Australia's “housing disaster” could soon turn catastrophic, says former Victorian Supreme Court justice Kevin Bell. To counter this, the nation needs not just legislative action but also a reframing of our collective mindset to view housing not as the Great Australian Dream but as a fundamental right. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes the Honourable Kevin Bell AO KC, former justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria and patron of Tenants Victoria, to discuss his new book – Housing: The Great Australian Right – and why housing is no longer a dream for Australians but rather a “nightmare”, his upbringing in social housing and motivation to see an overhaul of our housing system, and why housing needs to be viewed as a right for all persons across the community. Bell also unpacks the four-pronged disaster currently facing Australia's housing system, recalibrating the national mindset about housing as a right rather than an investment or commodity, what a national plan can and should look like and why legislation is needed instead of policy, our collective duty to view housing as a human right, and whether he is optimistic that Australia can avoid catastrophe.

This week on Trump's Trials, host Scott Detrow is joined by retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. In Breyer's new book Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism, Breyer explains why he finds textualism's popularity troublesome. Textualism is the legal theory that argues the correct way to interpret the Constitution and statutes is to read the text as it was understood at the time the documents were written. Pragmatism, the legal theory Breyer favors, takes current social and political context into consideration when formulating a legal opinion. In Breyer's view, textualism can weaken the public's faith in the rule of law and poses risks for the health of nation. However, Breyer was reluctant to comment on cases pending before the court, like former President Donald Trump's claim he is immune from criminal prosecution because of presidential immunity. Topics include: - Pragmatism vs. textualism- Public opinion of the court - Trump and immunity Follow the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify for new episodes each Saturday.Sign up for sponsor-free episodes and support NPR's political journalism at plus.npr.org/trumpstrials.Email the show at trumpstrials@npr.orgLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

When it comes to the Supreme Court, there has been a lot of disagreement over its rulings. But the dissent plays an important role in the national conversation.

Last month, Russell Brown announced he was stepping down as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. His resignation put a halt to the Canadian Judicial Council's probe of a claim of misconduct directed against Brown related to an incident in the United States. And it means there won't be a public report on the matter. Accounts of the incident differ but it has been established there was some kind of fight between Brown and a US Marine veteran at a resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Marine veteran, Jon Crump, alleged Brown was belligerent and harassed his female drinking companions. There's a lot more to this story. Gardiner Roberts website https://www.grllp.com/Email Gavin Tighe gjtighe@grllp.com Email Stephen Thiele sthiele@grllp.com

This week, we revisit one of the most important Supreme Court cases you've probably never heard of: Baker v. Carr, a redistricting case from the 1960s, which challenged the justices to consider what might happen if they stepped into the world of electoral politics.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and investigative reporter Inna Lazareva join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Former Supreme Court head Aharon Barak gave a series of television interviews over the weekend in which he stated unequivocably that he is worried about new Justice Minister Yariv Levin's proposed judicial reforms. What were some of Barak's statements? Three drivers employed by the Prime Minister's Office for roughly 30 years as part of the premier's motorcade were reportedly fired earlier this week, amid reports that Benjamin Netanyahu is clearing house of staff who served in the previous government. However, the drivers are set also to serve as prosecution witnesses in the ongoing trial against Netanyahu. Horovitz connects some dots. A team of Israeli archaeologists from the Universite of Haifa and the Hebrew University has discovered what it claims is the earliest evidence of silver being used as currency in the Levant, dating back more than 3,600 years. The analyzed silver hoards are found in strata that date to 500 years prior to previous estimates. Borschel-Dan gives some context. Finally, Lazereva shares some of the horrors she uncovered during her in-depth investigation into what many Ukrainian women who fled their homes for Israel face when they get here. Discussed articles include: Ex-top judge Barak: ‘Put me before a firing squad' if it'll stop move to tyranny 3 motorcade drivers fired by Netanyahu are witnesses in his corruption trial Netanyahu fires three veteran motorcade drivers who also ferried Bennett and Lapid Newly analyzed 3,600-year-old silver pieces are 1st currency in Levant, study shows Raped, abused, exploited: Ukrainian women seeking refuge in Israel find no haven Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer says Liberal members of the House of Commons justice committee have an opportunity today to do the right thing and get the answers Canadians deserve on the SNC-Lavalin scandal. The Conservatives are putting forward a motion for the committee to investigate allegations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aides pressured Jody Wilson-Raybould to help SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution. Scheer says voting against or watering down the motion down is an admission of guilt. The Liberal chairman of the committee says his biggest concern is that the committee may be too partisan a venue for a review of the matter. Wilson-Raybould has retained the counsel of Thomas Cromwell, who served on the Supreme Court of Canada from 2008 to 2016 - an unusual step for a departing cabinet minister.
