(Subscription required) Even after reaching the bench, Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Myrlys Stockdale Coleman continues to reinvent herself- teaching law, studying criminal practice and selling stock photography online. 

(Subscription required) On the night before the jury selection began Tuesday in the first minors' social media addiction trial in Los Angeles, ByteDance for Tik Tok defendants settled on undisclosed terms, a plaintiffs' attorney said. It is the second settlement in the case in the past week as Snap Inc. reached an undisclosed agreement with a teen identified as K.G.M. days before a final status conference Monday.

TikTok agreed to settle a landmark social media addiction lawsuit just before the trial kicked off, the plaintiff’s attorneys confirmed. The social video platform was one of three companies — along with Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube — facing claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children. 

Div. Eight of the Court of Appeal for this district has reversed an order dismissing three causes of action against the Los Angeles Community College District for alleged employment discrimination, saying that a judge erred in declaring that there was noncompliance with the statute that generally requires presentation of a claim against a governmental entity before suing it.
