Honored & humbled to receive the Singhvi-Trinity Scholarship to pursue my LLM at Cambridge barandbench.com/news/indepen…

I will give a hybrid course on the ontology of situations and situation-like entities, especially their part-whole structure, and the role of those entities in semantics, especially truthmaker semantics. Interested online participants welcome: friederike-moltmann.com/teac…

#KnowOurFaculty "I fondly recall my first interaction with NLS back in 2019, while I was still working at CLPR. I was struck by how well-read the students were. I am thrilled to now be joining the vibrant intellectual community here. Prior to joining NLS, I pursued an LLM from Cambridge on a full scholarship. I'm currently working on two research projects. The first arose out of my Cambridge dissertation, wherein I critiqued the Indian Supreme Court’s borrowing of Canadian indirect discrimination doctrine. The second interrogates variations in standards of review in fundamental rights adjudication to uncover issues of legal indeterminacy." Read more about @BrunnerJ at nls.ac.in/faculty/jai-chande…

Flying Ratan Tata's Air India by coincidence today

Chiquita was just held liable in a Florida court for paying Colombian death squads to police their plantations. Couldn't help but think of Rivera's La Gloriosa Victoria. Eisenhower righteously doing the United Fruit Company's dirty work. For what? cheap bananas

Visualized another way: Clarence Thomas took in ~$4 million in gifts over the last 20 years (and only disclosed $2.4M worth). That's a total haul 5.6x larger than the other 16 justices combined. cc: @FixTheCourt

The BJP has dropped compilation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) from its manifesto that was released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 14. NRC was one of the prominent poll promises in the party’s 2019 manifesto. thehindu.com/elections/lok-s…

At the very same time, the Israeli government is bombarding the over 1.3 million displaced Palestinians they forced into Rafah with no escape. The reality these Palestinians are facing is a stark contradiction to the Israeli military’s designation of Rafah as a “safe zone.”

Can't get enough of Strachey's racy prose! I did not expect the Harold and Maude vibes

#web3 in #healthcare will formalise the uninsured, like web3 payments/defi are formalising the unbanked. Massive opportunity in #asia with low, but fast-growing, health insurance penetration. @UHTofficial @vishalgondal @ysiu @Zeneca @GOQii @animocabrands @0xPolygon @IndiGG_DAO @LunaPRofficial

Just as they were re-entering negotiations with Egypt, Ethiopia has unilaterally resumed filling the Grand Renaissance Dam...so much for negotiations aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/10…

The 1st case concerns National Register for Citizens (NRC) which was exercised under Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The Assam NRC is meant to identify illegal immigrants in the State who migrated from Bangladesh after March 24th, 1971. scobserver.in/cases/assam-pu…

Recently experienced a really excellent benefit of live-streaming cases: now you can teach a class, interspersing your discussion with screening actual arguments in an actual case. It enriches the discussion immensely, and brings the court directly into the classroom.
