One of the items that I hear and read about, is the rising use of AI tools for screening and hiring.
There’s a big hole right now in regulation of this practice, with just
A new case officially released today by the Connecticut Appellate Court Begley v. State, won’t revolutionize employment law, but it’s a useful reminder of how retaliation claims can fall apart when the factual foundation crumbles.

I picked up a pickleball paddle six months ago, and like everyone else, I’m completely hooked.
The rules of pickleball seemed simple enough—don’t hit the ball in the kitchen (or “no volley zone”), let it bounce twice, and, yes, try not to embarrass yourself.
