Military Court Proceedings and Jurisdiction
In Washington D.C., military court proceedings handle violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) committed by service members or individuals subject to military jurisdiction. The process involves investigation, prosecution, trial, and possible appeal, with procedures tailored to military operations while ensuring due process rights are protected for the accused.

How Does an Antitrust Attorney Navigate Itar and Ear Compliance in NYC?
ITAR and EAR violations can trigger antitrust liability. NYC antitrust attorney explains key compliance strategies for defense and export firms. An antitrust attorney who understands both export control and competition law will tell you directly: ITAR and EAR compliance does not exist in isolation. Misclassification, unlicensed exports, and inadequate deemed export controls often trigger antitrust exposure that companies never see coming. In my experience advising defense contractors and dual-use technology exporters, a single compliance gap can simultaneously attract DOJ scrutiny under the Sherman Act and enforcement action from the State or Commerce Department. If your company operates in these sectors, consulting an antitrust attorney before enforcement contact is not just advisable; it is essential.

Product Liability Law and Legal Theories in New York
Three theories reach the same product, and they expire at different times. Strict liability asks about the product. The plaintiff need not show the manufacturer was careless — only that the product was not reasonably safe and that the defect caused the injury. Negligence asks about the conduct: whether reasonable care was used in design, manufacture, or inspection. In design cases the two analyses largely converge. Breach of warranty is contract law, which changes both what is recoverable and when. It reaches purely economic loss that tort claims do not, and it runs four years from delivery under the UCC — not from when the defect appeared. A claim time-barred in tort may survive in warranty, and the reverse happens just as often. Damage to the product itself is not a tort claim. Where a product fails and injures only itself, New York confines the claim to contract and warranty. The distinction between a product that breaks and a product that breaks something else determines which theories are available at all. Liability runs down the chain. Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers are each subject to strict liability — which matters when the manufacturer is offshore or insolvent, and which is why indemnity arrangements among them become a second dispute inside the first.
