proceedings

I hope these proceedings don't let loose the primary entities at fault who ordered the financial warfare.

Sony wouldn't care if their legal proceedings ruined your families lives, directly or indirectly.

This issue will no doubt be revisited at trial, but at this stage of the proceedings we cannot say that the district court clearly erred. Copying APIs leaves no room for individualized expression.

All of the current proceedings are a sideshow which have nothing to do with the things he'd accused of. He's accused of sexual offenses in Sweden, we have a working system of arrest warrants across Europe.

Obviously the local law is relevant in legal proceedings and I want to respect survivors of sexual assault, but what else do we call it?

I've talked with engineers who despise legal proceedings so much they started trolling the lawyers in depositions. Honestly I'd rather build something cool than think for five hours about how to get people to care about patent law.

Because there is an insufficient record as to the relevant fair use factors, we remand for further proceedings on Google’s fair use defense. Some further detail found later on: On balance, we find that due respect for the limit of our appellate function requires that we remand the fair use question for a new trial.

In this particular case, the company in question is requesting the expedited return of a seized domain, while legal proceedings are still going on. In order to secure such a ruling, they would need to show that not having the domain for the duration of the trial would actually be crippling, not merely inconvenient.

I appreciate what you're doing, but you just wrote an essay full of legal advice, including conclusions on how the proceedings will go -- something you really shouldn't predict. By putting the words "this isn't legal advice" before your comment, you aren't magically making it okay to give your opinion in the guise of advice.

The school immediately started expulsion proceedings without even contacting me. Fortunately, my advisor personally addressed the issue and had everything dropped.

As a lawyer who has represented school children in Broward and Miami-Dade disciplinary and IEP proceedings, I have been involved in some outrageous cases. For example in one IEP matter the school refused to purchase a deaf student a ~$50 reading program violating her Constitutional right to free and appropriate education, only after retaining a lawyer did the school comply.

The United States' criminal justice system, as a particular hodgepodge of incentives, disincentives, esoteric proceedings, privileged access, violent sentencing, plea pressure, and power-tripping careerism -- irrespective of cruel laws -- is a deeply failed model in the context of ethics. It's a very 'successful' model in other contexts.

In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power "extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment."

Third, courts typically don't post private proceedings on the internet - you'd be amazed how many things you wouldn't be able to "find anything" about via a google search. If he's being held for contempt in relation to a case that he's not actually a defendant in, I imagine it'd be really bloody difficult to find a whole lot about that online, and in either case I can't imagine any sane lawyer giving him the green light to post on the internet details about a case for which he's already being held in contempt.

Being homeless is not a zero-cost alternative to real treatment; in many cases, the cost of lavish treatment is far lower than the cost of ER visits and criminal proceedings that would otherwise be incurred. I believe Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article about chronic homelessness a few years ago, about Denver rolling out a program to take some number of homeless folks and set them up in an apartment free of charge with on-site nursing 24/7, and it was saving the city millions just by keeping them out of the ER. I believe the program ultimately came under fire because of how essentially un-American such a system is, even when it makes both ethical and financial sense.

Those who genuinely believe that weev should be prosecuted and imprisoned for his actions may wish to consider if the same call should be made for criminal proceedings against the larger scale and more clearly profit driven data theft actions taken by large and well funded companies such as Twitter, Path, Facebook, Apple, and many others.

Is there any substantive difference in extradition proceedings from the UK or Sweden? The US could seek extradition from the UK. It is argued by Assange's defenders that it is easier from Sweden and a UK judge may well throw out the request as being politically motivated whereas extradition from Sweden, it is argued, can be done politically rather than through the courts. How true is this? 5. Sweden has refused to not extradite Assange, should he return, to the US. How normal is this? Can Sweden legally do this? I know EU countries have, in the past, as a condition of extradition required the US to guarantee that the death penalty won't be sought or applied. I assume in those cases that is a real issue so it seems like there is some room for movement when it comes to extradition; 6. What is the status of Assange's legal proceedings against extradition to Sweden?
