Thanks to the generosity of our readers, we were able to purchase nearly $4000 worth of gift cards from local restaurants by the end of May and present them to nominated groups. As Delaware continues to reopen, local restaurants and our healthcare community are still facing extraordinary challenges.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Delaware Judiciary Expresses Condolences on Passing of Retired Chancellor William T
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Delaware Judiciary Expresses Condolences on Passing of Retired Chancellor William T. Allen October 14, 2019 The Delaware Judiciary was saddened to learn of the passing on Sunday of retired Chancellor William T. Allen, a giant of the corporate bar, academia, and the Delaware Bench. The Judiciary expresses its deepest condolences to the friends and family of Chancellor Allen. Allen, 75, was appointed as Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery by Governor Mike Castle in 1985. He served until 1997 when he returned to his alma mater, New York University, to teach law and re-entered private practice at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. “Our nation lost one of the finest jurists of the last fifty years yesterday,” said Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Leo E. Strine, Jr. “Chancellor Allen set a standard of excellence that made Delaware stand out in the eyes of all sophisticated observers. Bill Allen, the person, set a standard as a husband, father, friend, and caring professor to which we should all aspire. For me personally, he was a mentor, source of wisdom, and an inspiration. Everyone in Delaware owes him a debt of gratitude for what he did for our state, and our Judiciary’s hearts are with his wife and children, as they endure the loss of this special man.” “I was saddened on Sunday to learn of the passing of former Chancellor Allen — one of Delaware’s finest legal minds,” said Delaware Governor John Carney. “Bill helped set and maintain a reputation of excellence on Delaware’s Court of Chancery.

  • Supreme Court Begins Term with Carney V. Adams, a Case on Judicial Balance
    Supreme Court Begins Term with Carney v. Adams, a Case on Judicial Balance CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS October 9, 2020 On Monday, October 5, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court began its term with eight justices on the bench, after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg nearly three weeks ago. By teleconference, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Carney v. Adams, a timely case on whether Delaware's law to politically balance its own courts is constitutional. At the center of the dispute are two Delaware laws known as the “bare majority” provision and the “major political party” provision. Under the former, state courts are allowed to have only a bare majority of judges from any one political party. Under the latter, the remaining seats on certain courts must be filled by judges from the other major political party. Currently, appointees affiliated with the Democratic Party hold a bar majority of the courts’ seats, with the balance being held by appointees affiliated with the Republican Party. For two branches of the State’s courts system, only the bare majority requirement applies. Michael McConnell, former Tenth Circuit Judge and now of Wilson Sonsini, argued on behalf of Governor Carney and the state that the major political party provision provides a "valuable backstop" to the bare majority provision. McConnell said that without that backstop, governors could simply nominate someone—whether an “independent” or a member of a political party— like the Green or Libertarian parties—whose views align with those of the governor and his party. That would frustrate Delaware’s goal of creating “stable, balanced, and nonpartisan” courts, which have attracted a majority of major companies to incorporate in the state.

  • Basic Information Biden Was Born on November 20, 1942 (77)
    1 ● Basic information12 ○ Biden was born on November 20, 1942 (77), in Scranton, Pennsylvania. ○ In 1953, The Bidens moved to Claymont, Delaware, and then eventually to Wilmington, Delaware. ○ Biden earned his bachelor’s degree in 1965 from the University of Delaware, with a double major in history and political science. ○ Biden graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968 and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969. ■ During his first year at Syracuse, Biden was accused of plagiarizing five of fifteen pages of a law review article. As a result, he failed the course and had to retake it. The plagiarism incident has resurfaced during various political campaigns. ● Early political career3 ○ After graduating from law school, Biden began practicing law as a public defender and then for a firm headed by Sid Balick, a locally active Democrat. Biden would go on to officially register as a Democrat at this time. ○ At the end of 1969, Biden ran to represent the 4th district on the New Castle County Council, a usually Republican district. ■ He served on the County Council from 1970 to 1972, while continuing his private law practice. ● 1972 US Senate campaign ○ In 1972, longtime Delaware political figure and Republican incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs was considering retirement, which would likely have left US Representative Pete du Pont and Wilmington Mayor Harry G. Haskell Jr. in a divisive primary fight. ■ To avoid that, President Nixon convinced Boggs to run again with full party support which kept several known Democrats out of the race. ○ Biden’s grassroots campaigned, managed by his sister Valerie Biden Owens, focused on withdrawals from Vietnam, the environment, civil rights, mass transit, more equitable taxation, and health care.
