Show notes

Nation leaders at the G7 summit in Cornwall, England discussed the possibility of mandating certain “climate disclosures” on the financial reports of their nation's corporations.

Lunch Hour Legal Marketing : You Down With CPCs? Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

In the news, market consolidation continues with Litify’s purchase of LegalStratus. And the guys discuss Ohio’s recent short-sighted decision to roll back lawyer advertising by banning competitive brand bidding.

Gyi and Conrad have more schooling to do when it comes to lawyer ad regulation. But first, the two create a glossary of online ad payment types: CPC, CPM, CPL, and CPA. Listen carefully. There may be a quiz down the line.

In a new segment, “Dear State Bar Regulator,” Gyi appeals to bar regulators in Texas, Florida, and South Carolina to revisit rules that put lawyers at a competitive disadvantage in modern law practice.

Gyi and Conrad invite reviews of #LHLM, even from bar leaders who may never again invite them to speak at a conference.

Lawyer 2 Lawyer : Rights of Nature & the Law Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

The Declaration of Independence famously states "that all men…are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”. But do those or similar unalienable rights extend beyond people? According to groups like the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, our ecosystem - the trees, oceans, animals and mountains - are entitled to rights of their own.

So was the Declaration of Independence too limited in its language? Does nature have its own “self-evident” rights? On Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Craig Williams is joined by Lindsey Schromen-Wawrin, an attorney at Shearwater Law PLLC, to discuss what rights we have to access nature, whether there is a requirement for the government to preserve nature for us, and if we have any legal rights to force the preservation of other species.
