The Court of Chancery spends a lot of time deciding cases that involve multi-billion-dollar deals. Its equity jurisdiction means it also gets to decide things like who should keep Tucker the Goldendoodle (don't worry, he's not getting cut in half) courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

Are we 100% sure the government shutdown is not just a ruse to let federal employees watch playoff baseball?

I would like to present this footnote from Magistrate Wright with no context. (Full opinion here: courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...)

Fall 2020 (just moved to Philly): I suppose I should try to watch an Eagles game Fall 2025: I think each Eagles player deserves to spit on one member of the opposing team every game without consequences

This makes sense as Delaware is notoriously a state that doesn't have any practicing lawyers and doesn't ever have lawyers from other states file briefs in any of its courts

My latest for Litigation Daily: some thoughts on how Texas and Delaware compare in the relationship between their business courts and legislatures.

area man beats sandwich crime charge, will not be sub-poenaed

Look I know from experience prisons will do anything to keep media out, but now that Jen Shah, Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell are all in the same prison Bravo should have at least made some phone calls floating a new Housewives franchise

I put together an update on what's been going on with the constitutional challenge to SB 21 since the Supreme Court agreed to consider it in June.

Imagining a good CMS experience brought me the closest I've ever been to having any interest in seeing any superhero movie

well well well, looks like there IS something AI can't do better than I can

THEY LITERALLY DID THE ONION HEADLINE

Sure the decline of SEPTA means every day it takes me longer to get to the office I have to go to for no discernible reason, but if it were fully functional or I worked from home I wouldn't have walked past the man who yelled angrily that he liked my dress this morning. Balance

Does every Uber driver in Philadelphia have a broken AC in their car or do I just have horrible luck? I'm too sweaty of a person for this even when it's not 90 degrees

VC Will said during yesterday's hearing that she has concerns about civility within the Chancery bar: "Some of the very sad public food fighting that we've recently seen on social media, even among senior members of our bar, is starting to bleed into court filings." www.law.com/delbizcourt/...

I've gotta say, VC Cook really reeled me in with this opening line (from courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...)

I went totally offline while on vacation all last week and today am dealing with the aftermath: literally 700 unread emails

Perpetually unclear why TSA at PHL is designed to give every passenger the experience of Ralphie in A Christmas Story being told "Hey, kid! The line ENDS here. It BEGINS there" by someone gesturing to a 1/4 mile long single file line

The Delaware Supreme Court has reversed the Columbia Pipeline case.

There are two types of people in the world: people who consider the Trump/Elon feud to be today's biggest news on social media, and people who think it's Paige DeSorbo announcing she's leaving Summer House

A website called delawarebusinesslitigation.com has popped up, set up like a law firm's website. Across most of it, "Delaware Business Litigation" is used as a firm name, but as far as I know, that's not the name of an actual Delaware law firm.

Stellantis has a new CEO named Antonio Filosa and for those who had the same "wait, isn't that..." reaction to that news I did let me confirm it's NOT this guy

Time it takes to drive from Philly to Wilmington: 40 min Oct.-March, if skies are perfectly clear & all luck is on your side (yet somehow 60 min for me if I'm trying to get to court 20 min early) +20 min 7-10 a.m./3-6 p.m. +15 min April-Sept. (construction) +10 min if it's raining/snowing AT ALL

From yesterday: the Third Circuit mostly upheld confirmation of the Boy Scouts' Chapter 11 plan, but the decision includes some language requiring more explicit protections of insurers' rights post-Purdue Pharma www.law.com/delbizcourt/...

Some personal news: my glasses broke last week and I have not been able to get them fixed/replaced yet so if you see any typos in anything I write you should blame it on that

*Camera pans to a group of fans outside of the Vatican in pope jerseys, going nuts even though most of them haven’t heard of the pick before last week*

I trust this because nothing screams "I know about having friends" quite like quantifying the supply/demand of friendship as a commodity

putting puns in headlines is my drug of choice truly

Every anecdote about the effects of DOGE cuts reminds me of that episode of 30 Rock where Matthew Broderick's character works in a government office that got boxes of pen caps but no pens

this is not a sentence I ever thought I would need to assemble in any language, but 1958 feels like a really late year for a dead Pope to explode

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

Fixed it for you: Riding the bus helps lower the world's 🌎 greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately we're cutting 20% of our bus services, so your new gridlocked commute along I-76 will have a direct impact on speeding up climate change from Chestnut Hill to the coral reef.

It's been a few weeks since Gov. Meyer signed SB 21. So far, lawyers say their talks comparing DE, TX and NV for incorporation haven't changed.

Interestingly all of these things do apply to kids who die of measles

oh no not the Birkins

I know a lot about two things: corporate law and Bravo. I wrote about both in this column and somehow no one stopped me

News in Philly slang: In the last week I've heard at least three people use "on the parade route" (as in the route of the Super Bowl parade two months ago) as a reference point

West Philly resident here—the trolleys and bus routes that go to/from Center City are already overcrowded and unreliable, and the L isn't much better. Cutting way back on routes and cutting most services entirely after 9 p.m. is going to be a nightmarish commuting experience at best.

The Nevada legislature is considering a bill that would limit corporate housing purchases to 100 units a year. nevadacurrent.com/2025/04/10/w...

Another attempt to use AI in a pleading - this time in the Delaware Court of Chancery. This is a pro se plaintiff; I assume we'll see a lot more of this courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...
