The Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations are both threatening legal action now that the province has passed the Saskatchewan First Act.
Both the FSIN and MN-S called the government out for lack of consultation both before the bill was drafted and as the bill worked its way through the legislature.

I’m working on a comparative paper about animal-focused tourism.
Today I learned that the Koala was listed as endangered in February 2022.
I did not realize the Koala was only recently listed. I was under the impression it had been listed some time ago, but that was only threatened status.
Someone I know once told me "never assume malice when stupidity will suffice."
At what point does stupidity, laziness, ignorance, unwillingness to follow up, etc. become malicious?
Asking for a friend.

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented Monday as the Supreme Court wiped out a federal appeals court ruling that upheld the right of a minor to go to court to obtain permission to seek an abortion without parental notification.”
“Jackson emphasized that, in her view, “mere disagreement with the decision that one seeks to have vacated cannot suffice” to justify the unusual step.”

How A Men’s Rights NGO Got The Delhi High Court To Hear Arguments To Keep Marital Rape Legal
In more than 150 countries, it is a crime to rape your wife but not in India, a position supported by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Driven by an unwavering conviction that women have been misusing laws to harass men, men’s rights activists in India battle to keep it that way, using legal arguments—the Supreme Court will hear them in March—political lobbying and an aggressive social media campaign.

It's a process issue. DOJ functions on process and this investigation is on the books the longest period of time in the scope of active investigations. States go first and the FED builds on any information that is discovered.
Legal order of operations.
The "right to privacy" is in conflict with property rights.
People who want privacy ought to take preventative measures to preserve their privacy, but claiming that we have a right to privacy is an affront to liberty and truth.
Steven Beschloss writes,
"At least four law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press, said the initial discussions concern security, planning and the practical operations of a potential appearance by Trump in the Manhattan court. Signaling they know what’s coming, Trump’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina told the AP that, if Trump is indicted, 'we will follow the normal procedures.'”

"Trump continues to be everything Congressman Adam Schiff admonished Senators he was during impeachment-someone who would damage our national security again if not reined in, someone who truth and what’s right doesn’t matter to."
“Previously, I had said if Trump was arrested or under the threat of a perp walk, 100,000 patriots should shut down all routes to Mar-a-Lago…. Now I’m retired. I’ll pray for him though!”

A recent unanimous ruling by the very-Republican North Dakota Supreme Court is a small victory for human rights and a welcome island of relief in a dismal sea of gleeful and too-often euphoric cruelty—the unifying theme of the "modern" GOP's activism.
"We will soon see if other states’ courts follow suit or if they agree with the now-mainstream Republican position that a fetus’ life simply matters more than the patient who is carrying it."

NEW ARTICLE: Religious Liberty for All? A Religious Right to Abortion
link:https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4375866
The Supreme Court has been supremely generous with religious exemptions, at least when sought by conservative Christians.
The resulting expansive religious liberty doctrine should mean that Jews seeking religious exemptions from abortion bans should also prevail.
Not likely.

Remember: Silicon Valley VCs (especially guys like Sam Altman) *hate* lawyers. Absolutely hate them. Lawyers are a nuisance to guys like that because they either (1) tell them that they can't shouldn't do all the f*cked up things they want to do; or (2) sue them when they go ahead and do those things anyway.
So it's no surprise that they used the bar exam as a way to show off the capabilities of the next generation of GPT. Who needs lawyers when AI can pass the bar?

1. Machines cannot be an "author" (p.4).
2. Whether a work can be copyrighted depends on whether an author's "own original mental conception" is given a "visible form" (p.6).
3. When only machines determine the expressive elements of a work, it's not protected (p.7).
4. A work mixing human and machine effort has to have "sufficient" human authorship to be protected, and the protection only covers the "human-authored aspects" (p.8)

Der halbe März ist um, und die Masken in den Öffis sind inzwischen noch einmal deutlich weniger geworden.
Anekdotenhaft glauben viele Leute, dass Masken jetzt verboten sind. (Diese Ansicht wurde ja auch mit Nachdruck von den Gratisblättern verbreitet.) Nein, das stimmt nicht.
Das "Anti-Gesichtsverhüllungsgesetz" (beschlossen von SPÖ und OVP, nicht türkisblau, in Kraft seit Oktober 2017) ist kurz und durchaus lesbar: https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=20009892. Leicht zu erkennen ist die Ausnahme für "gesundheitliche Gründe".
Der "Gesundheitsminister" und die österreichische Polizei haben den vergangenen Tagen öffentlich (auf Twitter(?!) 🙈) klargestellt, dass die Ausnahme für MNS und FFP2 gilt. Angeblich ist ein Erlass dazu in Arbeit.
Auch auf der Webseite der Republik sind "Mund- und Nasen-Schutzmasken, Atemschutzmasken" bei "Infektionsgefahr" ausdrücklich Beispiele für gesundheitliche Gründe: https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/themen/leben_in_oesterreich/aufenthalt/Seite.120251.html
Und selbst wenn: Gegen das "Anti-Gesichtsverhüllungsgesetz" zu verstoßen ist eine Verwaltungsübertretung, also so schlimm wie Falschparken. Dafür gibt es eine Ermahnung oder Geldstrafe ("bis zu 150 Euro").
Nicht zu verwechseln übrigens mit dem Vermummungsverbot, das bei "Versammlungen", aka Demonstrationen, gilt, und im Versammlungsgesetz geregelt ist. Öffi fahren ist keine Versammlung.

In my years of practice I've learned that the most important thing you can do as an attorney (besides offering competent representation) is to regularly communicate with your clients.
Responding to clients within 24 hours is a good rule of thumb. They shouldn't have to chase after you.
Also, give them realistic timelines for when you can get projects done. If it's going to take a while tell them.
And when sh*t happens tell them that immediately. NEVER bullsh*t your clients.
An interesting point from The Code of Capital about the pervasive and increasing use of mandatory arbitration in corporate disputes, especially internationally:
"This also puts lawyers in a strange and potentially quite vulnerable position. They depend on the authority of state law, but they avoid the courts, the law's traditional guardians, for fear that they might interfere with their coding work."
