Federal Judge Ends Criminal Case Against New York City Mayor Eric Adams
United States of America v. Eric Adams, 24 -CR-556 (DEH).
FROM THE OPINION:
Dale E. Ho, United States District Judge.
Tariffs as an Emergency Power?
From VERDICT, Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia, 27 March 2025.
SUMMARY:
NYU Law Professor Samuel Estreicher and JD candidate Andrew Babbitt analyze President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) during his second administration to impose and threaten tariffs on several countries. They highlight how this approach bypasses the usual legislative and procedural processes required for implementing tariffs. According to Estreicher and Babbitt, this tactic marks an unprecedented and legally questionable expansion of executive authority—one that sidesteps congressional intent and oversight and raises significant constitutional concerns about the broad, unchecked use of the IEEPA.

CBO: Projections of Deficits and Debt Under Alternative Scenarios for the Budget and Interest Rates
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO)* analyzed the effects of alternative budget scenarios in which provisions of the 2017 tax act were extended and the average interest rate on federal debt increased.
Summary:
This letter responds to a request for an analysis of projected deficits and debt under alternative scenarios for the budget and interest rates. Specifically, Congressman Schweikert asked how CBO’s baseline projections of deficits and debt—which reflect the scheduled expiration of certain provisions of the 2017 tax act (Public Law 115-97) under current law—would change if all provisions of that act were extended permanently. Congressman Schweikert also asked how the projections would change further if interest rates were higher than expected.

Entropy, Complexity and the Dynamics of Change: Legal Systems, Libraries, Artificial Intelligence, Business and Economics, Quantum Computing, and Living Systems
Since writing and publishing my 1982 article, An Examination of the Dynamics of Change in Information Technology as Viewed From Libraries and Information Centers, 75 Law Library J. 198 (1982). I have learned a great deal—so much, in fact, that a completely new article is necessary. What I have come to understand more deeply is the universality of change—how it shapes everything within us and around us. This realization has transformed my perspective, and I believe it is important to share these new insights. I hope you find this fresh perspective both valuable and thought-provoking, and that it inspires you to share it with others. David Badertscher
INTRODUCTION
Change is the driving force behind everything—from the expansion of the universe to the evolution of life and the rise and fall of civilizations. It fuels both entropy, which pushes systems toward disorder, and evolution, which shapes complexity and adaptation. But is change simply a consequence of these forces, or is it the deeper, underlying principle guiding all transformation?
