Major General Ambrose Burnside — Union hero of the Civil War, Governor and U.S. Senator from Rhode Island, and the man whose iconic sideburns gave the world that famous hairstyle name.
This portrait has hung in our office for years, a gift from our late founder, Jeremy Burnside. While General Burnside had no children and no direct descendants, we’re proud to share the Burnside name and the spirit it represents.
General Burnside was known for his courage, integrity, and steadfast leadership — even in the face of great challenges. Those same values live on at Burnside Brankamp Law: fighting for the underdog, standing up for what’s right, and working tirelessly to strengthen our community, just as Jeremy did every day.
We’re honored to carry the name forward.

Yesterday, SCOTUS delivered a landmark decision effecting gender transition for minors. The 6-3 decision upheld a Tennessee law banning healthcare providers from prescribing puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery to minors to treat gender dysphoria or gender incongruency. The Law permits use of these medications for other medical purposes, such as treating precocious puberty.

In so doing, SCOTUS held that this law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause because it classifies based on age and medical use, not s*x or transgender status. SCOTUS reasoned that contrary to discrimination, the purpose of the law was to protect minors, who are unable to consent, from risks of irreversible sterility and psychological consequences.

GREATER SIGNIFICANCE. Currently, over 20 states have bans on gender-affirming care, sports team restrictions, or birth certificate changes, and Trump recently promised to end "transgender lunacy" including executive orders on nonbinary passport markers. This decision may encourage other states to enact similar bans and a decision either way would have wider implications for sports teams or bathroom access. Notably, Barrett also suggested that transgender status may not receive protections akin to race or s*x, which could affect all ages.

Without a legal basis to do so, Defendants to a lawsuit sometimes threaten to countersue for defamation when they don't like the allegations that were put forth in the Complaint. If a defamation case of this nature were allowed to go on without being immediately dismissed, many people wouldn't file justifiable lawsuits. For this reason, Justin Baldoni's counterclaim for defamation was dismissed, but his counterclaims with regard to the contract dispute were allowed to go on until June 23, 2025.

A judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, a major development in the ongoing civil litigation between former co-stars Lively and Baldoni.
