Five legal stories from FindLaw.com in five minutes. Hosted by Joe Fawbush, Sr. Writer and attorney for FindLaw.com
Celebrity can bring a lot of benefits, but it can also cause some headaches. Included in the "headache" category is public interest in personal legal problems. Here are five quick and ongoing legal stories from around the sports and entertainment world, from Stranger Things to South Park, from the NBA court to criminal courtrooms.
This episode is all about the legal and constitutional questions surrounding the federalized National Guard troops being sent to U.S. cities. The developments are coming fast. Get caught up on the ongoing lawsuits, what federal laws are in play, and why President Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act regardless of what happens in court. As always, please visit FindLaw.com to stay up-to-date on all the latest legal developments. Thanks for listening!
The First Amendment is all over the news lately, and for good reason. This episode provides a primer on free speech law in the workplace. There is also a lot going on with AI in the legal industry, and one big one is a push for deregulation from some members of Congress. For something a little closer to home, hear how to reduce or eliminate the capital gains tax on the sale of your primary residence. The episode closes with a lawsuit against Kalshi, which offers "event contracts" on sports events but claims it is not a sports betting company.

There's a lot going on in the world, but the most important is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement -- at least if you go by the internet. This episode is about their potential prenuptial agreement, a lawsuit over windowless "window seats" airlines still charge a premium for, and why the FTC agrees with you that gym memberships should be easier to cancel. On a serious note, cashless bail is under attack, and a federal appeals court recently upheld Connecticut's AR-15 ban, enacted in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting tragedy.

FindLaw's 5in5 is back with a new episode! Roblox is being sued for allowing sexual predators onto its platform, and Microsoft is facing litigation over discontinuing support for Windows 10. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, a statue outside of a courthouse is generating controversy over its inscription, which is shocking: "In appreciation of our faithful slaves." Finally, there are changes to food assistance to be aware of, and a new class action lawsuit alleges that elite schools are using early decision to keep tuition prices high. Thanks for listening!
