On March 19, Governor Wolf ordered that all non-life sustaining businesses in the state needed to close physical locations in order to slow the spread of the virus. Those businesses that did not comply with the Governor’s mandate faced potential legal actions including citations, fines, and license suspensions.

  • World Heritage City Project (Second Edition)
    A Prospectus for Investment in the World Heritage City Project (Second Edition) Delivering on the Promise of Philadelphia’s World Heritage City Status Through a New Mission- Oriented Approach Global Philadelphia Association 2018 The World Heritage City Logo and Its Symbolism The Philadelphia World Heritage City logo was designed for the World Heritage City Project by J2 Design Partnership. It has come to represent a city that is using a uniquely distinguished past to propel a dramatically new future. At the center of the logo is Independence Hall. This iconic building has been recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site. Independence Hall was seen as having “outstanding universal value” in that – in the words of UNESCO’s sixth criterion for inscription on the World Heritage List – it is “directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs . of outstanding universal significance.” Having such a UNESCO‐ designated site within our borders, together with our later success in securing membership in the Organization of World Heritage Cities in 2015, has enabled Philadelphia to become a “World Heritage City”. The horizontal lines to the left of the tower represent motion, reflecting that we are not standing on our laurels but moving forward as a city. To the right is a star, representing the City’s aspirations for the future. Taken together, the horizontal lines and the star become a distillation of the stars and stripes of the American flag and the great country that was born here nearly two and one‐half centuries ago.

  • Amicus Brief
    IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA ORPHANS’ COURT DIVISION NO. 58788 IN RE: THE BARNES FOUNDATION POST-HEARING BRIEF OF THE AMICUS CURIAE, STUDENTS OF THE BARNES FOUNDATION, SUE S. HOOD, WILLIAM PHILLIPS AND HARVEY A. WANK I. Introduction. In January, this Court found the Barnes Foundation's finances sufficiently exigent to consider the application of the doctrine of deviation with respect to the location of the Foundation's gallery art collection. At that time, however, there had "not been an adequate showing [by the Trustees] that sufficient revenue can not be generated by other means." Memorandum and Opinion Jan. 29, 2004 at 25 ("Op. January 2004"). If the hearings before this Court in September, 2004 demonstrated anything, it is that sufficient revenue can be generated by other means, and equally importantly, the state of financial exigency is far less dire than the Court had been led to believe. The Foundation's current structural deficit, confirmed by two of it's witnesses, is less than half what was stated in December, or roughly $1 million. The unrestricted assets that the Amicus Curiae were permitted to value far exceed the $2o million needed for an endowment sufficient to eliminate the deficit. Given this fact and the host of other revenue-enhancing alternatives, the Court must conclude that the Barnes Foundation did not demonstrate "by clear and convincing evidence" that moving the gallery collection to Philadelphia, and eliminating the restrictions on public visitation days, are the least drastic means of furthering Dr. Barnes' central aims under his Indenture.1 For this reason, the Amicus Curiae believe the Court must deny the Trustees' Second Amended Petition to Amend the Charter and Bylaws to allow relocation of the art 1Indenture of trust of Albert C.

  • PA Supreme Court Announces New Work Product Doctrine Waiver Analysis with Regard to Dissemination of Information to Third Parties
    PA Supreme Court Announces New Work Product Doctrine Waiver Analysis with Regard to Dissemination of Information to Third Parties Healthcare Alert | June 24, 2019 By: Daniel Ferhat and Laura Hutchinson On June 18, 2019, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court announced a new attorney work product waiver analysis in BouSamra v. Excela Health. The central holding of the Supreme Court’s decision in BouSamra is that the attorney work product doctrine is not waived by disclosure unless the alleged work product is disclosed to an adversary or disclosed in a manner which significantly increases the likelihood that an adversary or anticipated adversary will obtain it. The work product doctrine, codified in Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4003.3, protects the disclosure of mental impressions, conclusions, opinions, notes or summaries, or legal theories of a party’s attorney, respecting the value or merit of a claim or defense or respecting strategy or tactics. Considering confidentiality is not a cornerstone of this privilege, disclosure to a third-party does not always undermine the purpose of the work product protection. Prior to BouSamra, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had declined to comment on the work product doctrine waiver issue. However, in BouSamra, Justice Sallie Updyke Mundy, who wrote the opinion on behalf of the majority, pointed out that the work product doctrine has become confused or conflated with the standards applied to the attorney-client privilege. The Supreme Court explained that the attorney-client privilege is designed to protect confidentiality, such that any disclosure outside the attorney-client relationship is inconsistent with the privilege. By contrast, the work product protection is invoked against adversaries and does not exist to protect a confidential relationship.
