Trials of Sovereignty: Mercy, Violence, and the Making of Criminal Law in British India, 1857-1922 (Cambridge UP, 2024) offers the first legal history of mercy and discretion in nineteenth and twentieth-century India. Through a study of large-scale amnesties, the prerogative powers of pardon, executive commutation, and judicial sentencing practices, Alastair McClure argues that discretion represented a vital facet of colonial rule. In a bloody penal order, officials and judges consistently offered reduced sentences and pardons for select subjects, encouraging others to approach state institutions and confer the colonial state with greater legitimacy. Mercy was always a contested expression of sovereign power that risked exposing colonial weakness. This vulnerability was gradually recognized by colonial subjects who deployed a range of legal and political strategies to interrogate state power and question the lofty promises of British colonial justice. By the early twentieth century, the decision to break the law and reject imperial overtures of mercy had developed into a crucial expression of anticolonial politics..Alastair McClure is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Hong Kong. .Saumya Dadoo is a Ph.D Candidate at MESAAS, Columbia University.

Get ready to ace the February 2026 Uniform Bar Exam with this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast. In this detailed MEE essay predictions video, I break down my analysis of the most likely subjects to appear on the February 2026 bar exam and specific topics within each subject based on historical testing patterns from the NCBE. I walk through my preliminary predictions including Civil Procedure, Evidence, Secured Transactions, Real Property, and potential wild cards like Torts, Partnerships, and Criminal Law. Using detailed analysis of past UBE exams from February 2025, July 2024, July 2023, and going back several years, I identify specific high-probability topics for each subject. For Civil Procedure, watch out for preclusion issues, Erie doctrine, and pleading requirements. Evidence predictions focus on hearsay and expert witness testimony. Secured Transactions will likely test perfection and after-acquired title, while Real Property predictions include life tenancy, wrap mortgages, and recording statutes. I also discuss Wills and Trusts topics like revocation, intestacy, and lapse rules, plus Family Law predictions centering on custody issues involving non-parents like grandparents. The video includes visual screenshots of my spreadsheet analysis tracking MEE subject frequency across multiple exam cycles to help you focus your study time efficiently. Whether you're a repeat taker or first-time bar exam candidate, these predictions can help you prioritize the most frequently tested topics and feel more confident walking into the exam. If you want more detailed predictions on the wild card subjects sooner, drop a comment and thumbs up on this video. Subscribe to Bar Exam Drills for more bar exam strategy, study tips, and predictions to help you pass the February 2026 UBE. This is the strategic preparation that makes the difference between passing and failing.
Get ready for the February 2026 California Bar Exam with detailed essay predictions based on historical testing patterns and recent exam analysis. In this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast, I break down my comprehensive predictions for the most likely subjects and specific topics to appear on the upcoming exam so you can study strategically instead of guessing. In this detailed analysis, I walk through the core predicted subjects including Professional Responsibility, Community Property, Remedies, Contract Law, and Evidence. For each subject, I examine what appeared on recent exams from July 2025 back through previous testing cycles, identify patterns in how the California Bar Examiners rotate topics, and pinpoint the specific issues most likely to show up in February 2026. For Professional Responsibility, I predict a civil setting focusing on settlement offers, conflicts of interest, and fee splitting arrangements, possibly in a divorce context. Community Property analysis reveals a strong likelihood of quasi community property issues, the clawback rule, and potential crossover with Wills based on the July 2022 pattern. My Remedies prediction points toward a torts and nuisance scenario with injunctions, and I walk you through exactly which past questions to review including the public and private nuisance issues that keep recurring. The Evidence prediction suggests another California Evidence Code question in a civil setting covering subsequent remedial measures, character evidence, and the types of hearsay exceptions that appear when the bar examiners want to test foundational knowledge. For Contracts, I break down the UCC versus common law pattern and explain why I'm predicting a common law contracts question this cycle after back-to-back UCC testing. I also preview the wild card predictions coming in a separate video covering Real Property, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Wills. Throughout the video, you can screenshot the specific topics I've identified so you have a targeted study list instead of trying to memorize everything. Whether you're a first-time taker or repeating the California Bar Exam, these predictions help you allocate your limited study time to the highest probability topics and walk into the exam with confidence. Drop a thumbs up and comment if you want the wild card predictions video released sooner. Want to take your bar prep to the next level? Head over to www.barexamdrills.com to get updates when the wild card predictions drop and to learn more about the Bar Exam Drills app where you can practice timed essay drills, access complete essay outlines, and master the issue-spotting skills that separate passing scores from failing ones.

John Maytham is joined by Dr Suhayfa Bhamjee, Senior Lecturer in Criminal Law at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. She argues that this was not merely a procedural lapse, but an incident with far-reaching consequences for the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority. In a system built on transparency and the testing of evidence through cross-examination, the abrupt exit of the country’s top prosecutor has fuelled concerns about respect for due process, the authority of commissions of inquiry, and public confidence in the rule of law. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Teatime with Miss LizDecember 16th, 3 PM ESTGuest: Russell G. Little — “Murder for Me, Courtroom Truths & Stories of the Human Heart” Russell G. Little Truth, Fiction & the Stories Born From a Lifetime in the Courtroom. Where law meets literature and real lives spark unforgettable fiction. Miss Liz doesn't serve a beverage; she serves real-life changemakers.On December 16th, she serves Russell G. Little, Houston-based writer, seasoned divorce attorney, and the author of Murder for Me, a gripping fictionalized blend drawn from the unforgettable characters, cases, and human complexities he witnessed in his 40-year legal career. Born in Amarillo, Texas, where the land is flat, the wind never stops, and the federal government builds bombs, Russell grew up surrounded by grit and resilience. After law school, he married a Houston girl and moved to Houston, where he practiced law for four decades, raised three children, and remained married to his wife, Melinda, for 32 years, a fact that surprises many, given his specialty in divorce law. His work in Family Law and Criminal Law brought him face-to-face with situations both wild and unbelievable, the kind that live quietly in the soul but loudly on the page. Russell has tried over one hundred jury trials, handled hundreds more before a judge, and witnessed the rawest layers of human truth. His upcoming novel, Murder by Storm (October release), continues the battle of pursuit and deception in a hurricane-shaken Houston, a story every reader will want to experience from the safety of their chair. Russell also writes children's books inspired by his granddaughter Vivi, blending adventure with messages of animal care and conservation. Miss Liz will pour a cup of courtroom grit, Texas storytelling, and literary honesty with Russell G. Little, a practicing attorney of four decades and the author of Murder for Me, a crime novel born from real experiences, unforgettable characters, and the emotional residue of hundreds of cases. Born in Amarillo and settled in Houston, Russell has lived a life shaped by wide-open landscapes, courtroom battles, human complexity, and the kind of stories you carry long after the verdict. With more than one hundred jury trials behind him, he has seen the best and worst of people,e and he channels that truth into fiction with depth, empathy, and a sharp eye for detail. Inspired by literary giants like Proust, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Hemingway, Russell writes with classic influence, modern grit, and a soul shaped by decades inside the legal arena. His upcoming novel, Murder by Storm, dives into pursuit, deception, and survival as Houston is battered by a hurricane. Outside of crime fiction, his heart shows in the children's books he co-wrote with his wife, stories inspired by his granddaughter Vivi and focused on protecting Africa's remarkable wildlife. Today, we explore law, humanity, writing, truth, tension, family, and the stories that stay with us forever. What an engaging and richly layered Teatime with Russell G. Little, a conversation filled with humanity, humour, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom. Russell will remind us that behind every case is a person, behind every verdict is a story, and behind every courtroom door are truths that can shape a writer forever. His seamless weaving of legal experience into fiction, his love for classic literature, and his heartfelt family stories made today's Teatime unforgettable. Miss Liz will thank Russell for sharing your world, your work, and your wit. And thank you to everyone who joined live or on replay. Your support continues the ripple of storytelling, truth, and transformation. Author of Murder for Me and the upcoming Murder by Storm, he blends courtroom insight with storytelling. He also co-writes children's books inspired by his granddaughter, Vivi. #TeatimeWithMissLiz#RussellGLittle#CrimeFiction#TexasAuthors#CourtroomStories

Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Innovative Criminal Defense Internship/Externship Program:Adam Rossen's law firm runs a highly competitive, curriculum-based internship program for high school, undergraduate, and law students. The program is designed to provide real-world legal experience, pairing students with attorneys and involving them in substantive casework. There is a push to rebrand it as an externship to help students receive academic credit.* Subscription and Fixed Fee Models in Criminal Defense:Rossen's firm utilizes fixed fees and is exploring subscription models for ongoing client services, especially for probation-related matters. The discussion highlights the benefits of offering tiered subscription packages (e.g., access to legal resources, help with forms, full representation) to better serve clients and create predictable revenue.* Client Retention and Value Packaging:Rossen's firm has historically provided certain post-case services (like probation motions) for free to nurture long-term client relationships and encourage positive reviews. However, this has become burdensome for staff, leading to a reevaluation of what should be included for free versus what should be packaged and charged for in a subscription or a la carte model.* Data-Driven Pricing and Service Decisions:There is an emphasis on analyzing firm data (e.g., rates of probation violations, service usage) to inform pricing and package design for subscription offerings. This approach ensures that the firm's offerings are both sustainable and aligned with client needs.* Leveraging Technology and AI in Legal Practice:Adam Rossen is co-owner of Meet Gabby, a voice AI company that is being used to automate intake, calls, and other administrative tasks in his firm. The adoption of AI tools (like Paxton and Gabby) is seen as a way to scale operations, improve efficiency, and maintain high service quality without significantly increasing staff.__________________________Learn more about Rossen Law Firm and Meet Gabby.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for Gavel, an automation platform for law firms.Visit Law Subscribed to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

In this week's 'Criminal Law 101' with Ken Eulo from Smith & Eulo: Ken takes your criminal law-related questions and we'll also get his take on some of the high-profile criminal law cases in the news, including how new DNA evidence may impact the future of Florida's longest-serving death row inmate.
In this week’s Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer Break down the federal hearing surrounding Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024. What began as a five-day manhunt has become a master class in what not to do, with missed warrants, coached testimony, and evidence on the verge of being thrown out. Sheryl and Joshua examine how procedural missteps could weaken a potential death penalty case and why “get a warrant” isn't just good advice; it's the foundation of justice. They then turned their attention to Massachusetts, where the trial of Brian Walshe, who is accused of killing and dismembering his wife, reveals how arrogance, lies, and a trail of Google searches can expose a killer's truth. Highlights: • (0:00) Welcome to Crime Roundup with Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer • (0:15) "99 percent of the time, you need a warrant... it won’t hurt your case if you get one and don’t need it.” • (4:00) Coached testimony and the danger of tailoring officer statements for admissibility • (7:30) What happens when training, procedure, and pressure collide in the courtroom • (9:00) How early media leaks and “pre-trial publicity” can poison a case before it begins • (10:30) The potential collapse of key evidence and its impact on death penalty eligibility • (12:15) The rules of criminal procedure and what it means when they don’t apply equally • (17:15) The defense’s dream scenario: getting the weapon suppressed because of a“bad stop” • (17:45) The Brian Walshe trail and the anatomy of a cover-up • (19:30) Walshe’s “woke up and she was dead” defense and why it’s collapsing in court • (21:45) The digital trail: how Google searches reveal motive, method, and mindset • (23:00) Closing thoughts: why “get a warrant” isn’t optional, it’s the rule of law About the Hosts Joshua Schiffer is a veteran trial attorney and one of the Southeast’s most respected legal voices. He is a founding partner at ChancoSchiffer P.C., where he has litigated high-stakes criminal, civil rights, and personal injury cases for over two decades. Known for his bold courtroom presence and ability to clearly explain complex legal issues, Schiffer is a frequent media contributor and a fearless advocate for accountability. Sheryl “Mac” McCollum is an active crime scene investigator for a Metro Atlanta Police Department and the director of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, which partners with colleges and universities nationwide.

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin. That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers. The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face. But we can now share that this was not the only frivolous complaint filed regarding the Delphi murders — we got one too.Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discountsCheck out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Criminal Defense Attorney Ken Eulo of Smith & Eulo joins us in studio. Ken will answer your questions and offer insight on some of the high-profile criminal law-related stories that have been in the news this week...
Episode Summary In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I sit down with Amy Soong, Principal of Ashworth Lawyers, to talk about what it really looks like to step off the tools and lead a high-performing criminal law practice. Amy has built an exceptional reputation in Queensland over nearly two decades, yet like many firm owners, she found herself trapped in the workload. In just a short time inside the Accelerator program, she shifted from being the main fee-earner to becoming the CEO of her firm and created enough space to launch a completely new business for the legal profession. We dive into that journey, the mindset shifts, the systems that made it possible, and the inspiration behind her new platform, Advisent, designed to connect clients with verified and experienced lawyers across Australia. This conversation is packed with practical insight for any lawyer who wants more freedom, better leverage, and a business that no longer relies on them to survive. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Amy stepped back from daily file work without compromising quality She walks through the shift from “doing everything” to leading a team of senior criminal lawyers confidently handling the firm's matters. Why building the right team was the turning point We explore how experienced lawyers, clear systems, and collaborative processes allowed her firm to run smoothly, even when she's not in court. What sparked the idea for Advisent Amy shares her vision for solving a real gap in the market: helping clients book verified, experienced lawyers while giving law firms a low-risk way to attract high-quality leads. How expanding your marketing channels reduces cashflow stress We discuss why relying on referrals or one marketing method is no longer enough and how platforms like Advisent can boost visibility and SEO. The importance of community and connection for law firm owners Amy explains how events like Law Biz Con helped her find a trusted network of peers who openly share strategies, challenges, and wins.

654. Today we post our presentation on Liberty in Louisiana at the 2025 Louisiana Studies Conference. Liberty in Louisiana by James Workman is the oldest known extant play about Louisiana. Workman wrote the play in 1803 with the goal of supporting the impending Louisiana Purchase. This was Workman's sole venture in writing drama; he mostly wrote political essays. This time, he thought he could reach a wider audience with a play, but he still had a political objective. His goal was to demonstrate the superior legal system of the United States, which would free Louisiana from the tyranny of the Old World and replace it with the New World's Republic of Freedom. Workman had a ready theme to use in his play — the Black Legend of Spanish Law. Spanish law was denigrated by other European countries. Its Civil Law, modelled on old Roman Law, had the best reputation, but it was slow, secret, incredibly complex, and open to corruption. The Criminal Law was markedly worse in the popular imagination. It was not seen as ancient Roman but as excessively Medieval and barbaric. Spain used several forms of capital punishment, mutilation and other corporal punishments, and forced labor. Worst of all was Canon Law — the infamous Spanish Inquisition. The corrupt judge Don Bertoldo embodies this old, corrupt systems that the Americans end. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy. The oldest play about Louisiana, author James Workman wrote it as a celebration of the Louisiana Purchase. Now it is back in print for the first time in 221 years. Order your copy today! This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Pisatuntema. Myths of the Louisiana Choctaw. "Hashok Okwa Hui'ga." There is a certain spirit that lives in marshy places — often along the edges of swamps. It is never seen during the day, only at night, and even then its heart is the only part visible. Its heart appears as a small ball of fire that may be seen moving about, a short distance above the surface of the water. At night, when a person is passing along a trail or going through the woods, and meets the Hashok Okwa Hui'ga he must immediately turn away and not look at it, otherwise he will certainly become lost and not arrive at his destination that night, but instead, travel in a circle. The name is derived from the three words: hashok, grass; okwa, water; hui'ga, drop. The two preceding tales refer to the ignis fatuus often seen along the swamps of St Tammany parish.

Understanding the Foundations of Criminal Law: Actus Reus and Mens ReaThis conversation delves into the intricacies of criminal law, focusing on how society allocates blame and the importance of proportionality in punishment. It emphasizes the need for a moral framework that ensures that the severity of punishment corresponds to the level of blameworthiness of the crime committed.In the realm of criminal law, two foundational concepts stand as pillars: actus reus and mens rea. These Latin terms translate to "guilty act" and "guilty mind," respectively, and they form the bedrock of legal analysis in determining criminal liability. Understanding these principles is crucial for anyone navigating the complexities of the justice system.Actus Reus: The Guilty ActActus reus refers to the physical act of committing a crime. It is not merely about the action itself but the voluntariness of that action. The law distinguishes between voluntary acts and involuntary movements, such as reflexes or actions taken while unconscious. A crime requires a conscious, voluntary act that results in social harm. However, actus reus can also manifest as an omission, where a failure to act constitutes a crime if there is a legal duty to do so.Mens Rea: The Guilty MindMens rea, on the other hand, delves into the mental state of the defendant at the time of the crime. It assesses the intent or knowledge behind the act. The Model Penal Code categorizes mens rea into four levels: purposely, knowingly, recklessly, and negligently. Each level reflects a different degree of culpability, influencing the severity of the charge and potential punishment.Application in Criminal OffensesThese principles are applied across various criminal offenses, from homicide to theft and inchoate crimes like attempt and conspiracy. In homicide cases, for instance, the presence of malice aforethought—an intent to kill or cause serious harm—elevates the crime to murder. In theft, the distinction between larceny, embezzlement, and false pretenses hinges on how the property was obtained and the intent behind it.Balancing Justice and RightsCriminal law is not just about punishment; it is a delicate balance between enforcing justice and protecting individual rights. The interplay of actus reus and mens rea ensures that only those who act with a guilty mind and commit a guilty act are held accountable. This framework reflects society's values of autonomy, responsibility, and proportionality in the face of wrongdoing.As we navigate the complexities of modern law, these ancient pillars continue to guide our understanding of criminal liability. They remind us that justice is not just about retribution but about ensuring fairness and protecting the rights of all individuals.TakeawaysCriminal law reflects societal values and norms.Proportionality is a key principle in criminal law.Differentiate between murder and manslaughter based on moral blameworthiness.Punishments should align with the severity of the crime.Understanding blame is crucial in legal contexts.The moral implications of legal decisions are significant.Society's condemnation is reflected in legal punishments.Legal doctrines are designed to uphold justice and fairness.The study of criminal law is complex and multifaceted.The relationship between law and morality is deeply intertwined.criminal law, society, blame, proportionality, punishment, moral blameworthiness
