Voting is an important part of maintaining our democracy – and it feels even better when we receive a sticker to do it. While they might seem like a small token of participation, “I Voted” stickers help normalize voting as an expected social norm – political scientists have highlighted that people are more likely to vote when they think that others around them vote, too.

Fletcher v. Merritt resulted in several rulings on the proof required to prevail in a property dispute. Merritt filed a trespass to try title suit (actually a quiet title, which the court construed as TTT) against Fletcher for ownership of a 28.9 foot-wide strip separating their lots. In concluding that the evidence was legally and factually sufficient to support adverse possession in favor of Merritt the court clarified several aspects of Texas adverse possession and TTT law.

Climate change, one of the defining challenges of our time, demands multifaceted approaches to drive action and accountability. Two central players in this arena are climate litigators and United Nations (UN) climate negotiators. While they may seem like separate pieces of the climate puzzle, they interact in a symbiotic and mutually reinforcing manner in the collective effort to combat global warming.

Interest in electric vehicles (EVs) is strong among U.S. drivers—including drivers who live in rural areas. That’s great news because swapping gasoline and diesel vehicles for EVs is an essential strategy to reduce local air pollution and climate change emissions from transportation. One factor helping rural interest is the increasing variety in available electric models, including models that can meet the mobility and utility demands of rural drivers.
