A recent decision from the Colorado Court of Appeals regarding Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) seems rather obvious – perhaps that’s why the decision was not published. What is a SAR? With a Stock Appreciation Right, a company can pay employees with a bonus linked to the price of the company’s…
Just last year, we wrote a blog post on bogus lawyer vanity awards – you know, the meaningless awards which have prestigious-sounding names, such as “Top 10” or “Distinguished Lawyers”, but no actual criteria for selection other than a lawyer willing to pay hundreds of dollars to use their logo?…
The Colorado Court of Appeals last week issued a new ruling on the interplay between imputation of income and voluntary unemployment which will make bringing contempt cases for non-support more complicated. (Note that this particular case involved voluntary underemployment, not voluntary unemployment, but the analysis is the same either way)….

It seems like the trends are most assuredly against unvaccinated citizens in our courts. Employer-related Covid-19 vaccine mandates are increasingly being upheld by the courts, and thus far, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to intervene. History of Pro-Covid-19 Vaccine Decisions Unsurprisingly, the family law bench has similarly been hostile…
Covid-19 has certainly resulted in major changes to our society – not just over a half million deaths, but with social distancing, companies, schools and even courts doing business remotely, and by creating divisions over what measures may be appropriate. And now, you can add a potential problem for an…
