U.S.
Judge Signals He Will Approve Trump University Settlement
Thursday’s courtroom hearing could turn out to be the final one in a yearslong case that garnered outsize national attention during the 2016 presidential campaign.Most of the money is not recoverable from the corporation.
Limited liability prevents the search for deeper pockets.
The clients should take the money.

Haiti’s Violent Politics Are Taken to Court. In Boston.
A human rights lawsuit over a 2008 attack in Haiti, a mysterious death and a decade-old killing cast a light on the government’s culture of impunity."The federal lawsuit is based on the 1991 Torture Victim Protection Act, which allows victims of human rights abuses overseas to seek compensation for their injuries from people who were acting in an official capacity. But the victims also want Mr. Viliena, who has said he is innocent, to be tried in Haiti on the charges involving the raid."
Standing remains a problem.

U.S. courts cannot rule on actions that occurred in the sovereign state of Haiti.

Video Review: Acura NSX, a Supercar in Almost All Ways
Honda’s Acura division long erred on the rational and practical side. The second-generation NSX supercar is a welcome shock to those sensibilities.Not now. Probably never.
A hybrid is a silly design. An electric transmission has no real advantage outside the city. In the city it should be an electric.

Letters to the judge from both sides indicate that Mr. Giuliani was retained to work out a resolution with officials at higher levels than the prosecutor overseeing the case.Mr. Zarrab appears to be trying to buy his way out of trouble.
If he succeeds I will not be happy.
