In one of the most significant shifts in drug policy in decades, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order on December 18, 2025 ordering the Attorney General to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. Moving cannabis to Schedule III demonstrates federal government acknowledgement of what has continuously proven true in recent medical research—that cannabis has “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence” and several accepted medical uses. To learn how this creates significant legal consequences in the intellectual property realm, read here: https://www.keanmiller.com/insights/blog/intellectual-property-law/growing-pains-cannabis-moving-to-schedule-iii-with-new-ip-opportunities-and-challenges/

For over three decades, Louisiana’s R.S. 9:2779 has stood as a bulwark against out-of-state forum selection and choice-of-law clauses in construction contracts involving Louisiana-domiciled parties and projects. Despite its longevity, the statute has always lacked one critical feature: a definition of “construction contract.” That gap left room for litigation over the statute’s scope—particularly in disputes touching Louisiana’s oil and gas and petrochemical sectors. Learn how Act 132 closes that gap and narrows the statute’s reach in crucial ways: https://www.keanmiller.com/insights/blog/louisiana-law-blog/act-132-of-2026-louisiana-tightens-protections-on-forum-selection-and-choice-of-law-in-construction-contracts/
