As a practitioner, for instance, I can attest to bemusement clients … Continue reading Pennsylvania Changes Rules of No-Fault Divorce
Author: Lance Malcolm, Esq.
I am a litigator with a broad array of legal experience. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida (2006), and earned my Juris Doctor from Loyola University College of Law, New Orleans in 2012.
During law school, my passion for social justice was honed by two summers as a legal clerk working in Criminal Defense. First selected as a participant in the Orleans Public Defenders Office’s ‘Summer Internship’ program, and then in private practice, I worked extensively on a gamut of criminal defense matters including Appellate and 4th Amendment cases. I also bring more than 3 years of plaintiff-side experience having worked on high-profile product liability and medical malpractice suits, as well as personal injury.
Among my honors received in law school, I earned Top Paper in Trial Practice.
ATTENTION: The 9th Circuit amends the 2nd Amendment…
The last time I checked, neither state government nor the Courts had any power, real or imagined, to amend the U.S. Constitution. A recent ruling from the 9th Circuit, however, suggests maybe I need to check again. In a decision that confounds common sense, plain reading of the Constitutional text as much as it creates … Continue reading ATTENTION: The 9th Circuit amends the 2nd Amendment…

Co-Parenting 101
One repetitive and especially pernicious theme concerning custody disputes that we often see here at Prince Law, is the failure or practical inability of former spouses or partners to effectively co-parent. Surely, few things in this world breed contempt like a permanent separation and that rule of thumb is usually only enhanced where a child-in-common is concerned. … Continue reading Co-Parenting 101
