The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Jordan Denning assigned me my first research assignment regarding the question: Does a CA-registered LLC need to file in each state it intends to transact business? Would there be a benefit to incorporating in DE over CA?
After consulting secondary sources (American Law reports, Law reviews, and law firm articles), the question I began to search for in primary sources became what constitutes “transacting business” specifically in California, Delaware, and Texas—and does any benefit exist in choosing DE over CA?
While I knew about LLCs from my corporation class, I was unfamiliar with the requirements for foreign entities since we only covered LLCs on a surface level. It was a very enjoyable research assignment, despite not having much prior knowledge. The client was wondering if they could effectively avoid incorporating as a foreign entity in other states when selling their product in that state. Each state has a different list regarding what constitutes “transacting business” and what does NOT constitute as “transacting business.” I came to the conclusion that it is fine for a CA LLC to do business in other states as long as the majority of revenue isn't coming from that state (and other factors such as having a physical presence or conducting regular business activities in that state–in that case, it would need to incorporate).
Regarding incorporating in DE over CA, no benefit exists to not having to incorporate in foreign states. I sent my finding to Jordan. I discussed them with him, and he agreed.
I participated in a client intake meeting with Megan and Allie, where we reviewed an actual legal issue for a client. Megan acted as the client (for my sake, in giving me exposure to dealing with a real client) while Allie and I, mostly Allie, went through the possible legal issues that our client might face.
The overarching issue concerns a copyright infringement claim against a nonprofit that L&M is representing on a pro-bono basis. I was tasked with coming up with practical business advice for the non-profit and to draft contracts for the non-paid interns of the organization. It was a very fun and practical activity that any clerk would benefit from. I learned a lot from witnessing the interactions between Megan, the somewhat difficult client, and Allie, a clear communicator who led the conversation where it needed to go and set the expectations from both parties.
This week I worked on my pro bono assignment where I drafted a contract regarding the relationship between a non-profit organization and the college interns that work with them. In addition to the contract, I also drafted an internal proposal for the non-profit focusing on best practices and alternatives to avoid copyright infringement. I loved this assignment since it was my first time drafting any form of contract and an internal proposal. Prior to this experience, I only had exposure to legal research and writing in the context of litigation. For the draft contract, I looked up several college intern contracts between non-profit organizations for concrete examples which allowed me to begin drafting. For the internal proposal, because I did not have much experience with copyright law I had to do some research into copyright infringement. I read reputable articles posted by well-known intellectual property law firms and law review articles to obtain some form of understanding of copyright infringement. I really enjoyed these assignments because I gained new experience and was taken out of my comfort zone. I just began work on my next assignment for Jordan Denning which requires me to draft a TX LLC single member operating agreement and a set of member resolutions to execute. I am very excited to begin work on this for the same reasons. So far, I am having a great experience at L&M.
This week I worked on an assignment with Jordan Denning. I was tasked with a formation assignment for a Texas LLC. I drafted a single-member operating agreement and a set of member resolutions to execute. This was a wonderful experience since I got some hands-on corporate law experience, and some of my knowledge from my corporation's course came in handy! All of the materials I needed were in the resources provided by L&M, so no outside research was needed, which made the assignment a lot easier.
For my second task, I created a detailed case brief for Google v. Gonzalez and was tasked with listing out the possible ramifications in the event that Google is held liable. I broke down the procedural history of the case along with the question presented to the USSC and discussed them with Megan and the other law clerk.
This week I created a detailed case brief for Google v. Gonzalez and was tasked with listing out the possible ramifications in the event that Google is held liable. I broke down the procedural history of the case along with the question presented to the USSC and discussed them with Megan and the other law clerk. The assignment and exercise were helpful in teaching me how to view the business aspect of Supreme Court decisions and how to better communicate the legal jargon.
This week I was assigned a fascinating project that has to do with transferring assets from one LLC to another. The project requires me to find out the necessary steps to take in reinstating an LLC, transferring assets from one LLC to another, and dissolving an LLC. On top of this, I am to create an inventory asset for an LLC. I am excited to start this assignment because it touches on many different aspects of corporate and intellectual property law. It is also immensely practical and useful to understand asset transfers.
