During her recent visit to our office, Jane Spinak, a nationally recognized child advocate and author of ‘The End of Family Court,’ made a compelling argument for the abolition of family court. Spinak argues that the family court is an unnecessary institution that has failed in its mission and has contributed to the family regulation system that destroys the lives of many. So, what needs to change? Check out our latest blog to learn more and what Spinak proposes to bring about justice for children and families. https://ow.ly/AghU50Qsx84

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals is considering the attached pleadings for a writ of mandamus to compel the federal District Court’s ruling on a renewed motion to vacate the permanent injunction orders based upon the prior Alabama DPS administrative decision on 01/23/2024. The first question is whether the leave should be granted in accordance with the injunction orders. O’Neal cannot access the District Court for any order granting or denying leave because of a verbal alteration on 04/04/2022. The second question is whether O’Neal should have to post a $1k surety bond under bankruptcy circumstances. The answer is that federal law provides for a waiver of the filing fee and costs. The third question is whether O’Neal has any alternative remedy to the District Court denying access. No is the answer. O’Neal cannot appeal unless an order or judgment is issued. The fourth question is whether the District Court properly denies access contrary to the injunction orders. Answer is that the injunction orders provide access. Anything else would be uncivilized and unlawful according to the Fourteen Amendment of the United States Constitution. Id. The pleadings for a writ of mandamus should proceed based upon the above related facts and authorities presented. The District Court must grant access in accordance with the permanent injunction orders. Id.

Fighting for justice with all the proof of the crimes done can result in the following. The moment when we loose hope can bring drastic effects. Being from a judicial family where grandparents served as judicial officer, and so on and seeing that justice can be denied can bring the hopelessness of our mind. Justice delayed is justice denied. https://lnkd.in/g4SeZE67

How can this be right?

Family court needs to do better. The versus model is a breeding ground for perpetuating abuse and control; the lack of genuine curiosity from the system and their components of how to support children has shown to be globally lacking at best, complicit at worst. World-wide, it's seldom fact-based; it's about appearance, case preparation and often opinion and feelings of the judge matter the most. A minefield that's certain to impact socially marginalised people disproportionately.. creating more marginalisation in turn by subjecting children to harmful outcomes. We're losing entire generations who have grown up knowing they are being treated as property and subject only in terms someone else's legal rights. How are we to ever expect better outcomes for future generations if we keep making crosses for them to carry?

Jury deliberations for Karen Read’s cop/boyfriend-murder trial continue into a second day today. Her verdict may hinge on the uncovering of texts suggesting bias by the lead investigator. https://lnkd.in/gZjkNEQv Many cases hinge on a single piece of key evidence, sometimes even where that evidence does not go directly to the merits. If you are in in a lawsuit, you can help your lawyer by pointing out pieces of information you know or suspect exist outside your control. Your lawyer can help you get that information through discovery and it may make all the difference. Sometimes the other party hides or destroys evidence. That’s why I often like to find out whether the defendant uses a company to routinely back up its IT (something frequently done to protect from ransom ware). If so, it may not be a bad idea to subpoena that IT company for the same documents you requested from the opposing party. This can get you the real truth or can even result in a spoliation motion followed by a favorable settlement.

From a friend in the UK: The jury took 12 hours to convict him on all counts. Which makes you wonder: what on earth were they doing for the first 11 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds? Playing gin rummy? Drinking gin and tonic? Reading out the charge sheets really slowly? An update: I keep hearing that this verdict introduces all sorts of complications: should he go to prison or just be fined? What if he appeals? What if he goes to prison, but is then elected? But these are all easily resolved: h@** him now. (Gerwyn looks for simple and direct solutions) --------------- I think they were playing a brisk game of Tiddlywinks for the first 11 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. ----------------
