Just Law mentors Rochester students on justice and law system

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Twelve students were selected as the winners of the 2024-2025 JUST LAW essay contest. The Justice, Understanding, Societal, Trust, and Literacy, Attendance and Writing program (JUST LAW) teaches Rochester students from sixth to ninth grade about the US legal system. Students were asked to write a 250-word essay on the topic 'What Justice Means to Me.' Winners had the opportunity to be mentored by members of the Rochester Black Bar Association and court leaders. 'Just to hear about what experiences children have had with law enforcement, with the court systems, I have learned so much,' Monroe County Judge Fatimat Reid said. 'Even as young as 6th graders they are such deep thinkers, they have such opinions about what they believe the court system is like, how they see the future of the court system, so I really see a bright future in these young kids as to what future and true justice means to them.' Selected from over 150 essay submissions, these students also won opportunities for mentorship with court leaders and members of the Rochester Black Bar Association.

NC, SC attorneys general among those urging Meta to crack down on deceptive ‘pump and dump' Facebook ads

RALEIGH, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson is among 42 across the country urging Meta to crack down on deceptive ads. The joint letter claims the social media giant is allowing these so-called 'pump and dump' schemes on Facebook, conning users out of hundreds of millions of dollars. 'Scammers are using fake Facebook ads to trick people into losing millions in scam investments,' said Jackson in a statement. 'It's Meta's job to take these ads down and make sure their platform is as safe as possible for users everywhere. Meta needs to act now.' Consultant behind AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden goes on trial in New Hampshire Jackson's office says these ads frequently use images of well-known financial figures like Warren Buffet, Cathie Wood and Elon Musk to make users think they're legitimate. They'll advertise stocks with outrageous returns, free consultations, or offer to give investment advice. The AGs claim that clicking on the ads directs users to join a WhatsApp group, where the scammers allegedly urge victims to buy penny stocks to rapidly inflate the share prices. After 'pumping up' the price of the stock, the scammers will 'dump' their shares, causing the prices to fall and leaving victims unable to get their money back. South Carolina AG Alan Wilson is among the co-signers. The letter cites several examples of victims, including a 65-year-old woman who lost her 401(k) to this scheme after clicking on a Facebook ad for what seemed to be a reputable investment management company. And three victims in South Florida spoke to a news outlet reporting direct losses of more than $85,000 and pointing to two-dozen other victims who lost millions more. The attorneys general are asking Meta to either strengthen its advertisement review practices to prevent these ads from being shown to Facebook users or remove all investment ads from the platform.
