Today's edition is sponsored by Timeglass. Their support keeps these briefings free and focused on what actually matters.

In Charlotte, a federal complaint says the police department's own attorneys told officers five years ago that the smell of marijuana would not carry an arrest by itself. In Salt Lake City, a judge sent a cannabis company's jurisdictional fight back to the agency without touching the question. In Jerusalem, a trade case against Canadian growers closed because somebody skipped a required notice. And in Louisiana, a hemp lawsuit that described a million dollars in stranded inventory ended before any court decided whether that was a constitutional injury. None of it got decided this week. It got moved to a later docket, a higher court, a corrected filing. That works fine if you are an institution with a calendar. It works less well if you are signing a warehouse lease in August and need to know what you are allowed to sell in November.

The Hours You Can't See Are The Ones Costing You

Ask an agency owner what her partner's utilization is and she'll tell you it looks terrible - because he's never logged a non-billable hour in his life, while doing enormous real work for the business. Every agency has this person. Their time is invisible, so the numbers built on top of it are fiction. Timeglass captures billable and non-billable alike, automatically, with no one deciding what's worth writing down. You finally see the whole shape of the week. Start free.
