- Maryland protects people from "gender identity" discrimination in employment and housing, with gender identity defined as an expressive trait rather than a biological attribute; futher, federal case law under Title VII nationally is trending the same way and expanding under the concept of 'gender stereotype discrimination' as a form of sex discrimination, as discussed in this overview article published in the Maryland Trial Reporter (Summer 2018), reprinted at the Daily Record (July 27, 2018)., Gender Identity: The New Protected Class, 2018
- Maryland’s highest court created a new cause of action against local and state governments for damage to private property if the damage results from a longstanding failure to regulate, the danger was well "known," and so, there arose an affirmative duty to act.

While what constitutes a longstanding, known danger rendering a government liable in tort to private property owners is not strictly defined, the Litz decision and the facts discussed therein provide a guide (co-authored and published in the Maryland Trial Reporter)., Failure to Regulate: Governmental Liability Under Litz, 2017

- In an employee's challenge to a denial of disability benefits under private sector insurance, where the insurer making the decision also would be liable for paying that employee, the U.S. Supreme Court now permits some limited discovery of whether a conflict of interest tainted that decision, when challenging the insurer in federal court, under Metropolitan Life Ins.
