"Based on our preliminary review, it appears the stolen information includes Office of Judicial Administration files, district court case records on appeal, and other data, some of which may be confidential under law. A full review of what may have been stolen is a high priority to us but it will take time. Once this review is complete, we will notify those affected," the Kansas Supreme Court recently said in a statement.

"TNA plausibly alleged that Strang used TNA's confidential information for his personal gain in violation of the RCA and, therefore, unlawfully misappropriated TNA's confidential information. Because TNA adequately alleges that this information is subject to trade secret protection pursuant to MUTSA and DTSA, and that Strang misappropriated these trade secret assets and information by emailing them to his personal email prior to his departure, the Motion will be denied ..." U.S. District Judge Julie Rebecca Rubin wrote in her order filed this week.

"Although neither this Court nor the Supreme Court of Maryland has considered the exact issue presented here, i.e., whether the Workers' Compensation Act's exclusivity provision applies to a non-dependent, our Courts have considered whether a wrongful death plaintiff is permitted to bring a wrongful death claim when a covered employee is killed in the course of his or her employment," said Senior Judge Alexander Wright Jr., who was specially assigned to the case.

"Here, Verizon's claim, at its essence, is a contract claim. A determination of which party ultimately is responsible to pay for the relocation of Verizon's facilities turns on the interpretation of various agreements entered into by the parties, including, but not limited to, VDOT's permit allowing Verizon to locate facilities within VDOT's rights-of-way, the comprehensive agreement between CBE and VDOT, and the agreement between CBE and Lane," Justice Wesley G. Russell Jr., wrote on behalf of the court.

"JetBlue argues that because JetBlue's manual contains a § 121.709(e) authorization, the AMM [Aircraft Maintenance Manual] reference provision is inapplicable. ... JetBlue would have the court interpret § 121.709(e) as exempting JetBlue from following its own procedures. But FARs do not negate compliant rules air carriers place on themselves via their maintenance manuals.

"IFI takes issue with the fact that Howard pleads that either IFI or Nashville Quality, LLC were responsible for the accident or sabotage that resulted in glass in her food. IFI argues that '[b]ecause the allegations concede it is just as probable that the damages were caused by someone other than IFI and further fails to identify what IFI did or failed to do to cause the damages, the Complaint fails to state a plausible claim for relief.' ...
