Today's Video Focus:  America's top court has ruled that employers who fire workers for being gay or transgender are breaking the country's civil rights laws. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court said federal law, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, should be understood to include sexual orientation and gender identity. The ruling is a major win for LGBT workers and their allies. And it comes even though the court has grown more conservative. Lawyers for the employers had argued that the authors of the 1964 Civil Rights Act had not intended it to apply to cases involving sexual orientation or transgender. The Trump administration sided with that argument.


Focus of the Day Article: The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) has backed a new report on the regulation of legal services south of the border. Full story - Scottish Legal News
