A landlord had a duty to warn tenants that a child molester might be living in their apartment complex, the Florida Court of Appeal has ruled.
The plaintiff and her three children rented an apartment in a Fort Lauderdale building. The 9-year-old daughter of another tenant was molested in a meter room on the complex, but the landlord did not give notice of the attack. Subsequently, the same man, who lived in the complex, sexually assaulted one of the plaintiff's daughters as she walked to school.

MIAMI (AP) -- A pharmacist can be held responsible for failing to warn about a medication's risks, even when filling a doctor's prescription, a Florida appeals court ruled.
The 4th District Court of Appeal said the duty to warn about using drugs repeatedly or in harmful combinations is based in the requirement that pharmacists have "general knowledge" of medicines they dispense and the risks they present.

In the 2009-2010 term, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if it matters whether a criminal defense lawyer correctly counsels a client about the fact that the client faces deportation as a result of a guilty plea. Under prevailing constitutional norms in almost every jurisdiction, a lawyer does not have a duty to tell her client about many serious but "collateral" consequences of a guilty plea. Yet, in every jurisdiction that has considered the issue, that very same lawyer will run afoul of her duties if she affirmatively misrepresents a collateral consequence—every jurisdiction, that is, except Kentucky. The Supreme Court of Kentucky recently held that when there is no duty to warn about a consequence because it is collateral, misadvice about that same consequence is not a consti...
