To say you are “in Business” might be an intimidating thought. What if we replaced it with “crafter”? Or “musician”? Or “reseller”? What laws do you need to know when starting a small business? When does a hobby become a business? Our guests Professor Martin Edwards from Ole Miss and William Bettis from the firm of Butler Snow will give us some ideas.

If you’re enjoying this discussion of starting a business, Mr. Bettis was our guest on June 28th 2022.

And Professor Edwards was our guest to discuss Contracts on September 5th of 2023. I’ll have the links to those podcasts on this show’s information.

Each of our participants have been affected by a death caused by a drunk driver. We want to discourage you from drinking and driving. If you are stopped under suspicion of DUI you do have rights. Our guest attorney Francis Springer is going to tell us what those rights are. https://www.springerlawoffice.com/

If you’d like some extra information about Driving Under the Influence, check out the Mississippi Bar website and their page about driving under the influence. Like did you know if a driver is under 21, they are defined as intoxicated if their blood alcohol concentration level of 0.02?

https://www.msbar.org/for-the-public/consumer-information/driving-under-the-influence/

• A person who is over 21 and gets a DUI, if there’s anyone under 16 in the car, the driver is guilty of Child Endangerment also. I hope this hits home to anyone who considers driving after drinking.
• We’ve talked about what could happen if you’re charged after a first offense of DUI but did you know: states talk to each other. If you get a DUI in another state, Mississippi still knows about it. So don’t have a first offense then you won’t have a second.

On Thursday, February 8, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Trump vs. Anderson. Former President Trump and his attorneys are challenging a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that prevents his name from appearing on the ballot in that state.

The arguments themselves are expected to be one-hour in length. Attorneys for each side receive 30 minutes to make their case and answer questions from the Justices. We do not how exactly how long the Special Coverage will last - it depends on the precise start and end time of the court session itself, followed by analysis.
