Congratulations, Lisa! Looking forward to reading it.
What course do you want to know about?
@lpramsey.bsky.social will be of interest to you!
Reading Zuru v Lego with a baby asleep in my arms.
The judgment has taken over a year and is available here: www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...
It is about whether the phrase βLEGO BRICK COMPATIBLEβ infringes the LEGO mark. The HC said yes, CA says no.

Two babies crawling is a whole new level of difficulty
From Auckland University - Comment: Judges around the world have pulled lawyers up for submitting AI-generated material to the court thatβs wrong. To those lawyers who do want to use it β hereβs a warning.
I had to apply for permission to give evidence early in a trial because I was going on my honeymoon. He granted it (βHer honeymoon will be a seminal event in the life of Miss Franksβ) but the defendant then fell over
The second edition of LensenMcGavin AI's The Reading List is out now.
Some really fantastic reads, including New Zealand's own (via Australia) Joshua Yuvaraj.

My babies have started laughing with each other. It is precious
Thereβs so much lost by not reading the source material, whether youβre reading someone elseβs summary (eg a case head note) or a summary created without human input
Even more annoying is that the original poster is using the LLM to βwade through a mountain of papers for a systemic reviewβ. Which means feeding a lot of academic material into the plagiarism machine that always lies, without the consent of the authors.
Itβs their response to Tamiefuna v R
nap time and one baby wakes so you pick that baby up to rock back to sleep, but then the other baby wakes up. So you try to get first baby back into cot without waking to deal with second baby and end up with two awake babies who should really be asleep for another hour
They are 6 months old today and I am still trying to finish this π«
Can rec knitting patterns but not crochet unfortunately! Congrats and good luck.

Whatβs the justification? Foreign judges are βbetterβ?
It really bothers me how the skill of summarising is devalued. It is a hard thing to do well and it is important to learning. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
What is sepsis? Sepsis arises when a person has an infection, and the body's reaction to it injures tissues and organs
Itβs World #Sepsis Day
Sepsis kills 11 million people each year.
Symptoms incl.:
πΈFever or shivering
πΈConfusion
πΈShortness of breath
πΈRash that does not fade when pressed
πΈExtreme discomfort
πΈSweaty skin
Seek medical care as soon as possible when an infection is not getting better.
Sad to hear of the passing of Conor Gearty.

βThe 'do minimum' option would cover work to improve the electrical system and maintenance technology, and deal with asbestos a bit.β
I think itβs time for me to finally write up my complaint about the state of facilities and care. Not sure how I will find the time but JFC.
This is despicable. I spent 3 weeks in Auckland City Hospital & the state of the facilities was appalling. My broken window was propped up by a [clean] piss pot in a room that had no other ventilation and was 26Β°. In another room the bathroom door didnβt shut and screws were hanging from the lock.
Itβs really something trying to finish a revise and resubmit with infant twins. I do like 5 mins a day, every couple of days. At this rate Iβll be finished by the time they start school π
You see, the great thing about law is that it comes down to what the law says, regardless of how βdistinguishedβ or βleadingβ or βexpertβ a lawyer may be.
It is a curiously egalitarian subject, where a cat can speak to a king, or at least to the kingβs counsel.
Apparently βleadingβ lawyers and βexpertsβ say that the Good Friday Agreement is no obstacle to UK leaving ECHR.
Me, being neither, merely sets out what the Good Friday Agreement expressly says.
