Description

In this episode of The Weekly Docket, hosts Phil Silberman and Austin Black discuss a new rule in Texas allowing licensed paralegal professionals to provide limited legal services—will this improve access to justice or lead to legal disasters? We also break down Elon Musk’s $3,000-per-hour attorney, Alex Spiro, and explore the risks of registering domain names that include big brand trademarks. Plus, can you sue your home inspector for missing foundation issues? And finally, we examine Trump’s claims about phantom federal employees, the staggering costs of government waste, and whether federal pay cuts could help reduce the deficit.
