 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Lawyer Bernard Collaery's appeal against key information being kept secret in his trial is upheld as the Court of Appeal finds there is "a very real risk of damage to public confidence" in the justice system if the evidence isn't publicly disclosed. Mr Collaery is fighting five charges of revealing national security information to ABC journalists, and of conspiring with his co-accused Witness K — his former client and ex-spy — to reveal secret information to the East Timor government. The secret information relates specifically to allegations that Australia bugged East Timor's government building in 2004 to gain advantage in crucial oil and gas negotiations.

Focus of the Day Story: The Law Society has called on the government to devise a loan system for students taking the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE), warning that candidates from less privileged backgrounds could face a ‘significant barrier’ to the legal profession. In its spending review submission to the Treasury, the Law Society warned that SQE preparatory courses, plus the cost of the exams themselves, are likely to cost students over £20,000. This figure does not include any costs candidates incur for travel and accommodation. Full story - The Law Society Gazette

 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  When bus driver and single father of two Anthony Brathwaite was told he and his two children were no longer eligible for council housing in Lewisham, and was offered a property he could not afford outside the borough, he decided to fight back. Having left a council property in his name after his marriage broke down, Anthony was housed in temporary accommodation for two years, until the council reassessed his case, and ruled he had made himself intentionally homeless, and as a result was not eligible for council housing. After offering him a property outside the borough that cost more than half his take home pay as a London bus driver, Anthony decided to fight the eviction with the help of Unite, campaign groups and local people

 Today's Highlighted Video Story:  The Solicitors Regulation Authority has worked with the Bar Standards Board and CILEx Regulation to develop competences, resources and videos for lawyers who practise in inquests. Derek Winter DL, the Deputy Chief Coroner of England and Wales, has had input into these materials. In this video, he explains:
• what coroners expect from the lawyers who practise in inquests
• what the lawyers who practise in inquests should do to help them run smoothly

Focus of the Day Story: The Court of Appeal has ruled that an artificial intelligence machine cannot qualify as an “inventor” for the purposes of Sections 7 and 13 of the Patents Act because it is not a person. Further, in determining whether a person had the right to apply for a patent under Section 7(2)(b), there was no rule of law that new intangible property produced by existing tangible property was the property of the owner of the tangible property, and certainly no rule that property in an invention created by a machine was owned by the owner of the machine.
