#Lawyered

#Lawyered dives head first into the 4th Amendment and what it means for your rights when approached by law enforcement. What is a search? When do the police need a warrant? What are your rights during a traffic stop? How much does Jay-Z know about search and seizure laws? The A Team will run through examples of how the 4th Amendment applies and how it affects both the innocent and the accused.

There's nothing steamier than pages and pages of seemingly boiler-plate legalese, talking about the restrictions on you should you leave your new job. Kidding. But all kidding aside, that boring legal gobbledy-goop can be very important, as it is likely a "non-compete" within your employment agreement. Your favorite legal A-Team breaks down what to be on the lookout for the next time you're handed an agreement that includes a non-compete section. Specifically, A&A identifies what a non-compete is, what elements make up a non-compete, and when a non-compete is enforceable v. when it's not.

The 90's are having a MOMENT right now. Tapping into that childhood nostalgia, your legal A-Team discusses the big legal question arising from the tragic death of Dustin Diamond who played "Screech" on the 90's sitcom "Saved by the Bell." The big question everyone wants to know the answer to? Was he, or was he not, married to Jennifer Misner? TMZ broke the story that despite the fact that Diamond and Misner publicly proclaimed they were married, though the couple separated (but not divorced!) later on, his death certificate listed him as "NEVER MARRIED." So - what was his status? Diamond and Misner may have been common law married. Why should you care? As a possibly common law married couple, this could give rise to a whole host of issues regarding how his estate may be divided up (in some states, the wife is typically entitled to half of hubby's assets he obtained after the couple married). In this episode, A&A breaks down the statute regarding common law marriage in Texas, and how you better be careful! Because once you're common law married, there is NO common law divorce.

A literal Arctic storm slammed into Texas February 11 - 18, resulting in numerous multi-car pile-ups, “rolling” blackouts, and leaving many without water. One of the most devastating tragedies was the death of Cristian Pavonz, an eleven-year-old boy who died in his bed allegedly from hypothermia. Your legal A-Team delves into the situation, discussing the lawsuit his mother has brought against ERCOT and her electricity provider, what ERCOT is, and can ERCOT even be sued (or is it protected under sovereign immunity). Take a listen to hear A&A’s thoughts on if ERCOT can be held responsible.

Ah, Valentine's Day - the day so many people level up their relationships and propose. So with a wedding to plan, or even if you're just entering the serious stage of your dating relationship, it is time for you and your partner to discuss if a premarital agreement is right for y'all. AKA do YOU want a pre-nup? The legal A-Team dives into the world of pre-marital agreements aka pre-nups, and discusses the numerous ways they are beneficial. A&A dispel the myths surrounding pre-nups, including the mistaken belief that they're only good if you get divorced (hint, there's some creditor protection here). The pair discuss how if you and/or your future spouse are professionals, you should very seriously consider getting one as a way to protect your future wife/hubby and more.

Today, February 9, 2021, the U.S. Senate begins its impeachment trial of President Trump. Your favorite legal A-Team dives into what impeachment is, work on demystifying the confusing impeachable offense of "high crimes and misdemeanors," and explains how the actual impeachment process works. The duo discusses how an impeachment "trial" in the Senate is radically different from the types of trials you see on Law and Order or even real-life civil and criminal trials. A and A also give their different thoughts on if the trial will result in President Trump being impeached or not.

Welcome to the wild world of Personal Injury ("PI") law, where the accidents can be big, and the damages even bigger. The legal A-Team and PI attorney Paul Wingo break down what PI law is, how PI law has evolved in Texas, and the utility of PI law as being one way to keep corporations accountable. Specifically, the trio talks about the infamous McDonald's hot coffee case, and how the reality of that case differed wildly from the media's portrayal of it. Additionally, no PI law discussion in a COVID-19 world would be complete without a discussion on vaccines. Could an anti-vaxxer realistically succeed in a lawsuit against (1) the doctor administering the complained-of vaccine; or (2) the pharmaceutical company that created said vaccine? As to COVID-19 specifically, could those who allegedly suffered adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines bring suit against the vaccine developers?
