Justices seem to lean toward deaf student in education case
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seemed sympathetic this week to the arguments of a deaf student who sued his public school system for providing an inadequate education.
It’s a legal challenge that’s important for other disabled students and their families.
The question before the justices during the arguments Wednesday involved a federal law that guarantees disabled students an education that’s specific to their needs.
Liberal and conservative justices suggested they were inclined to rule for the student, Miguel Luna Perez.
His lawyer said that for 12 years, the public school system in Sturgis, Michigan “neglected Miguel, denied him an education and lied to his parents about the progress he was allegedly making in school.”
MIPLA program discusses new threats to trade secrets
The Michigan Intellectual Property Law Association (MIPLA) will host a virtual event on Tuesday, Jan. 24, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. via Zoom.
Speaker Maxwell Goss will discuss “Trade Secrets, Non-Competes, and the Evolving Workplace.”
Remote work, greater employee mobility, and digitization are transforming the workplace — and presenting new threats to trade secrets.
This presentation discusses the promise and perils of non-compete agreements to combat trade secret misappropriation in the evolving workplace.
Particular attention is given to the growing scrutiny and regulation of non-competes, including the Uniform Restrictive Employment Agreement Act, President Biden’s executive order regarding non-competes, and the recent flurry of state-level non-compete legislation.
