    Social Media and Litigation: Why You Need To Be Wary of Posting Online?

    ByParnell, Michels & McKay Law Offices Hours

    It is common for most of our society to be on social media. At this point, even most of our grandparents have a Facebook page. While this is a great way to connect to people online, it also presents potential problems for those of us engaged in potential or ongoing litigation. As many people like to say, beware of what you post on social media! This is good general advice, but also good legal advice. Social media requests have become commonplace in litigation discovery requests, and courts are not as reluctant to order that information released.The most common requests are for Facebook posts. While most Courts will not allow complete access to a Facebook page of a party, they will look into specific posts related…

  • Fantasy Sports: Legal or Illegal Sports Gambling

    ByParnell, Michels & McKay Law Offices Hours

    Fantasy Football is gearing up, and we are on the eve of many drafts and leagues forming for the new season. As attorneys, we often get asked about the legality of sports gambling and in particular, fantasy sports. As some of you are aware, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a gambling ban from 1992 called the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Thus, sports gambling is no longer illegal under federal law. However, each state can have laws that restrict or forbids gambling within their state borders. As for fantasy sports, that has been dealt with separately.As of May 16 of this year, fourteen (14) states have specifically allowed fantasy sports, and daily fantasy sports to exist (SEE: https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/14799449/daily-fantasy-dfs-legal-your-state-state-state-look).

    Why I Check the Box to Donate to Pro Bono

    ByParnell, Michels & McKay Law Offices Hours

    This past year I have begun a new adventure as something I never thought I would be: a father. As I listen to my now one-year-old daughter stumble through words like “What’s that!?” and “Mama” and “Dada”, I think a lot about her future and my own. I feel responsible for who she becomes and worry constantly about her. I certainly worry too much, but I care a lot about the world she grows up in, and the lessons I teach her as she grows. It’s important to me that my child is someone who helps others. I was raised that way by my parents, and I pray I can do the same for her. As one of my favorite quotes from Abraham Lincoln (and…

  • The NH Constitution Versus Federal Immigration Law: A Case Study In Woodstock, NH

    By Hours

    As some of you may remember, a border patrol checkpoint in Woodstock, NH resulted in multiple drug arrests of various individuals with small amounts of marijuana. Some of the Defendants challenged these arrests on constitutional law grounds. In a lengthy order, Judge Thomas Rappa of the New Hampshire Circuit Court has politely, but strongly reaffirmed, that where New Hampshire provides greater protections then do federal procedures, the New Hampshire procedures must be adhered to in any search and if they are not, there will be consequences to the prosecution.  At issue were a series of arrests at a motor vehicle border patrol stop in the Town of Woodstock on Route 93 in August of 2017. United States Customs and Border Patrol agents were working the…
