While adding index to Chapter 11 #Vedic #Courts in Tamil Nadu, the Land of Vedas (#TTLV) authored by my father Dr. #Nagaswamy, I came across this fantastic reference that Appa quotes "Ancient Hindu Judicature" authored by G.R. Rao in the year 1920.

Vedantu signed an agreement with JustBurstOut for developing content for 6000+ pages- 40 lacs words of content. All the delivered content has been live on their website since January and we are still chasing for our payment.
When we posted about the payment default on social media, they sent us legal notices mentioning breach of contract. We told them to remove our content if they do not want to pay. Shameless founders of this company are neither paying us nor removing our content from their website.

Suppose you have come to court but you have no case today. Do you feel like going and sitting in court of a most boring and most rude judge, a judge who keeps insulting lawyers one by one?

About usefulness or not usefulness of Reading Books of Famous Lawyers:
As a young lawyer, I too read such books. They inspired and I hoped that reading them would improve my English expressions and use of idioms and phrases.
But after many years now, I have different views.

2/ I have found that such books have not helped me in my journey.
Some of these books were just showcases of their intelligence.
In some books they just tried to transfer their unfulfilled arguments, dreams, Just as our parents wanted us to pursue their dreams..

Their parents were different. Their cities were different.

Louisa Westropp (born 1858), following a marriage characterised by constant domestic violence, sued her husband for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. Before Irish independence, cruelty was, in theory, legal grounds for divorce.....

..... but men were considered to have the right to physically 'chastise' their wives, as women at that time had few rights (including the right to custody of their own children) cruelty was almost never cited in #divorce proceedings.

I feel I must make this PSA: If you are considering financing anything through @CapitalOne, be very cautious. I have now gone 10 months without being able to legally drive my vehicle due to negligence on capital ones behalf, and they are trying to take zero responsibility for it.
I have been a long time customer, have 100% on time payment records, and continue to make a truck payment while unemployed for five months during Covid. Capital one’s negligence not only cost me a ton of stress, but made it impossible for me to take jobs due to the fact that I
did not have a legal vehicle. It has been approximately two years since I refinance through them and they have still failed to properly transfer my information so that I can register this. I have spent so much time and effort taking off of work, lost money, paid fees to the DMV,
@Inferbro while legally & technically the entire #ContentID-Fuckup of @YouTube is to be blamed 75% on the #CopyrightMafia, that's even assuming someone get's 50k subscribers and can make a living from Videos.
@Inferbro As a personal example: @4ltYT was killed by the #AdPocalypse, and now I've a single-digit € balance of #Advertising #revenue on my @YouTube's @GoogleAds/#AdSense with no reasonable chance to ever reach 1st payout of €70 cuz in the meantime, I had to get another #Job.
@Inferbro this really puts on a huge damper on my plans to release content, and with <1k subscribers on @YouTube it's not worth opening up a @Patreon, @Flattr or @kachingle for the few cents per month - espechally when this would be taxable income to file.

#Lawyers, if you're thinking about learning about #crypto and incorproating it in your practice but you're not sure if it's oversaturated....look below. There will be opportunities for all.
Take these Gents in the picture below. They are building #DeFi platforms which are systems and products that emulate existing centralized financial products and systems, but in a “decentralized” way. What kind of lawyer will they need in the future?
No one knows for sure, but they may need Transactional lawyers to receive investment, to buy other platforms, to license their products and services, to potentially register as companies, where to wind down. Even if they don’t incorporate, they still need help with governance.
Day 2 #Gambia v #Myanmar #ICJ begins, w/#ASSK up first. She declares #genocide is a crime, applied by #ICTR to #Rwanda but not to #Kosovo or #Croatia by #ICTY or #ICJ, because of a lack of dolus specialis.
Gambia has put fwd 'Incomplete & misleading factual picture'. Situation in #Rahkine is 'complex & not easy to fathom'. (same rhetoric as we have heard for years)
Complexities go back for yrs. Claims conflict btwn Arakan Army w/5000 fighters & the #Myanmar Army, w/Arakan Army seeking independence. The conflict has led to displacement & security measures such as curfew & checkpoints, applied to all regardless of background.
