What my law students have taught me about America
Each fall, a new group of students arrives at my law school, filled with excitement, ambition and intelligence. When I first became a law professor, I thought the challenge lay in ensuring students learned as much as possible across many areas of law. Indeed, much of teaching first-year law students is opening a proverbial window and shooing out “A Few Good Men,” “Legally Blonde” and “My Cousin Vinny” (even though I admit to loving all three). One of the hardest lessons for students to grasp is that good lawyers don’t succeed by fixating on what the opposing side is wrong about. These were students who had grown up in a world of highly partisan news, increasing political extremism and zero-sum political activism.

Trump secures White House comeback victory, defeating Harris
Major stock markets around the world rallied following Trump's victory, and the dollar was set for its biggest one-day jump since 2020. Hispanics, traditionally Democratic voters, and lower-income households hit hardest by inflation helped fuel Trump's election victory. Trump's victory came as a relief for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has clashed with the Biden administration over the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon and on Wednesday called Trump's win "history's greatest comeback". HARRIS FALLS SHORTVice President Harris fell short in her 15-week sprint as a candidate, failing to galvanize enough support to defeat Trump, who occupied the White House from 2017-21, or to allay voters' concerns about the economy and immigration. Despite legal woes and controversies, Trump is only the second former president to win a second term after leaving the White House.

ARCADIAN COLUMN: Taking the backroads to visit a place called yesterday
In my youth, way back in the previous millennium, our version of a vacation was driving for miles and miles to the home of relatives and staying a few days. That meant one bathroom for anywhere from eight to 15 people, sleeping on pallets, and endless cousin time. It took a lot longer to get someplace, having to pass through countless little towns and even more stoplights. That meant everybody’s hair was flying all over the place, and no wonder my daddy kept his cut short and I wore a hat all the time. We listened to the AM radio to what my daddy called “hillbilly music,” which was basically country tunes from the 1950s and 60s.

The officials describe her as a ‘close companion’ of former law minister Anisul HuqThe Criminal Investigation Department, or CID, has launched an investigation into former Citizens Bank chair Towfika Karim over alleged foreign money laundering, identifying her as a "close associate" of former law minister Anisul Huq. Towfika is said to have assumed the role of chair at Citizens Bank after Anisul’s mother Jahanara Huq, passed away. The CID report alleges that Towfika, using Anisul’s illicit funds, acquired properties as "second homes" in Canada, Dubai, and Malaysia. CID sources suggest Towfika may have fled to Canada on Jul 26, just before the Awami League administration’s Aug 5 ouster.

Trump Is Elected 47th President
Former President Donald Trump has officially secured the presidency, hitting the magic number of 270 electoral votes early Wednesday morning. Trump made gains early Wednesday morning when he won Georgia’s 16 electoral votes. The state flipped after President Joe Biden won by a margin of just under 12,000 votes in 2020. This follows extensive campaigning by both parties in Georgia over the weekend, with events held by Trump in Middle Georgia and Harris in Atlanta. The Associated Press called the race at 5:36 a.m. after projecting Trump as the winner of Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, pushing him over the edge to 277 votes.

Asking Eric: She's gone berserk with the TikToks and the prayers
Dear Eric: My husband doesn’t live in the country in which he was born. Unfortunately, the wife uses the app to send every TikTok video she finds interesting, and every prayer printed on her links. I’m a Christian and love the Lord, but I don’t need 12 messages a day about anything from anyone. It’s hard to take offense when someone says they simply don’t have the bandwidth (mental or technological) for every online find. Dear Eric: My 35-year-old brother “Jeff” lives in another state and has been dating and living with his 25-year-old girlfriend for five years.
