Understanding Adultery Laws in Mississippi

UN human rights experts expressed grave concern over the increased deterioration of the condition of lawyers in Tunisia over the past year. The experts highlighted situations of increased harassment, arbitrary arrests, and violations of the right to a fair trial in calling the situation a serious deterioration in the last year. Over 60 lawyers have been under criminal investigation since June 2024, with many facing severe charges ranging from spreading fake news to offending public officials, based on broad legal definitions. High-profile arrests of lawyers have included Ahmed Souab, Sonia Dahmani, Dalila Msaddak, Islem Hamza, Ayachi Hamami, Ghazi Chaouachi, Mehdi Zagrouba, and Lazhar Akremi. Further, it has been noted that the harassment and intimidation of lawyers manifests in forms such as criminal prosecution, physical aggression, and legal restrictions, and if convicted, the lawyers usually face severe penalties such as lengthy prison sentences and heavy fines. The experts…

Here’s today’s news: RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR — U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE  President Trump yesterday announced the United States would dramatically increase weapons supplies to Ukraine and impose 100% tariffs on Russia and countries that buy Russian oil if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire in the next 50 days.

Abu Bakar Khan is a JURIST staff correspondent and lawyer based in Pakistan.   Pakistan’s information and freedom of speech landscape has steadily narrowed over the past several years as the state began systematically removing independent voices from television channels and newspaper columns. In response, many journalists turned to digital platforms—primarily YouTube—to continue reporting on current events and offering critical commentary. On July 8, the state expanded its crackdown on dissent when an Islamabad judicial magistrate, acting on a request from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), ordered YouTube to block 27 channels—including those of veteran reporters Matiullah Jan and Asad Toor, and the official channel of political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), along with several other political commentators. Astonishingly, the NCCIA approached the court under Section 94 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 (CrPC). This…

A hit-and-run incident occurred this afternoon in San Francisco, leaving several individuals injured. The incident took place at approximately 4:11 PM on July 14, 2025, within the northbound lanes of the MacArthur Tunnel on State Route 1. Emergency services were promptly dispatched to the scene following reports of a vehicle collision that resulted in injuries. According to initial reports, the collision blocked lane 2 of the tunnel, causing significant traffic disruptions. Responding units worked swiftly to move the involved vehicle to a nearby lot to clear the roadway. The authorities are currently investigating the incident as a hit-and-run, as the driver responsible for the collision fled the scene before law enforcement arrived. The impact of the incident has been felt by those involved, and our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling through the area and to remain vigilant…

I went to watch a program about Hemingway, which was quite interesting. But first, I found myself sitting in front of a screen tuned to FOX. The woman running the program was telling the audience that Democrats love criminals and hate police. That’s complete bull. No one loves criminals as a group. But we care enormously about due process of law – due process for you and for me. What’s the chance that you or I might be picked up and incarcerated, and possibly tortured, starved or denied medication without due process? Torture, starvation and denial of medication are not supposed to happen but there’s been enough litigation that we know it happens. So, rule one – stay out of jail. But is it enough to obey the law? We know people are picked up because they don’t look right – they look disheveled, or impoverished, their skin is the “wrong” color, they speak with an accent, or they’re just near a demonstration that…

A leaked internal memo obtained Sunday revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has authorization to deport individuals to a “third country,” or nation other than one’s country of origin, with just six hours’ notice “in exigent circumstances.” While standard protocol allows for at least 24‑hour notice, the memo specified that accelerated deportations are permitted if the individual has had the chance to consult legal counsel. The memo highlighted that migrants may be sent to countries with diplomatic assurances against persecution or torture “without the need for further procedures,” including any notice. Even in the absence of such assurances, deportations may proceed after a brief screening—except in urgent cases where the six‑hour rule still applies. Immigrants who convey fear of being sent to a third country will be screened within 24-hours for humanitarian status eligibility under…

Chalmers Decision Finally Clarifies Statutory Construction and Protects Access to Justice for Vulnerable Individuals If you’re an attorney or fiduciary who’s ever worried that a technical misstep could jeopardize your right to get paid for services rendered, the Arizona Supreme Court’s long awaited recent decision in In the Matter of the Conservatorship of William John Chalmers, No. CV-23-0263-PR (July 11, 2025), should bring you a deep sigh of relief. This case is a must-read for anyone who appears in probate, conservatorship, or protective proceedings and expects to be compensated for their time from the estate of the subject person. The Court made it clear: missing an initial disclosure of the amount and basis for your compensation under A.R.S. § 14-5109 doesn’t mean automatic forfeiture of fees. The ruling preserves fairness, due process, and the integrity of legal work by reinforcing that professionals should not lose compensation unless the…

David Marcus (UCLA School of Law) has posted The Class Action After Trump v. CASA (73 UCLA L. Rev. Discourse, forthcoming 2025) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: To every court to consider its merits, Donald Trump’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented parents violates the Fourteenth Amendment. But in Trump v. CASA, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated a “universal” injunction that had shielded all children from the order’s enforcement. Federal courts can only issue remedies to benefit parties. Courts can rarely protect non-parties, even from policies that are illegal under all circumstances. Thus, unless every undocumented parent sues, President Trump may wield his unconstitutional order to deny citizenship to tens of thousands of children. The federal courts had issued dozens of universal injunctions before Trump v. CASA, to stop the enforcement of executive orders that threaten transgender…

Former ABA president, ‘a towering figure in the legal community,’ dies at 85

A 21-year-old motorcyclist from Orlando was killed late Friday night after crashing into an unoccupied semi-truck in Orange County. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the rider was traveling southbound on South Kirkman Road just before midnight when he continued through the intersection with Universal Boulevard onto Tradeshow Boulevard. For reasons that remain unclear, the motorcycle veered off the road and struck the rear of a parked semi-truck on the shoulder. The rider was pronounced dead at the scene. When I hear about crashes involving parked commercial vehicles, I always consider whether the vehicle was properly positioned and marked to prevent a collision. Was the Semi-Truck Parked Safely and Legally? Investigators will likely review whether the 2004 Freightliner was parked in accordance with commercial vehicle regulations. That includes whether it was on a legal shoulder, whether hazard lights or warning triangles were in place, and if the truck was…

A serious collision occurred late Friday morning on I-24 East in Rutherford County, Tennessee, near the Sam Ridley Parkway interchange. According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, a 2024 Peterbilt semi-truck was reportedly attempting to merge from the shoulder back onto the interstate when a 2014 Jeep Wrangler, traveling in the same direction, struck the rear of the trailer. The Jeep’s driver, 35-year-old Beyar Yahya, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital. Two children in the vehicle were reportedly unharmed. The truck driver was not injured. Anytime a collision involves a semi-truck merging onto a busy interstate, it’s important to understand whether the maneuver was executed with appropriate caution and whether all drivers had sufficient warning. Was the Semi-Truck Merging Safely? Investigators will likely examine whether the semi-truck’s driver took the necessary precautions before merging. Trucks have a legal obligation to…
