Today's Video Focus: Venezuela's political crisis appears to be reaching boiling point amid growing efforts by the opposition to unseat the socialist president, Nicolás Maduro.

Today's Video Focus: Pranab Mukherjee, former President, has been awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, along with music legend Bhupen Hazarika and social activist Nanaji Deshmukh. Many believe the choice of Pranab Mukherjee, a lifelong Congressman, for the top award delivers a less-than-subtle political message in election season. Pranab Mukherjee, 83, was president when the BJP came to power after a spectacular victory in the 2014 national election, ending the Congress-led Government's 10-year rule.

Today's Video Focus: Farmers are calling for the animal rights group Aussie Farms to be stripped of its charity status and have its Facebook page taken down. The group launched an online map showing the location and contact details for hundreds of farms across the country, linking them to animal cruelty. Aussie Farms says the initiative is about increasing transparency but Agriculture Minister David Littleproud is warning the site "could be creating an attack map for activists".

Focus of the Say Article:

On 3 and 4 December 2018, the first International Forum on Online Courts was held in London.  There were 300 delegates from about 30 different countries.  It undertook an international review of what is happening in many countries around the world.  It looked at technological issues, matters of access to justice, practicalities for lawyers and the judiciary, examples of innovations and lessons to be learned.  It was co-organised by the Society for Computers and Law (SCL) and by Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) which, in the UK, runs the court service.

23rd January - Law News

2584th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based news & legal articles archive focusing on Law, Lawyers, Law Firms, Justice, Legislation, Legal Ethics, Human Rights & Social Justice issues.

Today's Video Focus: The Welsh government today cleared its diary in the assembly for ministers to announce one by one what the impact would be of leaving the EU in 66 days without a deal. Their view is clear - they can't be ready for no withdrawal agreement, no transition period and no agreements on trade. And the Labour First Minister went further than his leader in London, saying if there is no deal by next week he will back a second referendum. But the biggest intervention came in Brussels where for the first time the European Commission said a no-deal Brexit would lead to a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Focus of the Say Article:

Lawtech can provide a “virtuous circle” that simultaneously both improves access to justice and delivers social, ethnic and gender mobility to the upper reaches of the legal profession, according to a senior judge.
