Sheryl Davis is accused of steering millions of dollars to Collective Impact, a San Francisco-based nonprofit she previously ran as executive director, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.

The law passed by Israel's Knesset on Monday is worded to effectively apply only to Palestinians, entrenching what many have identified as practices amounting to apartheid.

The school knows that they have this deepfake issue, and they all of a sudden add this clause to their enrollment contracts. That to me seems a little disingenuous and unfair, and it doesn't seem like someone's apologizing.

While Sgt X had some mitigating circumstances, it's unacceptable for an officer to act in this deliberate and deceitful way by abusing the trust placed in her. The raw data shows she was not doing anything in the periods she was key-jamming.

well enough to work but not well enough to serve the public in any capacity

Criminal accountability is a non-starter between sovereign immunity and the inevitable blanket pardons Trump will issue. The Department has declared "war" on judges invoking contempt powers. And Justice already gutted its internal disciplinary resources. All that's left to deter the rampant ethical violations committed by government lawyers is for local bar licensing authorities to impose discipline.

While police chiefs say they won't enforce the state's new ban on masks for law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, California lawmakers say there's another way to penalize officers who conceal their identities. Senate Bill 627, known as the No Secret Police Act, can be enforced through the court system, creating a civil penalty for officers who violate the law, the bill's authors say.

Baby Victoria's body was found in a shopping bag in Brighton in 2023, after her parents concealed her birth and went on the run in an attempt to avoid contact with social services. Marten and Gordon, a convicted rapist, were both sentenced to 14 years for gross negligence manslaughter last year. The review, chaired by Sir David Holmes, sought to identify missed safeguarding opportunities, and to learn lessons from what the review called the "extreme case" of baby Victoria's death.

A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction Monday, Feb. 9, allowing federal immigration officials to continue wearing masks during California operations, but upheld a law requiring law enforcement to display badges identifying themselves and their agency. U.S. District Judge Christine A. Snyder in Los Angeles granted the Trump administration's request for a temporary order halting enforcement of SB 627, the No Secret Police Act, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in September amid ongoing waves of federal immigration enforcements across California.

Judges have repeatedly ruled that federal law allows the president to make only one interim appointment (lasting 120 days) as U.S. Attorney in any given federal district, after which the position may only be filled by a Senate-confirmed nominee or a judicially installed placeholder. That basic of statutory interpretation has led to the disqualification of New Jersey "U.S. Attorney" Alina Habba, Eastern District of Virginia's Lindsey Halligan (no matter what her signature line currently says), Sigal Chattah in Nevada, and Bill Essayli in Southern California.

As predicted on last week's episode, Brad Karp left the top post at Paul Weiss following the disclosure of friendly correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. But Karp wasn't the only Biglaw lawyer in the files, nor were his conversations the most troubling. A former Clifford Chance trainee drafted a sex contract with Epstein, Goldman Sachs GC Kathy Ruemmler made a joke with Epstein that normally you wouldn't make with someone who already pleaded guilty to child prostitution charges,
