Legal Intelligencer: Where Do I Have to Go to Get a Decent Beer?—State of Taprooms in Pa. and NJ in 2025
In the May 12, 2025 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Aaron Peskin writes, “Where Do I Have to Go to Get a Decent Beer? —State of Taprooms in Pa. and NJ in 2025.”

Horn reverses this trend, opening new possibilities for plaintiffs for recovery.

Offers of judgment, if used properly, can provide strategic leverage in negotiations and serve as a decisive tool in bringing cases to a more efficient resolution.

Aaron Peskin Provides Law360 Expert Analysis on How DOGE’s Severance Plan May Affect Federal Employees
On February 26, 2025, Law360 published an Expert Analysis authored by Kang Haggerty senior counsel Aaron Peskin, on How DOGE’s Severance Plan May Affect Federal Employees.
To say that President Donald Trump’s administration is off to a fast start would be quite the understatement.
