McGimpsey: Digital water pivots utilities from reactive to proactive

Data has transformed how every industry does business, including utilities.

DTCI: Neglected DEA regulatory obligations that ruin pharmacies

| From DTCI

Most pharmacies’ legal and financial exposure is not with the diversion of controlled substances (e.g., stealing, selling or dispensing drugs without a legitimate medical purpose); it is instead with the tedious, prosaic record-keeping requirements that often go neglected.

Indiana takes steps to improve water sustainability

| Olivia Covington

Hoosier lawmakers, utilities and water policy lawyers in recent years have begun to look more closely at supply and demand. Legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2019, for example, ties certain funding sources to evidence of effective water study and communication.

Ask the justices how they would describe the last five years at the Indiana Supreme Court, and they’ll tell you they’ve seen some changes.

IndyBar: Support and Kindness from the Other Side — An Uplifting Family Bar

| From IndyBar

From divorce, custody, parenting time and guardianships to grandparent rights, family law can be very messy and emotionally draining. When I tell people what I do for a living, the most frequent responses are something along the lines of, “oh, I don’t think I could do that,” or “that must be very difficult.” Typically, however, my opposing counsel is not difficult, exhausting, or otherwise adding fuel to the fire.

Indiana Court of Appeals
Cheryl Barron Doll v. Steven E Post, et al.
19A-TR-715
Trust. Reverses the DeKalb Superior Court’s judgment denying Cheryl Doll’s motion to intervene based on the trial court’s interpretation of the residuary clause of Ollie Waid Jr.’s revocable living trust. Finds the language of the residuary clause does not identify a beneficiary with reasonable certainty. Remands and instructs the trial court to grant Doll’s motion to intervene and to direct trustee Steven Post to hold the reside of the trust for Waid’s estate, and instructs the court to direct Post to distribute the residue to Waid’s heirs at law pursuant to the appellate court’s intestate succession statutes.

In new court filings, the two legislative bodies say they are the entities that are legally considered the women’s employers, so they alone have the right to defend their sexual harassment prevention and response policies against the harassment allegations.
