    “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”

  5. Sir Nikhilesh Dutta (born January 5, 1939) is a Bangladeshi #barrister who was #calledToTheBar as a Member of the Honourable Society of the #InnerTemple, #London, England. For his contribution in promoting inter-religious harmony, he was conferred with a #knighthood as a #KnightBachelor by #QueenElizabethII in 2007. Dutta, with a legal practice in the #SupremeCourtOfBangladesh, was the first national who was called to the Bar as a barrister on 8 February 1972 from independent Bangladesh.

  6. @alanferrier
    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.

  7. 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.

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

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

  9. 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].

  14. The US backs voluntary agreements in the global AI regulation debate, the EU mandates strict laws, and tech leaders lobby against heavy regulation. The discussion extends to open-source AI versus restricted access, highlighting the tension between fostering innovation and mitigating risks. Key figures use examples like AI deepfakes to influence policy.

  25. #Burke complaint over court incident
    rte.ie/news/courts/2023/0328/1
    << 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.

    #Beijing will be invited to intervene to prevent #JimmyLai engaging UK #Barrister in his upcoming #NationalSecurityLaw trial after #HongKong’s top court upheld an earlier decision to allow Lai to engage the services of Tim Owen, KC.

    So much for #OneCountryTwoSystems, #JudicialIndependence, and the #RuleOfLaw existing in Hong Kong.
