Backpacks, Broadway, and Building Restrictions: A Legal Reminder

September 15, 2025 — Matthew DeVries - Best Practices Construction Law
A few weeks ago, I took two of my girls to New York City for a quick overnight trip to see two Broadway shows. My rule for packing was simple: one backpack each. No rolling bags, no extras. We were walking the city, checking into a hotel, and going straight to the shows. The plain meaning of my instructions were clear: one bag per person. That’s exactly how the Tennessee Court of Appeals handled a recent case, Killen v. Boardman (Aug. 2025). A landowner tried to build a second house after subdividing her lot. But the subdivision restrictions, recorded in 1971, said: "Not more than one residence shall be erected on one tract." The court enforced the restriction as written. One tract meant one residence. Splitting the lot didn’t erase the covenant or the developer’s plan for the subdivision. What made the analysis significant was the court’s reliance on the general plan doctrine, which holds that that when developer sells land with restrictions designed to implement a general plan of development, he “impliedly represents to the purchasers that the rest of the land included in the plan is, or will be, similarly restricted.” Read the full story...

Mechanic’s Liens and Contracts: A Roundup

October 06, 2025 — Christopher G. Hill - Construction Law Musings
Musings thought that it would step away from its discussion of “green” construction to discuss a few interesting construction cases that came down recently in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The first of these is another warning to contractors that arbitration provisions can be waived by conduct. In Shoosmith Bros., Inc. v. Hopewell Nursing Home, the Hopewell Circuit Court of Virginia found that Kenbridge Construction Company’s waived its right to arbitration by its use of the Courts for a substantial period of time and its use of the discovery “machinery” of the Court. In short, if you want to enforce an arbitration clause, do it early to avoid an argument that you have waived arbitration. The second case is in relation to mechanic’s liens. I find this one interesting because the Court actually refused to invalidate a lien for a minor inaccuracy in the description of the work performed. In B.P. Realty LP v. Urban Eng'g Associates, Inc. et. al., the Fairfax, Virginia Circuit Court refused to invalidate a lien because the engineering firm and defendant in the case failed to include the word “surveying” in its description of the work. The court held that this is an excusable inaccuracy. Read the full story...

AI as Co-Counsel: How Litigators Can Leverage AI for Depositions, Experts, and Trial Preparation

November 21, 2025 — Debrán O’Neil - The Dispute Resolver
Artificial intelligence is everywhere right now, and the legal industry is no exception. It’s a regular feature at CLEs and in client discussions because lawyers are discovering that careful use can save both time and money. But AI is no longer reserved for e-discovery vendors. Litigators are using AI for trial preparation—helping identify themes, test case theories, summarize voluminous records, refine expert testimony, and streamline depositions. While AI is not able to read a witness, gauge credibility, or build trust with a jury like lawyers, it can make preparation more efficient and thorough and help present information in a more digestible and compelling way. Below are practical ways litigators can weave AI into their everyday litigation practice and not get left behind. Read the full story...

Battle Looms as Feds Order Washington State Coal Plant to Stay Open

January 21, 2026 — Tim Newcomb - Engineering News-Record
Just days away from closure and a $600-million remake as a gas-powered facility, an independent power producer-owned coal-fired power plant in Washington state is ordered by the Trump administration to remain open through mid-March 2026—and likely longer—setting up a battle with state and company officials. Shutdown of the 730-MW plant, operating since 1972, was timed to comply with a state law banning coal power generation in 2026 and beyond. Read the full story...
