NC court affirms charging order against Delaware LLC based on personal jurisdiction
A North Carolina appeals court on June 13 affirmed a charging order against a Delaware limited liability company, ruling that personal jurisdiction over the debtor was sufficient to justify the action. “This could lead to a situation where a business is subject to multiple conflicting state laws,” said Mark Reynolds, a constitutional law professor. “Delaware’s incorporation laws exist to provide predictability. If every state can assert jurisdiction based on tenuous ties, that predictability disappears.”

AI boosts demand for liberal arts skills in U.S. jobs
Employers are increasingly signaling that the new premium is not just on technical fluency, but on analytical thinking, communication and judgment, skills long associated with liberal arts training. Wake Forest University career expert Andy Chan said in April 2026 that AI is effectively “resurrecting” the liberal arts for the Class of 2026. His point reflects a widening gap between what employers say they need and what many graduates believe they can prove.

Southeast Asian nations chart important new course toward environmental justice
An effective regional plan of action would set out guidance on how the ASEAN states should provide environmental information, facilitate participation in decision-making, ensure effective access to justice…and protect the most vulnerable from environmental harm, through the development of their own national action plans. A plan of action that would not only be of incalculable benefit to the people of the ASEAN region, but it could provide a model for the rest of the world," writes Henry C. Lauerman Professor of International Law John Knox.

Trump, foiled again, lashes out as talks with Iran stall and hostilities flare up
“Trump had a great opportunity to reshape American foreign policy and may have dropped the ball,” said politics professor William Walldorf. “He had a fair amount of political capital, a strong economic recovery, and has wasted a lot of it. The danger for Mr. Trump is that any agreement he assents to may resemble the Iran agreement made in the Obama administration that he twice spurned − or may give critics the opening for saying so, despite inevitable White House assertions to the contrary."

As an American, should you feel guilty about rooting against the US in the World Cup?
The 2026 World Cup promises to be the planet’s most-watched sporting event. It’s also poised to generate its fair share of controversy. “Our country is winning again,” President Trump said, devoting nearly six minutes of his speech to the team’s victory. The outlook for the U.S. men in this year’s World Cup is not quite as bright, but chances are good that someone will try to co-opt their success or failure for political purposes. Fans don’t have to fall into the trap, writes philosophy professor Adam Kadlac.

In a first, scientists precisely edit human embryo genes
Scientists at Columbia University have edited the DNA of early human embryos with unprecedented accuracy, an achievement that could open the way to babies engineered with particular characteristics. Ana Iltis, a bioethicist at Wake Forest, worried that assessing the safety of base-edited embryos will require far more scrutiny than simply looking for damaged chromosomes. “It is possible that some of the potentially harmful effects would not be evident until after birth,” she warned.

Eroding a virtue: AI trains people to expect instant answers – and that’s bad news for patience
AI tools are helping foster a culture of immediacy, thereby diminishing the capacity for patience. Patience can be developed in lots of different areas of life that have nothing to do with research and which are less susceptible to AI incursion. Working on a craft project, detailing a car, weeding a garden, practicing your basketball shot, lifting weights – all these activities can foster patience too. The more this character muscle is strengthened, the more it will be available to use in many different areas of your life.
