Non-Compliant Podcast

In Non-Compliant Episode 44, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Laura Antonini and Harvey Rosenfield of #REPRESENT, a project of the Consumer Education Foundation. Laura is an attorney and the Policy Director of #REPRESENT. Harvey is the President of the Consumer Education Foundation and one of nation's foremost consumer advocates. He founded the nonprofit consumer advocacy organization Consumer Watchdog in 1985, where he presently serves as outside counsel.

To start the show, Jay, Laura, and Harvey discuss the report put out by #REPRESENT, titled Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed (11:29). According to #REPRESENT's website, Reboot Required: The Civil Justice System Has Crashed shows how business goliaths sponsored a fifty-year campaign to reprogram the nation’s civil laws and judicial procedures to favor corporations and the elites .

Later in the show, Laura, Jay, and Harvey discuss reforming class actions, and eliminating abuses to the system (19:44).

Following a discussion on objectors and low claims rates, Harvey asks Jay why he decided to take on Tom Girardi. Jay's response? "This is going to sound glib: he stole money from widows and orphans" (37:00).

To end the show, the group discusses attorney's fees (51:00). While Jay agrees with the issues Laura and Harvey are seeing, he does not agree with their idea of using straight lodestar (multiplying the number of hours reasonably spent by the attorney on the litigation by a reasonable hourly rate) to determine fees (54:00).

In Non-Compliant Episode 42, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney, and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Trevor Hughes, the CEO of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). Trevor is a leading privacy expert who routinely testifies on issues of privacy, surveillance and privacy-sensitive technologies before the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the British Parliament.

To start the show, Jay and Trevor discuss the beginnings of their careers, and the privacy legal landscape in the early 2000s (4:35).

Next, Jay and Trevor discuss pivotal moments for privacy in the last twenty years (20:00). For Jay, a major paradigm shift was the Edward Snowden leaks. After Snowden leaked classified information to the world, courts started viewing privacy different, and were much more receptive to privacy concerns. For Trevor, one of the first crucial moments was in 2003, when California SB1386 passed.

To end the show, Trevor and Jay gives their predictions on what the next five years look like for privacy (36:14).

While Jay refers to Michael as the “Riddler to [his] Batman”, the world knows him as a seven time Law360 MVP.

To start the show, Jay and Michael discuss being on opposite sides of the v, and the privacy “ecosystem” (5:00).

Next, Jay and Michael give listeners insight into their relationship. Because of their history, before filing a number of class actions against Michale’s clients, Jay has brought the evidence to Michael first, in order to give him the opportunity to try and convince the firm not to bring the suit (11:00).

To end the show, Jay and Michael talk about the current privacy landscape (17:00).

In Non-Compliant Episode 40, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney, and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by David Lat, Founder of Above the Law, and more recently, Original Jurisdiction.

To start the show, Jay and David discuss the evolution of David’s legal career. After attending Harvard College and graduating from Yale Law School, David clerked for a federal appellate judge, spent time in Big Law as an Associate, and worked as a federal prosecutor in New Jersey. While working as a prosecutor, David started “Underneath Their Robes”, an anonymous humor and gossip site focused on federal judges, under the pseudonym, Article III Groupie (4:30).

Next, Jay and David discuss the formation of Above the Law, and the unprecedented impact it has had on the legal field (6:33).

Later in the show, Jay and David talk about David’s experience with COVID-19, and his decision to live tweet his experience, which included three weeks in the hospital, and one week on a ventilator (16:30).

To close the show, the two podcast hosts discuss David’s current projects— including Original Jurisdiction, a substack newsletter, which Lat describes as “a source of incisive, fair-minded, and occasionally entertaining commentary about law and the legal profession”, and Movers, Shakers, and Rainmakers, a new podcast, hosted by David and Lateral Link Senior Recruiter, Zach Sandberg, focused on the BigLaw lateral market.

In the second season of the hit podcast, Rebecca and her team at ABC News cover the trial of the decade for Silicon Valley in real time.

In Non-Compliant Episode 38, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Summer Eberhard, a Managing Director in Major, Lindsey & Africa’s Associate Practice Group, and Kelsey McCann, Edelson PC’s Chief of Staff and Director of Recruiting.

To start the show, Jay, Summer, and Kelsey discuss the recent shift in legal recruitment. While BigLaw was once the clear choice for law students and laterals, candidates are considering more than Vault rankings when applying to jobs. Instead of wanting to know about a firm's pro bono practice, candidates are talking to employers about how they reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic (8:30), their views on flexible work arrangements (13:45), and what diversity initiatives they have in place (20:42).

Later in the show, Summer and Kelsey give listeners advice for navigating the legal job market, including what questions to ask potential employers (35:31).

In Non-Compliant Episode 37, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Elie Honing, CNN Senior Legal Analyst, former federal and state prosecutor, and bestselling author of Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr Broke the Prosecutor's Code and Corrupted the Justice Department.

Jay and Elie discuss the colossal mess Bill Barr made in undermining the justice system. Barr, the 77th and 85th United States attorney general under George H. W. Bush and Donald Trump, allowed politics to play a role in individual prosecutions. According to Elie, Barr was a political animal first (which is why he crossed so many lines) and viewed himself as Trump’s personal lawyer— using the DOJ to go after Trump’s political enemies (or perceived political enemies), protecting Trump’s political cronies, etc.

Later in the show, Jay and Elie discuss Barr’s confirmation process, and where the Justice Department is now. According to Elie, there was a palpable sigh of relief with Bill Barr left office, and the Trump administration moved on. Elie and Jay then pivot to Merrick Garland, and his first few months as the 86th United States attorney general.

In Non-Compliant Episode 36, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by Tim Higgins, author of Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century.

To start the show, Jay and Tim discuss Tim’s experience writing the book. When Tim started writing this story in 2018, he thought it would document the collapse of Tesla (2:00). At the time, Tesla was on the brink of bankruptcy, Elon Musk was having regular meltdowns in public, and there was a lot of question on whether the company could deliver the Model 3. As time passed, the story changed from the company’s collapse, to one of the most remarkable turnarounds in a company’s history.

Later in the show, Jay and Tim discuss the connection between Tesla and Theranos (5:00). While both companies had founders running confidence games, unlike Elizabeth Holmes, Elon Musk had the technology early on to make the car battery work.

Next, Jay and Tim discuss the fan base and loyalty Tesla has gained over the years (24:00), and the company’s core philosophy (31:00).

To end the show, Tim and Jay discuss Elon Musk’s major motivations (35:00).

In Non-Compliant Episode 35, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, is joined by J. Eli Wade-Scott, former Skadden Fellow at Legal Aid Chicago and law clerk to the Honorable Rebecca Pallmeyer of the Northern District of Illinois, and current Partner at Edelson PC.

Jay and Eli discuss former President Trump’s lawsuits against Twitter, Google and Facebook for banning him from the platforms in (supposed) violation of the First Amendment, each filed as a proposed class action case with Trump as the lead plaintiff (5:15). Jay shares his views about the true purpose of the suits, and they both analyze Courts’ willingness to sanction the former President and his lawyers for filing yet more frivolous cases. (21:30).

Next, Jay and Eli open a window into how the firm works through case strategy and discuss how they’d approach Trump’s suit if they were defending the platforms (28:00). Finally, they ponder what it means for Big Tech to be able to boot people out of the digital public square.
