“A leading human rights barrister has won his appeal against contempt of court proceedings, which were levelled at him for a closing speech in the trial of Palestine Action activists.

The court of appeal’s ruling on Tuesday in the case of Rajiv Menon KC comes as it has also emerged that four of the defendants found guilty in a retrial can be sentenced as terrorists”

“#Starmer and the #media need convictions to justify Palestine Action's proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny”

That's when the details of the case emerged - 2003. The article is poorly written.
Badenoch echoes Trump in asserting that a #barrister who acts for their client is otherwise joined to that client or their activity.
They of course believe whatever their #client tells them (or must withdraw) but sometimes question whether anyone else could be persuaded of it.

Barristers regard the cab rank as a fundamental principle. I of course believe them, and also observe those who don't.

The time I drew a barrister with nose and ear hair extensions. #barrister #wigs #HairExtensions #drawing

#women #law #misogyny #justice I doubt the people who really need to read this ever will. Wasn't #LINO #Starmer a junior #barrister?

Do I know any #English lawyers?

Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

When I look at US #politicians wearing their formal costumes, it reminds me of English #barrister's wearing gray wigs.

It is certainly not about respect. It is mostly about identity and conformity.

literally what the fuck does this even mean?

If you were curious about my legal permission to breathe within this un-submerged Earthling solid angle,
it's that.

If any UK book botherers want to enlighten me, please do.
Thank you for exactly zero legal advice in advance.

I will not be relying on it at all. (And frankly am at non-zero chance of forgetting it soon after.)

It is my understanding I'll maintain the same status but lapsed proof.

It is my experience and expectation that I'll become undocumented, and therefore human scum [sic].

"So while Starmer was not forced to accept foreign instructions under the cab rank rule, he was also not allowed to refuse them because of the nature of the client, under the non-discrimination rule."

#Burke complaint over court incident
https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2023/0328/1366730-burke-complaint/
<< it is continously amazing that the #Irish #legal profession takes no action over the actions of the Burkes.

Ammi is a qualified #solicitor, Simeon is a #barrister in training, and Enoch isn't daft - they all know what is acceptable and that they are damaging the reputation of Irish law.

Irish regulators tend to fiercely resist taking action until they are a laughing stock. Well, frankly, we are long past that point.
