Ep. 262: What Is An Act of God Anyway?
Until recently, contract provisions meant to guard against unforeseen disasters and \u201cActs of God\u201d were fairly routine, and even seasoned attorneys didn\u2019t pay them much mind. But that all changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has sent attorneys scrambling to make sure their bases are covered in the event of the next global calamity. On this week\u2019s episode of Pro Say, we welcome Law360\u2019s seasoned real estate pro Andrew McIntyre to dish on \u201cforce majeure\u201d and the new direction of post-COVID contract law. Also this week: the latest twist in a opioid crisis document dispute involving Arnold & Porter; a lawsuit claiming top universities colluded on financial aid underpayments gets the green light in federal court; and finally, a real stinker of an offbeat as a former Ohio court mediator stands accused of mailing feces to a sitting congressman.
