I was on again with James White on Critical Disclosure Radio. I continued the discussion I previously had with Emma on The Imagination Podcast; we spoke about how courts commit racketeering by putting in place a system where people get appointed and cases continue without end.
In the last fifteen minutes, we also talked about the recent lawsuit threat I faced.
As I noted, in California, where this lawyer practices, the state has the toughest anti-SLAPP legislation. SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. Anti-SLAPP legislation protects the media and others from frivolous lawsuits on matters of public interest.
Indeed, I warned the lawyer in this case that any lawsuit would be met with a motion using anti-SLAPP.
As you know, your client and his swimming prowess have been featured in several publications. As such, he is considered a limited purpose public figure for the purposes of any potential lawsuit which means he would need to prove defamation by actual malice, a near impossible standard. Furthermore, California passed anti-SLAPP legislation for exactly these kinds of situations, and California's anti-SLAPP statute is among the toughest in the nation. It provides a quick path to dismissal and I can then collect legal fees from you and your client. It even provides a SLAPP Back provision which may also be an option.
I have however added your dispute of the salary to the end of the article. That is all I will change unless you'd like me to reprint the entire letter.

I told Jim that I believe that all states should have an anti-SLAPP statute along with a federal anti-SLAPP statute and it should be modeled on California’s.
