Seller SQF Lies, Ethics of Contingency Fees & Minors Signing NIL Deals in Texas

This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they tackle listener questions, including what recourse a buyer has if a house is discovered to have less square footage after closing, exploring causes of action like DTPA and negligent misrepresentation. They also delve into the ethical debate surrounding the contingency fee model, discussing whether it allows lawyers to "buy claims" and how it provides access to justice for the poor. Finally, they answer the question of whether a minor can legally sign a NIL deal in Texas and the one specific exception for 17-year-olds.
