  4. A picture from the same 1856 American children’s book features some animals having a court case. Lots of puns with “bar’ in them, i think as an old word for bark.

  5. The ban on #InternationalStudents would also impact #HarvardLaw's Juris Doctor [the graduate program for every #lawyer in the #US] & Doctor of Juridical Science programs. Each #JD class of 560 typically includes 45 to 50 intl students—about 9%—for a total of about 150 #students spread across 3 classes. The #SJD, which is for aspiring #legal #academics & typically has ~60 people enrolled, also draws heavily from overseas.

  10. Hey everyone, I know both Zain & his wife, Sophia. We all worked together for #SaveOldGrowth & #StopEcocide work here in #BritishColumbia. What's happened to Zain is unjust & I'm asking you all to please read this whole post & sign the #petition. Thanks for your time & help. Please boost for wider reach.

    * Last week, Prime Minister #MarkCarney revealed Lena Metledge Diab will serve as Canada’s new Immigration Minister.

    The first thing Diab should do as Minister is bring #ClimateActivist Zain Haq back to Canada by greenlighting his Temporary Residence Permit that has been processing since January.

    Zain was deported to Pakistan in January for climate activism that resulted in low-level mischief charges. He’d been living in Canada his entire adult life, and with his Canadian wife, Sophia Papp, since 2023.

    Sophia has been given the devastating choice to remain in Canada without her spouse or relocate to #Pakistan , where she doesn’t speak the language and faces significant barriers to her health and wellbeing.

    A mere 48 hours before Zain was deported, he and Sophia’s Spousal Sponsorship application was rejected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) without substantive explanation.

    The couple’s lawyer, Randall Cohn, has stated that this eleventh-hour rejection is likely illegal. It also denied Zain and Sophia’s right to procedural fairness, since they didn’t have time to access the appeal process enshrined in the #BillOfRights.

    Zain and Sophia’s situation is reminiscent of the #unethical treatment of many #migrants in the U.S.

    #IRCC ’s last minute rejection of a young couple’s Sponsorship Application without substantive reason should raise alarm bells for anyone of conscience, but especially for those with a #legal background – and before getting into #politics , Minister Diab was a #lawyer in Halifax. That’s why we have to get Zain’s file on her desk as soon as possible. *

  11. Having served only since 2017, Johnson has the least experience of any House Speaker in 140 years. He filed fake suits in four states to overturn a free & fair election, even tried to get the Supreme Court to install Donald as Caesar. He's anti-choice, anti-marriage-equality, & second in line to the Presidency.

  15. #Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
    #Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.

  16. #Lauro argued that he needed ample time to review the #evidence & prepare a #defense for #Trump.
    
“This man’s liberty & life is at stake & he deserves an adequate representation,” Lauro said. “As an experienced defense #lawyer, we cannot do this in the time frame that the government has outlined.”
    #Chutkan replied: “I understand, Mr. Lauro but you are not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026.”

  17. John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
    
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.

    As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.
