HOW CAN NFTS SHAPE THE FUTURE?

Shaian Mohammadi served as a Paralegal and Admin Strategist at DealerXT Technology, while also working concurrently in the investment and cryptocurrency worlds. As a graduate of California Western School of Law, Mohammadi has a law degree and recently sat for the bar exam. 

As Forbes recently explained, NFT stands for non-fungible token. It’s generally built using the same kind of programming as cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. According to Forbes, each has a digital signature that makes it impossible for NFTs to be exchanged for or equal to one another. 

However the utility is endless. As new crypto startups launch every day, NFTs will utilize augmented reality ("AR") technology in order to create new revenue streams whether for digital ID or the ad space for the masses. NFTs soon will also be able to save a person's life by utilizing the Ethereum blockchain and make medical transfers seamless.

SPACE LAW TAKES OFF WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY AND COMMERCIAL TRAVEL

With a law degree from the California Western School of Law, Shaian Mohammadi holds extensive experience in law as a paralegal and law clerk. In recent years, Mohammadi has focused on newly emerging areas of the law such as cryptocurrency, AI, and space aviation. 

According to the United Nations, space law addresses areas such as the preservation of the space and Earth environments, liability for damages caused by space objects, taking off with payloads, the settlement of disputes and arbitration, and international law. It is a quickly emerging field of law due in part to the growth of technology and of recent strides and successes with SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin.

Law schools and firms would be wise to curtail their upper-class curriculum and areas to incorporate newly emerging fields of law that new technology allows to grow into the future. There will be much more need for legal professionals in the space and aviation sectors of the law as well, as commercial space travel takes off.

CALIFORNIA INNOCENCE PROJECT AIMS TO FREE THE WRONGLY CONVICTED

A current paralegal and law clerk, Shaian Mohammadi undertakes case law and statutory research, motions for preliminary injunctions, and litigation strategy meetings. Shaian Mohammadi is passionate about supporting the under-represented in his free time, focusing on the wrongfully convicted, low-income groups, immigrant women, and has aligned his legal volunteer work with these similar causes.

In one of his engagements during law school, he was a legal intern at the California Innocence Project (CIP). The California Innocence Project, established in 1999 at the California Western School of Law, strives to free the innocent, train law students, and work to change California laws. To submit a case for assistance, the inmate must maintain factual innocence for the convicted crime, and most importantly, new and robust evidence must exist. The new evidence includes DNA, witness recantations, government misconduct, ineffective counsel assistance, or new scientific evidence processing technologies. The inmate fills out the Case Screening Application and provides copies of the requested documents for review.

Community Law Project Receives Two Grants

Legal Professional Shaian Mohammadi is active in many organizations that aid minority and low-income groups. During his time as a law student, Shaian Mohammadi was involved with California Western Community Law Project (CLP), a non-profit providing free legal services to low-income communities in the greater San Diego area.

CLP recently received two grants to further support its ongoing mission. A grant of $5,000 from the Solana Beach Fund was awarded to CLP to help Solana Beach community members receive pro bono legal advice and education. The Solana Beach fund is part of the Coastal Community Foundation, which has donated over $130,000 in total grants to non-profit organizations wishing to improve the community.

CLP also received an additional grant of $10,000 from the American College of Bankruptcy Foundation. The grant is intended to support free legal aid to individuals with issues related to personal bankruptcy and consumer law. The foundation sponsors grants for legal research, individual scholarships, and funding for institutions that specifically help low-income and indigent communities.
