Donald Trump walked out of the courtroom today as a lawyer for the writer E. Jean Carroll offered her closing argument in a defamation case. “We all have to follow the law,” Roberta Kaplan said. “Donald Trump, however, acts as if these rules and laws just don’t apply to him.” A seven-man, two-woman jury in federal court in Manhattan is expected to begin deliberations later on Friday, the civil trial’s fifth day.
Yesterday, Trump said “100% yes” when his lawyer asked whether his comments in an October 2022 deposition calling Carroll’s sexual abuse claims false were accurate. Last May, another jury ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million over a similar denial in October 2022. The current jury is hearing evidence to determine how much Trump should pay Carroll for defaming her in June 2019.

The World Court ordered Israel on Friday to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians and do more to help civilians, although it stopped short of ordering a ceasefire as requested by the plaintiff South Africa. Here are key takeaways from the decision.
While the ruling denied Palestinian hopes of a binding order to halt the war in Gaza, it also represented a legal setback for Israel, which had hoped to throw out a case brought under the genocide convention established in the ashes of the Holocaust.

Since the onset of mass arbitration, targeted corporations have complained in case after case that plaintiffs lawyers don’t adequately screen their clients before filing demands for arbitration. It’s increasingly easy, after all, to sign up clients through internet advertising. And for plaintiffs lawyers waging mass arbitration campaigns, volume is leverage. But printer company Epson has taken that de rigueur carping to a whole new level: Last March, the company sued nearly 4,000 clients of Labaton Sucharow after they demanded arbitration. With a threshold issue in the case now teed up for a decision, Alison Frankel reports on Epson’s bold tactic.
