Washington Case-Law

Read a random definition: church and state

A quick definition of Washington Case-Law:

Washington Case-Law refers to legal cases that have been decided in the state of Washington. One important case is Gordon v. Virtumundo, which dealt with spam emails and the CAN-SPAM Act. The court ruled that the plaintiff did not have standing to bring a claim under the Act and that his claims were preempted by it. Another case, State v. Heckel, upheld the constitutionality of Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act, which protects internet service providers, domain name and email address owners, and individual internet users from the harms of spam emails. The court found that the Act did not unduly burden inter-state commerce or have extraterritorial effects on other states.

A more thorough explanation:

Washington Case-Law refers to legal cases that have been decided in the state of Washington. One important case is Gordon v. Virtumundo, which dealt with spam emails and the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a federal law that regulates commercial emails. In Gordon v. Virtumundo, the court ruled that the plaintiff did not have standing to bring a claim under the CAN-SPAM Act and that his claims based on deceptive email headers were preempted by the Act. The court also discussed how Washington's consumer protection statute would have to be interpreted to avoid preemption by the CAN-SPAM Act.

Another important case related to anti-spam laws is State v. Heckel, where the Washington Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act ("CEMA"). The court determined that CEMA protects the interests of internet service providers, owners of domain names and email addresses, and individual internet users. The court also found that CEMA's "truthfulness" requirements do not unduly burden inter-state commerce or have unconstitutional extraterritorial effects on other states.

An example of how Washington Case-Law can affect individuals is if someone receives spam emails that violate anti-spam laws. They may be able to bring a claim under state or federal law, depending on the circumstances. However, as seen in Gordon v. Virtumundo, there are certain requirements that must be met in order to bring a successful claim.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
