Opinion | Vail Law: The law of drones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Until the last decade or so, drones were largely unheard of. Now, they are ubiquitous. From battle drones in Ukraine and the Gulf, to a yet another recent near-miss with a passenger aircraft near Newark, to the spectacular 9-11 light display above Manhattan, drones have become nearly as familiar as the common cold. And, with ubiquity, of course come laws. Preeminent are federal regulations, Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) enforcement actions, state laws and regulations, UAS applications
Opinion | Robbins: The fullness of witness testimony (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During the reign of COVID-19, I had a jury trial. For those of you not in the know, not all trials are before a jury; some, usually referred to as “bench” trials, are presented solely to the judge.

Read excerpt
I was recently chatting with a friend, an elected governmental official. Our conversation quickly flew to Flock, the speed enforcement cameras that, here and elsewhere, have stirred up a debate. I asked if he has been flocked to death. He said, “I am elected by the people and they clearly do not want them.” My friend and our conversation expanded more generally to privacy. He offered that, like Flock or not, when one is motoring along a public street, there is not a reasonable expectation of pri
Opinion | Robbins: Lawyers prefer lawyers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although before my time, if you are of a certain age, you may recall the musical comedy, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. It was actually quite the opposite of what the title suggests. Instead, it is a cheeky social satire about gender and class â perhaps before its time â that doubles as a celebration of female ingenuity and solidarity, all glammed up. Still, in today’s world, the very concept â to say nothing of the title â seems misogynistic and weird. Alth
