NCLA has filed for summary judgment in Flint Avenue v. Department of Labor, urging the Northern District of Texas to strike down a new DOL rule that exceeds its authority. The rule sets a $58,656 minimum salary for exempting “white collar” employees from FLSA’s wage and overtime requirements, impacting millions of workers nationwide.

The rule would force employers to raise salaries or reclassify employees as hourly, limiting flexible work options. Flint Avenue, LLC, a small software company, faces losing its ability to offer perks like unlimited vacation. Tune in to hear Mark and Vec dive into this critical case.

NCLA, with its founder Professor Philip Hamburger, has filed a crucial amicus curiae brief in the case of New York v. Donald Trump. They are challenging a New York law used by Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump for alleged fraud. Unlike typical fraud cases, New York Executive Law § 63.12 allows for penalties simply for making incorrect business statements, without needing to prove intent or harm.

NCLA argues that this law infringes on First Amendment rights and is urging the court to overturn it to safeguard free speech for everyone. In this episode, Mark, Vec, and Senior Litigation Counsel Greg Dolin discuss the case and its broader implications.
