Law Professor Mark Bauer interviewed by The Penny Hoarder on protecting your finances
Getting a roommate? Here are 4 ways to protect your finances

Excerpt
Putting as much as you can in writing before you move in together will help you both understand the expectations and help preserve the relationship, according to Mark Bauer, a professor at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, Florida.
“A lot of people think that having a formal agreement, particularly if the person is a friend, is off-putting,” he said. “But a friendly agreement spelling out responsibilities in advance is something that people who trust each other do.”
And he was later quoted in the article:
“It doesn’t matter that you’ve been faithfully putting in your 50% every month including when the other person didn’t,” Bauer said. “As far as the landlord is concerned, you were jointly liable.”

Law Professor Julia Metts quoted on Law360 on House lawyer’s impeachment hearing questioning skills
House Panel’s Kramer Levin Hire Brings Heat To Trump Probe

Excerpt
And although [Barry] Berke brought his skill as a trial lawyer to the [Corey] Lewandowski hearing, he lacked one thing: a judge to keep things fair, experts said. Bernstein of UCLA noted that Lewandowski’s habit of “making objections and sustaining his own objections” to Berke’s questions probably wouldn’t have been allowed under a judge and ended up putting more obstacles in Berke’s path than might have been.
Despite this, Berke seemed able to draw out some productive answers from the evasive Lewandowski.
Julia Metts, who heads trial advocacy education at the Stetson University College of Law, said Berke’s emotional discipline was notable. He was never sidetracked by Lewandowski’s remarks that seemed intended as provocations, nor by his outright refusals to answer certain questions, she said.
If it had been a member of Congress doing the questioning, “They would have spent 10 minutes of their time fighting about whether he had to answer it,” Metts said. When Lewandowski refuses to discuss a conversation with Trump, Berke “just says ‘OK’” and then brings up Lewandowski’s statements about that very conversation from his own book, Metts said.
