing open heart surgery on yourself, and it can have the same negative effects on your business that it would on your body -- including the potential for flat-lining.?

The FCC yesterday announced that it is setting up a consumer help desk , where operators will be standing by to answer questions about rescanning the TV spectrum to find TV stations that have changed channels due to the repacking of the TV band. Many TV stations will be changing channels due to the repacking of the TV band following the broadcast incentive auction which shrunk the number of channels dedicated to TV broadcasting as part of the TV band was repurposed for wireless communications us

We usually think of the FCC as the agency that sets the details of the broadcast disclosure obligations for political candidate’s TV ads. But the Federal Election Commission has its own rules for political advertising that are binding on the candidates, rather than on the stations. But because these ads run on broadcast stations, stations need to pay attention to them to avoid getting caught up in arguments about whether candidate ads are legal, and because the FEC rules often get adopted by the

Back in October, the FCC eliminated the requirement that broadcasters file contracts and organizational documents with the Commission. See our post here for more details. That change became effective on January 22, 2019 , as noted in an FCC Public Notice released earlier this week. This change was part of the Modernization of Media Regulation initiative, and was another change made possible by the online public file.
