With the #ControlledDigitalLending #CDL case coming on Monday (3/20) @jziskina and I are excited to announce the release of “The Publisher Playbook: A Brief History of the Publishing Industry’s Obstruction of the #Library Mission.” [link at end of thread] /1
The purpose of this paper is to outline the legal & other obstructions that #libraries have encountered from the publishing industry. Libraries have continued to perform their routine activities or made advancements to increase #access to the public in innovative ways... /2
...yet, #libraries and their readers have routinely engaged in lengthy battles to defend the ability for libraries to fulfill their mission and serve the #publicgood.

When the Judges look at it again, I would submit that they should consider it solely on the basis of individual rights based on personal choice in the matter of dress and attire where the choice poses neither threat noor risk of harm to any third person.

To bring religion into the question before the Court would be to conflate the matter beyond logic. It is not the Court's role in a secular democracy to decide matters of religion or religious practice - questions that are best left in the private domain for individuals to decide.
'Big Eyes' (2014) was on the TV the other day. It doesn't mention abuse or #CoerciveControl and most disturbingly (or well-fittingly) it is a Weinstein production but it is actually an excellent watch to follow the dynamics of coercive and controlling behaviour and its impact./1
The story begins with Margaret just having left her husband and the father of her daughter. He is described as controlling. We get a feeling of her escaping an abusive home. He attempts to remove her from M's care by claiming that she is 'mental unwell'./2
M attempts to rebuild their life. She gets a job in a new city and channels a lot of her love, energy and time into her paintings. She meets Walter while selling paintings on the street. She is in a vulnerable place and needs stable people that she can trust and lean on. /3
While adding index to Chapter 11 #Vedic #Courts in Tamil Nadu, the Land of Vedas (#TTLV) authored by my father Dr. #Nagaswamy, I came across this fantastic reference that Appa quotes "Ancient Hindu Judicature" authored by G.R. Rao in the year 1920.

Second, our courses can provide valuable insights to help students who are struggling with nicotine addiction. They can use their time in suspension learning about the consequences of their actions and habits rather that getting a few days off from school.

Thread : What to keep in mind while arguing criminal cases involving finnancial frauds.
1) In cases involving murders etc, human emotions are involved. Various kinds of human circumstances evoke emotions that lead to the crime of murder. All these human factors are relevant.
1) In cases involving murders etc, human emotions are involved. Various kinds of human circumstances evoke emotions that lead to the crime of murder. All these human factors are relevant.
2/ So even if it may look that the crime is such that death penalty should be given, when a lawyer minutely works on a series of emotional issues that lead upto the very minute of the crime, the judge may decide not to give death penalty.
3/ But cases involving financial frauds are different. Here the have usually zero sympathy towards accused.
These criminal cases of finnancial frauds are quite different. Sometimes amounts are huge and sometimes the amounts are very small..

Alas! Alas ! Alas ! If someone had told me this when I was young. I wish someone had told me then that “The Road of Goals is filled with pebbles of gold.”
All I needed to do was to lift pebbles and to finish goals mentioned under the pebbles.

2/ To understand a cryptic section, we #lawyers and #judges, read a sentence twice, thrice or till we understand meaning of each word.
If you will read earlier tweet in this thread again, you may find that the pebbles on the road to goals are very heavy.

3/ As I came out from the college, I saw that my friends were focusing on picking up pebbles of gold on the road of goals. I however kept gazing at stars, kept reading books and became an idealist. I did not gave much importance to pebbles.

Then many other publications came, like Judgement Today, SCALE, and several other weekly and daily reports came and they used to be cited..

Kerala film director Ali Akbar reveals he was victim of sexual abuse at madrasa. After 40 years he opened his mouth to narrate the horrible abuse he had to suffer at the Madrassa after he confided in one Kerala journalist Rajeena. Both being threatened now.
All this he revealed about five years back and when asked about speaking now, he said because of the fear from his religion, he could not muster courage to speak earlier. He also revealed that many of his friends spoke to him to have suffered similar abuses in Madrasas.
Ali Akbar had spoken all this in a
conversation on @CNNnews18 with Shreya Dondiyal. Here is the story - "Kerala film director Ali Akbar reveals he was victim of sexual abuse at Madrasa, when he was 8 years old in class 4 only.": news18.com/videos/india/k…

First, the best way, I think, is to assert based on the US laws. That means, they can be responsible for violating the laws of the US especially concerning fake news. But, due to the First Amendment that provides wider protection to freedom of speech this task is no easy. 2/14
The reason is simple, the US does not have laws against fake news. Of course there is fake news. But the US law favors freedom of speech more. They have their own philosophy. Yet, that does not mean freedom of speech is absolute. 3/14

Από την Δευτέρα 30η Νοεμβρίου 2020 μέχρι και τώρα που γράφονται αυτές οι γραμμές, το σύνολο των Διοικητικών Δικαστηρίων της χώρας, καθώς και το Συμβούλιο της Επικρατείας έχουν απενεργοποιημένους διαδικτυακούς τόπους παρακολούθησης πορείας υποθέσεων. #ejustice #courts #lawyerslife
Αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι ενδιαφερόμενοι δεν έχουν πρόσβαση στα δεδομένα που τους αφορούν, δηλαδή δεν μπορούν να ενημερωθούν για τις δικαστικές αποφάσεις που ήδη έχουν εκδοθεί και να τις διαβάσουν ή έστω να ενημερωθούν για την πορεία των υποθέσεών τους.
Υποθέτω (δεν το έχω δοκιμάσει) ότι δεν υπάρχει και η δυνατότητα κατάθεσης δικογράφου νέας υπόθεσης αυτές τις 3 ημέρες.

In 2019, writing the decision for Common Cause v. Rucho, Chief Justice Roberts closed off the federal courts as an avenue for addressing partisan #gerrymandering, instead telling citizens to propose state constitutional amendments.
In many states, with statehouses #gerrymandered beyond reach of the people, or otherwise beholden to special interests, these citizen-amendments are the only avenue left for addressing #democracy reform and other policy concerns.
#Indian #Courts and #Judges, especially in the #SupremeCourt are honest upright and independent. They do NOT deliver judgements that the #Government tells them to. They are fiercely independent and uphold the(ir) right to free speech at great cost to themselves.
They spend sleepless night and work long hours to produce detailed judgements that explain their difficult reasoning in flowery language that ordinary people find impenetrable.
They do Not seek post-retirement jobs from the Government and so their judgements in favour of against citizens are explained by the foolishness of ordinary Indian citizens who persist in breaking the law by saying mean and nasty things about judges

1] Around the 20th of May, the 2014 #NationalCouncil of the MDC-T petitioned the holding of a #NationalCouncil meeting to discuss the infamous #CovidRuling and the way forward.
Predictably, #Mwonzora rubbished the calls for the meeting & even demanded that it be suspended.

It subsequently made resolutions, key amongst them, cautioning DM to stop speaking on their behalf & acting unilaterally.
A petition was signed to have DM call for a #NC meeting on the 6th of June.
