🛰️ What happens if space debris crashes through your roof?
It already has.
As more objects are launched into orbit, one question becomes increasingly important: Who can victims turn to when space debris causes harm?
Our latest blog examines why international space law still leaves many individuals without a clear path to justice—and why access to justice should extend beyond Earth.

When Respondents Rule - No Shocker And No Shaker | By Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op

What if a human rights system rewarded endurance instead of justice?
Donna J. Jodhan argues that when respondents can stretch timelines and outlast complainants with little consequence, delay becomes a strategy. Justice deferred is not only delayed. It is diluted.

A new report, co-authored by Defend Our Juries and the Centre for Climate Crime and Climate Justice at Queen Mary University, has been released this morning.
The report, entitled Britain's Political Prisoners, argues that significant changes in the legal and political landscape surrounding protest have expanded anti-protest legislation and the increased use of harsher penalties.

Pretty shocking intervention from MP Karl Turner during PMQs, saying that when he questioned the government's plans to restrict jury trials, the No 10 operation issued hostile briefings against him and questioned his mental health.
Residents in Lancaster staged a protest outside the castle yesterday, as part of a nationwide campaign to protect the right to jury trial:
The Courts and Tribunals Bill will see a single judge replace a jury for cases where a prison sentence of three years or less is expected.
@3mpwrApp built this ML system to reduce one of the biggest barriers to justice: unknown outcomes.
By analyzing 50,000+ Ontario tribunal decisions, we’re uncovering patterns to reduce uncertainty and improve access to justice.
Less uncertainty. Better data. Better outcomes.
@3mpwrApp built a machine learning (ML) system that classified 50,161 Ontario tribunal decisions across 6 tribunals.
Initial results show 85.1% classification success.
We’re now manually reviewing 592 decisions to validate real-world accuracy.
Below 70%: improve the model.
Above 70%: publish the validation report.
Transparency matters. Better data. Better access to justice.
We’re @3mpwrApp building Ontario’s legal intelligence system to turn 50,161 tribunal decisions into actionable insights for injured workers, persons with disabilities, and advocates.
📊 Goal: Improve known outcomes from 16.8% to 70–80%
⚖️ Open-source, transparent, and free forever
🇨🇦 Ontario is the template for Canada

Every tribunal decision we analyze helps improve @3mpwrApp
The more accurate data we collect, the better we can build:
🌟 Knowledge bases
🌟 Step-by-step guides
🌟 Templates and checklists
🌟 Visualizations and analytics
This research directly feeds our flywheels.
Better data → Better tools → Better support → Better outcomes for injured workers and persons with disabilities.
That’s why we’re building in public.

🚨 New 3mpwrApp research: Analysis of 3,186 HRTO decisions found 73.5% of detected outcomes were abandonments, with email issues cited in 70.1% of abandoned cases.
The math doesn’t work...
ODSP: $1,368/month
Average 1-bedroom rent in Ontario: $2,200+/month
That leaves a deficit of $832 before food, medication, transportation, or phone bills.
Every ONSBT appeal is about more than paperwork...
The stakes are survival !
New research from 3mpwrApp
We analyzed how structural barriers in ONSBT disability appeals can exclude vulnerable communities before the hearing even begins.
Key finding: many people are not denied because they are ineligible—they are excluded by the process.
New research from 3mpwrApp
We analyzed 13,798 Ontario Social Benefits Tribunal decisions from 2020–2026.
Our key finding: the public data reveals how the system works—but not whether it is fair.

We analyzed 1,204 WSIB tribunal decisions.
Not to study them.
To turn them into something people can actually use.
→ 6 plain-language guides
→ 3 professional appeal templates
→ Built from real case patterns
→ 100% free
This is what access to justice should look like.

🚨 SCALE UPDATE 🚨
We’re ramping fast.
🔢 Target: 10,000+ decisions
🇨🇦 Coverage: Every province & territory
🏛️ Including: Federal tribunals + all major bodies
This builds a complete pattern history of Canadian decisions across disability, workers’ comp, and rights cases.
⏱️ Estimated runtime: 2–4+ hours

This is where stories turn into signals.
Where patterns expose what’s really happening behind decisions.
Not theory. Not opinion.Just the data.
More insights coming soon.

⏳ Next phase: Backfilling ALL cases prior to 2024
This isn’t just data collection.
This is pattern recognition.
This is accountability at scale.
Every decision tells a story.
Now we’re making sure none of them get buried.
Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
Great to be back at the WZB!

Saw this first from a Bleat-sky post—lawyering appearing for the DOJ in U.S. v. Letitia James filed a bad PDF and was given instructions on how to file a proper one—but wanted to dig a bit more into it. If you search for "pdf" and "notice of error" in the doc descriptions, you can see plenty (wrong form, bad PDFs, etc.). Makes me wonder how many cases have issues and why the fillable/non-fillable form issue seems so common.

Preparing to teach legal research and writing for the first time in awhile. I'm not a Bluebook fan but, with a new edition, updated my tab system from the last edition I used heavily and upped my color game! The system is a money spinner for elite law schools. So glad to see Illinois' lenient citation approach. I'm hoping to help shift students to the free Indigo Book (https://indigobook.github.io/) and plug public domain citation formats.
