Will my professor know?
Einstein submits assignments from your account just like you would. The work is original and generated per-assignment β not copied from a database.
Ugh
Finally published, in the Dalhousie LJ: a piece looking at widespread, and sometimes wilful, forgetting of some constitutional conventions in Canada, and wondering what, if anything, might be done about it. Paper available at: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

As a hard core fan, it's disappointing that Emily Bronte's novelization of Wuthering Heights is not more faithful to the movie

The accusation that the Lords are βobstructing democracyβ by supporters of the assisted dying bill is a ridiculous one that shows up the flaws in this process that have been there from the very beginning β which have repeatedly been covered up by heated rhetoric (1/?)
30,000+ Iranians slaughtered in just two days.
48,000+ murdered since December 28, when the uprising against the regime began.
These are the latest figures reported by the ICHR.

This is devastating. All solidarity with the people of Iran
This is relatable. I myself was so furious I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize that I refused to floss for a whole day

This is a tightly argued paper that challenges some prevailing assumptions on the compatibility of life sentences with human rights (as understood by the ECtHR). Still, I'd have liked to see more as to whether all carceral regimes are covered by the argument (or just some). Anyway, recommended
Many thanks Paolo, glad you liked it
And me too!
