We are pondering the question of whether the Foundation Lectures should continue to be online only, or whether we should move to a hybrid format with the lectures held in person at CIPA headquarters in London and simultaneously available online via Zoom. A hybrid format would start from the lecture on February 14th. Please let us know what you think by taking one minute of your day to fill in the poll below. If you have questions, or a poll answer that is more complicated than can readily be expressed by clicking a button, get in touch with our Foundation Lectures Co-ordinator Elliot Krishek.

That being said, I would like to invite you all to play JUNKYARD CRAZY GOLF on TUESDAY 8th FEBRUARY at 7:30pm.

Help for 1Ls: Rebounding From First-Semester Law School Grades
best siteWhy every aspiring construction lawyer should join the ABA’s Forum on Construction Law
As discussed in “5 Questions to Ask Before Becoming a Construction Lawyer,” construction law is the practice of law dealing with design and construction-related issues on public and private projects, ranging from homes to skyscrapers, railroads to airports, and everything in between. Despite the complexity of the industry, the legal practice, somewhat surprisingly, builds upon basic principles that we learn in law school: contracts, property, torts, and administrative law. Using those skills, construction lawyers generally carry out a cradle-to-grave practice that includes advising clients from project inception (with contract negotiation) through the building stages (project counseling) and project closeout (which often involves dispute resolution processes). The practice gives construction lawyers the unique opportunity to develop transactional and litigation skills, likely because the construction process has created unique customs, practices, and even vocabulary, leading courts and legislatures to develop legal principles consistent with the industry’s realities.
The uniqueness of construction law further bolsters the importance of camaraderie amongst the industry lawyers, and the ABA’s Forum on Construction Law is the perfect vehicle for that.
What is the Forum on Construction Law?
We’re glad you asked! The ABA’s Forum on Construction Law (the Forum) is the largest organization of construction lawyers in the United States and abroad. More than 6,000 members come from all practice settings: large firms, small firms, solo practitioners, government lawyers, and corporate in-house counsel. Members represent all segments of the construction industry: owners, design professionals, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, suppliers, insurers, and sureties. The Forum’s mission is to serve the construction industry through education and leadership, with the motto “Building the Best Construction Lawyers!” The Forum sponsors several seminars each year on different topics and publishes a scholarly journal on construction law topics four times each year, a newsletter three times each year, and several treatises on construction law topics.
Sounds really cool, but do I have to be a construction lawyer?
No. Law students are provided with a free membership to the Forum and heavily discounted registration fees to annual meetings and the like. And if you’re wondering if you need to have any experience in construction, the answer is also no. While many construction lawyers have experience in the field as engineers or majored in construction-related topics in undergrad, such knowledge is by no means a prerequisite to entry. Most construction lawyers were placed on a case and stuck with it.
Ok, I’m in. How can I get involved in the Forum?
There are many fun and easy ways to start getting involved in the Forum. For example, all law students are welcome to attend Forum meetings. This year, the Fall Meeting was in Seattle. We had the privilege of networking with accomplished industry professionals and the Forum leadership atop the Columbia Center—of all places—which overlooks Seattle’s breathtaking cityscape. Attendees gained unparalleled insight into the secrets to success as construction lawyers and had the opportunity to develop enduring relationships. Tyler says it best: “most importantly, at the Seattle meeting I discovered that the Forum is ‘my people’ . . . and that construction law is my future.”
Indeed, experiences with the Forum often ignite true passions for the practice of construction law. For example, we both regularly write about and coordinate events on construction issues. For example, in just a few weeks, the law review at Tyler’s law school will host a “Construction Law Symposium,” at which many of the Forum leaders who attended the Seattle meeting will be both panelists and attendees. The Forum is home to many law students like us, and we are excited to welcome more law students. Here are some of the best ways to start getting involved:
Get Published.
You can write an article for Division 1’s The Dispute Resolver. Reach out to someone on the Editorial Board (Catherine Delorey at cdelorey@grsm.com or Lexie Pereira at pereirle@bc.edu) and share your ideas for an article. If you can’t think of a topic, we’ll be happy to brainstorm with you—just reach out! For inspiration, you can check out a recent post on The Interplay of Arbitration Agreements and Flow-Down Provisions called Flow-Down Showdown.
Join a Division.
Divisions, or smaller groups of the Forum specializing in different construction areas, are the lifeblood of the Forum and a great way to get involved. We suggest joining the monthly calls as a first step. Learn about the Forum’s 14 Divisions, and contact the listed chair to get involved—Tyler and Lexie are both members of the YLD group. Additionally, Tyler is a member of D13—Government Contracts and Lexie is a member of D1—Litigation and Dispute Resolution.
Enter the Annual Law Student Writing Competition.
To enter, you need to write an article or essay on any topical issue of interest to the construction industry. It can even be a paper you have already submitted for academic credit. Your entry can be as long as a law review article or as short as a thousand words. The submission deadline is typically mid-July each year. Details will be released on the Forum’s webpage once the competition goes live. Tyler won the competition in 2021, despite having little to no experience with construction law beforehand—reach out to him (tylmlaka@gmail.com) for advice!
Connect with Fellow Law Students.
ABA Communities is a place to network and a way to gain exclusive member access to the ABA Member Directory.
Attend a Meeting.
The Forum on Construction Law holds events a few times a year, and regularly presents virtual programs as well. Check out the slate of upcoming meetings and programs, as well as some other important dates on the ABA Forum on Construction Law website.
Construction law is both an exciting and challenging practice of law, which makes it all the more important to stay connected with others who have a similar interest—and the Forum is a great place to start! Reach out with any questions.

What Doesn’t Kill Section 230 Makes it Stronger
By: Marissa Train Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the federal law providing social media platforms with immunity from liability for user generated content, has recently faced objections from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Both parties’ issues stem with the law largely stem from the protection it offers under 230(c), which gives platforms leeway to maintain their own content moderation policies. Democrats largely view those policies as too permissive, causing misinformation to run wild, while Republicans often view the same policies as too restrictive, ‘censoring’ conservative speakers and content. While many federal proposals to change Section 230 have been introduced, only FOSTA-SESTA, an attempt to stop online sex trafficking, became law. Instead, most of the legislative action has been at the state level, particularly in conservative states. Florida Goes First In May 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill…

NFTs: Coming Soon to a Patent Portfolio Near You?
Photo by Sharefaith on Pexels.comBy: Hannah Avery At this point the craze surrounding NFTs is far from breaking news. NFTs (“non-fungible tokens”) have been created for everything from the “Disaster Girl” meme to the world’s first tweet. They have been the subject of numerous articles, publications, and blogs, including this blog by the Washington Journal of Law, Technology, and the Arts’ Associate Editor-in-Chief Joanna Mirsch, discussing video game-related NFTs. Despite NFTs’ widespread popularity, early “NFT craze” trends seemed at odds with established American intellectual property rights, with many works being minted as NFTs without the consent of the original creator. At the very least, ownership of NFTs was widely regarded as independent of ownership of the underlying intellectual property rights. But… what if they weren’t? While the sale of an NFT by itself does not automatically confer the…

Getting an electrical certificate is an important part of being a landlord or if you are selling your home. To schedule an inspection, approach a well-known and recommended gas and electrical certificates engineer. An electric underfloor heating system is one of the best and the most economical ways to heat the rooms in a house. Other heating systems consume lots of electricity or need excessive remodeling and efforts to set up before they can be operated. The underfloor heating cost is quite competitive as compared to the other systems, so it won’t break your bank. These systems are best for all those who live in the colder regions and find other heating methods cumbersome. All those who are still using the traditional heating methods like fireplaces often report breathing troubles, lung and eye problems due to smoke and cinders. They are also not eco-friendly solutions as they involve cutting of trees.
All electrical installations will deteriorate over time, but we often overlook this fact because the wiring is hidden away inside the walls and ceilings and under flooring, so we never see it. The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” very definitely applies in this case. How fast it deteriorates will depend on the amount of use it gets, the working environment, and the maintenance schedule, if any.
In order to ensure the safety of employees and customers, the electrical installation should be inspected at appropriate intervals as part of a preventive maintenance programme. Not only does this prove that your premises are compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, but it also resolves any issues with insurance if there should a fire or any other electrical issue, because the inspector will have issued you with an EICR certificate – an Electrical Installation Condition Report – which shows that everything was in order.
Indeed, more and more commercial insurance companies are insisting that testing is carried out on a regular basis. If there should be a fire or other accident involving electricity and you are found to be at fault you will be deemed to have committed a criminal offence, and insurers will not pay any compensation or fines resulting.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state: “As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger”.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 require an employer to ensure the safety of equipment used, whether fixed or portable, that requires the use of electrical energy. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires the employer to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the workplace, and that includes customers, visitors, any contractors, or the general public. Finally, the Management of Health and Safety Work Regulations 1999 require an employer to carry out risk assessments to ensure the lowest level of danger for employees and “ensure the safety of the workplace as far as is possible.” So you can see that there are quite a number of laws covering safety and security.
As far as an EICR certificate is concerned, the electrical industry has come up with some guidelines that say that industrial premises should have the wiring checked every three years, other commercial premises every five, and domestic premises every ten years. Additionally, an inspection should be carried out every time the occupancy of premises changes.
There are, however, reasons why an EICR should be carried out more frequently, one of these being the age of the installation. Older installations should be checked more often. Environmental conditions may also have an effect. If the property has a swimming pool an EICR should be carried out yearly, but only in regard to the parts relating to the pool. If vandalism has occurred, an EICR should be carried out, and also if a homeowner has any concerns about the electrical installation.
Furthermore, an EICR will show up any situation that may deteriorate and result in considerably more expense later than if any alterations are carried out straight away.

best siteBalancing Labor Law and Client Confidentiality in the Social Media Age
By: Kimberly Shely It is common knowledge that lawyers have a professional duty to reasonably ensure their employees abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPCs). This ethical duty includes training their employees on how to maintain client confidences. Lawyers need to address proper social media etiquette with their nonlawyer employees to ensure that they understand that “confidential client information” cannot be discussed or shared on their personal social media platforms. However, lawyers must balance these ethical obligations with employees’ legal rights under labor laws. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) provides employees protection in engaging in concerted activity to better their working environment, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has extended this to include social media posts. Lawyers can balance protecting client confidences with their employees’ rights under the NLRA. Lawyer’s Duties Under the ABA…

When you choose to let out your home, there are various things that you have to do before it is suitable to let out. These include getting the home in a good condition, working out how you will accept rent and there are also various certificates that you will need for legal reasons. It is not just as simple as finding tenants, moving them in and collecting the rent. Not so good news on another electrical price hike from the power provider upsets a number of people like myself. Are you too? If you are, then you must be interested to read this report on how you can generate inexpensive electricity out of a homemade magnetic electric generator.

In 1996 it became a legal requirement for Landlords to ensure that any rental property has a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate carried out annually, on all gas appliances. Landlords must ensure that all gas appliances and flues fitted in any property have an annual landlord gas safety check by a gas safe registered engineer. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a safety check of all the electrical wiring, including accessories, in a caravan. Electrical wiring deteriorates over time, and a periodic inspection and report is needed to make sure that the electrical installation in a caravan remains safe. The report follows a Periodic Inspection and Test.
All electrical installations will deteriorate over time, but we often overlook this fact because the wiring is hidden away inside the walls and ceilings and under flooring, so we never see it. The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” very definitely applies in this case. How fast it deteriorates will depend on the amount of use it gets, the working environment, and the maintenance schedule, if any.
In order to ensure the safety of employees and customers, the electrical installation should be inspected at appropriate intervals as part of a preventive maintenance programme. Not only does this prove that your premises are compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, but it also resolves any issues with insurance if there should a fire or any other electrical issue, because the inspector will have issued you with an EICR certificate – an Electrical Installation Condition Report – which shows that everything was in order.
Indeed, more and more commercial insurance companies are insisting that testing is carried out on a regular basis. If there should be a fire or other accident involving electricity and you are found to be at fault you will be deemed to have committed a criminal offence, and insurers will not pay any compensation or fines resulting.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state: “As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger”.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 require an employer to ensure the safety of equipment used, whether fixed or portable, that requires the use of electrical energy. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires the employer to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the workplace, and that includes customers, visitors, any contractors, or the general public. Finally, the Management of Health and Safety Work Regulations 1999 require an employer to carry out risk assessments to ensure the lowest level of danger for employees and “ensure the safety of the workplace as far as is possible.” So you can see that there are quite a number of laws covering safety and security.
As far as an EICR certificate is concerned, the electrical industry has come up with some guidelines that say that industrial premises should have the wiring checked every three years, other commercial premises every five, and domestic premises every ten years. Additionally, an inspection should be carried out every time the occupancy of premises changes.
There are, however, reasons why an EICR should be carried out more frequently, one of these being the age of the installation. Older installations should be checked more often. Environmental conditions may also have an effect. If the property has a swimming pool an EICR should be carried out yearly, but only in regard to the parts relating to the pool. If vandalism has occurred, an EICR should be carried out, and also if a homeowner has any concerns about the electrical installation.
Furthermore, an EICR will show up any situation that may deteriorate and result in considerably more expense later than if any alterations are carried out straight away.

15 Top-Notch Landlord Certificates Near Me in Broad Street EC2N 1AT England
Moving house can be a very exciting time for many, especially those who are leaving their parents home for the first time. For others, it is an unfortunate consequence of the recession, with many renting their own home and moving to smaller properties. What both groups have in common is their haste, and this is what makes them vulnerable to landlords who do not comply with current UK gas safety legislation. The electrical industry is rapidly developing and reaching the heights. The electrical market is totally getting technological based industry. It fetters the occupations across electro-technology, communications, refrigeration, computer systems, air conditioning, and security systems. It creates an impact on every aspect of daily life.
The fact is that all electrical installations will require inspection and testing at regular intervals as they will deteriorate with age, the type of use, possible damage, and even any alterations or adaptions by persons not qualified to carry out such work.
According to the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, Regulation 621.1 states that “where required, periodic inspection and testing of every electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance with regulations 621.2 to 621.5 in order to determine as far as reasonably practicable, whether the installation is in a satisfactory condition for continued service”.
It is very important to note that Regulation 621.2 requires the installation to have a “detailed examination” and that examination is to be “supplemented by appropriate tests”. This means that the inspection is more important than testing, which is an additional activity to the inspection. When carrying out an inspection, the person doing so must compare the wiring with BS 7671.
What you cannot do is to assume that because wiring conformed to an earlier edition of the regulations that it is necessarily safe. As an example, until 1966 it was acceptable for Class 1 light fittings not to be earthed, and it was also OK to use a public water pipe as a means of earthing. That is not the case today, so if that is what is found on an inspection it is no longer compliant and must be changed.
Furthermore, the inspector carrying out the inspection has to be a “competent person”. Regulation 621.5 of BS 7671 requires: “Periodic inspection and testing shall be undertaken by a skilled person or persons, competent in such work”. Any inspector needs to possess a high level of knowledge and experience of the type of installation to be inspected. He or she also has to possess a copy of the current edition of BS 7671, or at the very least have access to one for reference purposes.
An inspector will also need a certain amount of test equipment in order to carry out tests. A multi-function tester will be sufficient for small installations such as domestic premises, but for larger installations more complex equipment will be needed. This has to comply with BS EN 61557 standard and be in good condition. It must also be regularly calibrated.
It is also essential that an electrical inspection condition report makes absolutely clear what has and has not been inspected. For instance, it might be the case that only the ground floor wiring and installations in an office block have been inspected, and the report should make this abundantly clear. This could very well be because the business owner on the ground floor requires an inspection, and that there are different businesses or offices on the upper floors which are not owned by him.
There are codes which the inspector must use on the report. Code C1 is for use where an immediate danger is present such as an exposed live wire. The inspector must inform the client so that immediate action can be taken. Code C2 is for something which is “potentially dangerous”, while Code C3 means that an improvement is recommended: for instance, warning labels could be missing.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a complete check of your wiring, fuses, switchboards, sockets, and so on, together with anything that is directly wired into the system – i.e. without a plug – such as an electric cooker, heated towel rail, etc.
The unfortunate fact is that electrical wiring systems can and do wear. As with anything else, the more they are used the faster they will wear. They do not need testing as often as portable electrical equipment, but in an industrial situation they should be tested every three years. In other commercial premises you should have an Electrical Installation Condition Report every five years, while in domestic premises it should be every ten years. A report should also be carried out whenever there is a change of occupancy of the premises.

Gas training courses are open to nearly anyone. A usual student may be somebody that is already working with a friend in the gas or plumbing type of industry. Or may perhaps be someone looking for a change in career and do not have any previous experience. No matter who you are, everyone should be capable of finishing at least one of our gas courses which will help you to obtain a gas certification. Not so good news on another electrical price hike from the power provider upsets a number of people like myself. Are you too? If you are, then you must be interested to read this report on how you can generate inexpensive electricity out of a homemade magnetic electric generator. It may possibly be the answer to the high-cost of power fuel and the catalyst to the air pollution problem of our habitat.

What does a landlord electrical test involve? What is tested during the inspection? The electrician will test and inspect the fixed electrical installations in the property.
For example: wiring, plug sockets, light fittings, fuse boxes, electric showers and extractor fans.
They can make any immediate hazards safe before they leave your home.

A landlord is someone who owns property and rents it out to other people for a profit.
That, in and of itself, is not a job.
It makes you money, sure, but it’s not a “job”, any more than owning a stock is a job.
Is an electrical installation certificate the same as an EICR? If there is an installation certificate under 5 years old you don’t need an EICR, and when the LABC are doing the inspection and testing it is common for them to use the EICR forms, as only the person doing the work can issue an installation certificate but they are very similar to the EICR.
When selling your house do you need a gas certificate? Yes, you can indeed sell your house without a gas safety certificate, as it is not required by law at all to have one, However, as an owner of a gas appliance, it is also recommended to at least have annual gas safety inspections and if you let your property you are required to have a gas safety certificate issued once …
Do I need a electrical safety certificate to sell my house? When selling a house, there is no legal obligation to provide a buyer with any electrical safety certificate.
…
When selling a house the potential buyer may want to perform a safety test on both gas and electricity for their own assurance.
What if my landlord doesn’t have a gas safety certificate? You can complain to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) if your landlord won’t carry out gas safety checks.
The HSE can prosecute landlords who don’t meet their gas safety responsibilities.
However they are unlikely to be able to deal with every complaint they receive.

It makes you money, sure, but it’s not a “job”, any more than owning a stock is a job.
Do you need to be registered to issue an EICR? Legally, anyone can.
If they should or not depends on their competence.
If the result has legally binding significance, then you ought to make sure your insurance covers you for that type of work in advance.
Is it illegal to rent a property without a gas safety certificate? Landlords are required to repeat this gas inspection every year.
It’s the only way to legally obtain a gas safety certificate, which is only valid for 12 months.
Without it, the property cannot be let.
…
Letting a property that doesn’t safely use gas is absolutely illegal and can be viewed as a criminal offence.
How long does a landlord electrical certificate take? An electrical safety check takes between 3-4 hours to complete.
Nevertheless, this depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits that need testing.
Do tenants need a copy of electrical certificate? You must get a copy of the report (which will usually be an EICR).
You’ll need this for: Your records – you should keep hold of a copy as evidence of the inspection, and to give to the inspector when you next have the house checked.
Your tenants – you’ll need to give them with a copy within 28 days of the inspection.

Applying Learnings From COVID-19 to Disseminating Climate Change Technology Solutions
By: Jason Anterasian COVID-19 vaccines and new technologies fighting climate change face the same perils. COVID-19 has upended the world and we are entering our third year of the pandemic. When the pandemic first emerged, private biopharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson quickly developed COVID-19 vaccines. Such rapid vaccine development was possible in part because these companies benefited from receiving government funding for COVID-19 vaccine research and development, advanced purchase orders from the government for the vaccines, or both. COVID-19 vaccines also built on prior decades of mRNA vaccine research that had been largely funded by the government. The biopharmaceutical companies now have patents on the vaccines and trade secrets on the manufacturing and commercializing of the vaccines, which have been cited as causes of the inequitable vaccine rollout throughout the world. According to the…
