Today's Video Focus: Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the Union Minister of Minority Affairs, has said that there are sufficient laws to deal with crimes like lynching. He also told NDTV in an exclusive interview that nobody should be forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram". Mr Naqvi's comment was seen as significant in the backdrop of a Jharkhand government report today that said lapses by police and doctors killed a 24-year-old Muslim man, Tabrez Ansari, who was tied to a pole, thrashed and forced to shout "Jai Shri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman" by a mob last month.

12th July - Law News

2753rd Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based legal news & articles archive since 2011 focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Litigation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's Video Focus: In 2012, Kansas passed one of the largest income tax cuts in the state’s history. Today, it serves as a cautionary tale.

Focus of the Day Article:

Blockchain - It was only back in mid-2015, while speaking at a couple of legal conferences (one on Client Growth Strategies) to audiences of firm leaders and CMOs, that I would ask: 'Show of hands, how many of you have heard of blockchain?' - only to confront an audience that had no idea what I was talking about.  Fortunately, I would speculate that most of these same folks have now heard of blockchain and have some notion of what the label refers to . . . but do they really?

11th July - Law News

2752nd Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based legal news & articles archive since 2011 focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Litigation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's Video Focus: Understaffing, a toxic culture and pressure to meet unrealistic targets at the national health regulator are risking public safety, according to whistleblowers. AHPRA , the Australian health practitioners' regulation agency, is charged with investigating and disciplining more than seven hundred thousand doctors, nurses and other medical staff. But in this video, former senior AHPRA investigators speak out, warning the agency isn't doing its job properly.

Focus of the Day Article:

The president of the Supreme Court has taken the constitutionally unusual step of publicly criticising a bill that is making its way through parliament. Lady Hale said the Divorce (Financial Provision) Bill, introduced by crossbench peer Baroness Deech, was 'more threatening' to the support system of the family than the perceived threat from no-fault divorce. Lady Hale made her comments in a speech entitled 'What is a 21st Century Family', delivered at the International Centre for Family Law, Policy and Practice on 1 July but published by the Supreme Court yesterday.

Today's Video Focus: Two sisters, who say they suffered years of abuse at the hands of their own father, have become the latest Saudi women to flee the Kingdom. Draconian guardianship laws mean every Saudi woman is assigned a male guardian, usually a father or husband, whose permission is needed to marry, travel and even play sports. Women, throughout their lives, are always treated as minors. Dua and Dalal say they fear being "disappeared" if their father tracks them down.

Focus of the Day Article:

Achieving buy-in for technology regulation from everyone involved in lawtech – from developers to users – is crucial to it working well, a new analysis has suggested. It also stressed the importance of regulators consulting on proposed regulatory change and being willing to change course if necessary, depending on the responses that came back.
