Privy Council allows Jason Jones' appeal: Trinidad and Tobago's 1986 sexual offences provisions are new law, not saved 'existing law', and 'tradition' alone can't justify criminalising private, consensual sex between same-sex adults. jcpc.uk/uploads/jcpc_2025_00…

It’s absolutely insane that anyone at @UBC involved in this debacle still has their job.

A thirty-year lease for state land on monos island, signed weeks before the 2025 general election, triggered debate in parliament during recent standing finance committee deliberations.
The lease involves a company co-owned by Senior Counsel Michael Quamina, former TPHL chairman, and attorney to former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley.
Quamina has denied any wrongdoing.
Sharlene Rampersad and cameraman Ricardo St Bernard visited Turtle Bay this week and filed this report.

"Lawyers who refuse to use it get replaced first. The ones who master it stay employed longer."
That part.
Brutally honest: AI already beats most juniors at research, review, and first drafts. It will swallow the bulk of that work in 3-5 years.
Full replacement of a licensed lawyer? Not before the early 2030s at best, and only if liability rules and courts collapse. AI still hallucinates, cannot own the risk, stand in court, or handle the human mess of clients and strategy.
Lawyers who refuse to use it get replaced first. The ones who master it stay employed longer.

Wow. For years, an official in Arkansas allegedly tampered with bar exam scores, pulling points from some test takers and giving them to others.
This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the requisite threshold.
