Focus of the Day Law Article: Legal educator BPP has rebutted claims that it degraded the quality of teaching during lockdown and prioritised students with prestigious training contracts.

Today's Highlighted Video Story: The real crime in the Breonna Taylor case was the events that led Louisville police to Taylor's home and said the police work that led to the warrant was "very sloppy."
A former police officer was indicted only on first-degree wanton endangerment charges for his actions on the night Breonna Taylor was killed by police.
Two other officers who also fired shots during the botched March raid were not indicted, meaning no officer was charged with killing the 26-year-old Black EMT and aspiring nurse. After the decision was announced, members of the Kentucky National Guard and state police were activated as protesters took to the streets and some clashes erupted with officers in riot gear.
