Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:52:35 GMT

A business professor and real estate attorney at some of the city’s top firms has been barred from practicing law for 30 months because she carried on a years-long lie.Cindy Lowery-Graber, who has been a lawyer in Colorado since 2002, was working in the Denver office of international firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner in summer 2015 when she was introduced to a client who was having issues with the title of their home.She determined that a quiet title action — litigation used for simple property disputes — was the best route. But she never filed the action, according to an admission she signed last month.“In April 2016, (Lowery-Graber) informed the client that the complaint was filed, that she expected no responsive answers to be filed and that she would move for default,” that admission explains. “This was not true. No complaint had been filed.”“This message began a pattern of communications…where she represented that a complaint had been filed, that her law firm was waiting on...

Google is being sued by the family of a North Carolina man who died after Google Maps reportedly directed him to drive off a collapsed bridge.The family alleges Google was negligent because it failed to update its app to reflect the bridge's disrepair.Google for its part said it sympathizes with the family and is reviewing the lawsuit.This case is super-interesting, one of a number of lawsuits that are seeking to define where liability falls when automated systems cause mishaps or accidents.In the Google case, is the Silicon Valley tech giant ultimately responsible? Is it the software developer? Whoever wrote the algorithm? No one?Or is this a case of buyer beware? Are consumers liable if the systems they're using cause trouble?If your Tesla hits something while in Autopilot mode, is the carmaker liable? Whoever wrote the code? You for engaging the self-driving system?Cases such as these will probably work their way through the courts for years as society comes to terms with the gro...
