This!! This is why I really like criminal justice work. You are going to encounter people who have various attitudes towards marginalized populations. I’ve worked with clients who I would not assume are particularly friendly towards certain groups, like women and the lgbt community. I also do academic work on prison and liberation history and there are many figures who have said and done terrible things. But you will never ever ever convince me that they don’t deserve fair treatment. Because yes they are often very misguided or sometimes hateful (though not as frequently as people think) but they are human. That’s why I solidly believe that if your attitude towards incarcerated people is blanket punitive, you aren’t really dedicated to liberation.

i think a lot of liberals need to confront the fact that they don’t actually believe everyone should have basic human rights. a homeless person could call me every slur under the sun and i would still want them to have housing, food, etc. the belief that everyone is entitled to basic human rights should not hinge on whether you “like” someone or not. at that point the entire ideology crumbles.

Morning study ft. Criminal law 📚

I’d like to point out that if someone accidentally loses a tooth as a result of shower sex, that’s probably criminal in Alberta. But not someone losing a tooth from being punched in the face as part of a boxing match.

I don’t know about you, but that does feel a bit weird.

Who would have guessed; our middleaged paedo client has decided to transition right after getting imprisonable charges.

It's sunny and very hot outside.

I'll have a trip next week. To enjoy it , today I read some text books.

Ok that was absolutely precious. I need more of the Bau interacting with the others's love interests/families.

I just want to talk about how "The Devil Judge" is one of the best kdrama's ever, the plot? fire! The acting? Top notch! The characters are relatable. The writing is so beautiful I could actually cry, Strong female characters (i support their wrongs and their rights) And yes the sexual tension between the two male leads - its not defined but trust me, friends don't look at friends that way.

It's essentially the Korean version of Hannibal minus the Serial killers and cannibalism.

[knifefightingbears]

I'm pretty sure a client has passed me a note saying "THIS CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED BY THE JUDGE" while I am trying to cross examine the key witness, so I guess what I'm saying is I kind of feel for Trump's lawyers

Studying in the fresh air ft. the extremely heavy stack I have to bring to school on Mondays 😫

[floral-ashes]

Law students expect infinitely more coherence from the law than the law is able to provide.

Nothing about criminal law makes sense. Teaching criminal law is an exercise in pretending it makes sense just long enough for students to be able to write an exam about it.

My internal monologue during course preparation: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I hope my students don’t ask about this.”

It’s not that I don’t know the topic well enough to answer. It’s that I have a table of Supreme Court decisions where they give five different answers to the question.

And yes, of course, I can just tell them it doesn’t make sense. I can remind them that the system exists to reproduce racial capitalism, not to make sense. But that’s deeply dissatisfying to most of them. They want certainty, otherwise they feel like they’re not on track to becoming a competent lawyer.

Modern au FengQing

Feng Xin as Police Officer

Mu Qing as Detective

Them always throwing offensive remarks at each other, but being the first to rescue the other.

This idea was stuck in my head so I had to make it into a moodboard, of course.

I could see them being the more aggressive version of Sherlock and John.
