Interviewed on KTUU-2, Anchorage

» by Ted Frank

Anchorage is beautiful this time of year, but, alas, my interview discussing the Exxon Shipping v. Baker case was over the phone. Not sure when they’ll run the clip, but probably tonight, since the decision has a good chance of being issued tomorrow.

Update: Here’s the story.

WAMU Kojo Nnamdi show

I’m scheduled to be one of the guests on the popular Washington, D.C. public radio show today, during the 12 to 1 p.m. segment. We’ll be discussing BlackBerry legal issues, in particular, the degree to which employers are at risk of big retroactive wage-hour suits if they issue the communications devices to workers and then require (or even permit) them to use the devices for work purposes outside their normal hours. Our BlackBerry posts from this website can be found here. A while back I dismissed as unlikely, in the Times (U.K.), the notion of suits over BlackBerry “addiction” (truncated version here).

On Good Morning America

» by Ted Frank

Thirteen words of a taped interview of me discussing Barack Obama’s Senate record on tort reform appeared on ABC’s Weekend Good Morning America Sunday.  Since they didn’t identify me by name, it probably won’t increase blog traffic.

I also wrote about this for Point of Law in December 2006. For more on Barack Obama, click the tag.

Welcome KTRH listeners

I was a guest on the Houston radio station this morning discussing personal responsibility and our propensity to litigate. A few recent cases possibly on point: “Inmate Sues Jail, Blames It for His Escapes“; five of her friends as well as the inevitable bar sued after college student’s fatal alcohol binge; and lawyer gambles away client money at the tables, then sues casinos for not stopping her. (Corrected original post title which got the call letters wrong).

CNN Headline News/Glenn Beck show today

I’m scheduled to join Glenn Beck today on his CNN Headline News show, on the 2:30-3:00 p.m. Eastern segment, to discuss the Lynne Stewart/Hofstra affair. P.S. Turned out it was a taping rather than live show, so air times will vary from the above.

Scheduled to be on CNN

» by Ted Frank

I’m not saying anything that any regular blog-reader doesn’t already know, and I could well be bumped if Britney Spears goes shopping, but I taped an interview about the U.S. Attorney firings scheduled to be on CNN’s 7pm (Eastern) news if you have a morbid curiosity what I look and sound like on tv when I have a cold and only four hours of sleep.

Update: Ended up on the cutting room floor, apparently. Hope no one sat through an hour of Wolf Blitzer on my account.
