18:56 Herzlichen Dank und auf Wiedersehen! Liebend gerne schliessen wir uns den Worten von Bundesrat Schneider-Ammann an. Ein grosses «Chapeau!» verdient nicht nur der Hornkuh-Initiant Capaul, sondern auch Sie! Merci fürs Abstimmen und fürs Verfolgen unseres Livetickers. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen erholsamen Abend und halten Sie bei uns selbstverständlich weiter auf dem Laufenden. Legende: Keystone

18:51 SVP schöpft eigenes Wählerpotenzial aus – wenn auch knapp So lautet das Fazit der Nachanalyse zur Selbstbestimmungs-Initiative. Ein interessanter Nebenaspekt: Zur Information nutzten die Urnengänger fast ausschliesslich bestehende Massenmedien und das Bundesbüchlein – Social Media spielten bloss eine marginale Rolle. Mehr Informationen zur Untersuchung von gfs.bern folgen im Verlauf des Abends. 03:41 Lukas Golder zur Nach-Abstimmungs-Befragung Legende: Video Lukas Golder zur Nach-Abstimmungs-Befragung abspielen.

18:35 Berset zum Rahmenabkommen: «Es muss für das Land stimmen» Die nächste Woche dürfte wegweisend sein für die Schweiz: Am Freitag wird der Bundesrat über das Rahmenabkommen entscheiden. Ob es ein solches geben wird, bleibt unklar. Es müsse im Interesse beider Parteien sein, sagt Bundesrat Alain Berset im SRF-Interview. Man habe dieses Jahr viele Fortschritte gemacht, auf technischer Ebene wie auch in den Verhandlungen. Nun werde der Bundesrat die ganze Situation beurteilen und sehen, wie die Reise vorwärts gehe. «Es muss wirklich einfach für das Land stimmen.» Er könne sich vorstellen, «dass man einen Rahmenvertrag oder irgendwelchen Vertrag unterstützt, wenn es wirklich im Interesse der Schweiz ist.» 01:03 Bundespräsident Alain Berset zum Rahmenabkommen Legende: Video Bundespräsident Alain Berset zum Rahmenabkommen abspielen.

18:20 VS: Verfassungsrats-Mitglieder sind gewählt Das Walliser Stimmvolk hat 130 Vertreterinnen und Vertreter für den Verfassungsrat gewählt. Dieser soll die Kantonsverfassung komplett überarbeiten. Die Beteiligung erreichte nur knapp 50 Prozent und war damit tiefer als bei Vorlagen von ähnlicher Tragweite. Die Namen der gewählten Mitglieder des Verfassungsrates dürften erst am späteren Abend bekannt werden.

18:03 Stadion-Entscheid in Zürich: «Am Ziel ist das Projekt noch nicht» Auch wenn die Zürcher Fussballfans wohl bereits in Feierlaune sind: SRF-Korrespondent Simon Hutmacher warnt vor allzu grosser Euphorie. «Das Projekt hat eine Hürde genommen, ist aber nicht am Ziel.» 02:31 «Das Projekt hat heute eine grosse Hürde genommen» Legende: Video «Das Projekt hat heute eine grosse Hürde genommen» abspielen.

17:49 Pfister: «Gegner müssen das Abstimmungsergebnis akzeptieren» CVP-Präsident Gerhard Pfister ist froh, dass es nun eine direkt-demokratische Legitimation für das Gesetz zur Überwachung Sozialversicherter gebe. «Alle, die verloren haben, müssen das Abstimmungsergebnis akzeptieren und entsprechend umsetzen», so Pfister weiter. Damit ist die Präsidentenrunde beendet.

17:47 Gössi: «Keine Observationen ohne Anfangsverdacht» Angst vor «Ausuferungen» müsse niemand haben, ist FDP-Präsidentin Gössi überzeugt. Schliesslich habe man auch bisher eine entsprechende Praxis gehabt. Diese werde nicht komplett umgekrempelt. «Die Versicherungen können auch weiterhin nicht ohne Anfangsverdacht Observationen durchführen», so Gössi.

17:43 Rösti: «Privatsphäre muss gewahrt bleiben» Die Botschaft sei sehr klar und eine Klärung vor Gericht unnötig, entgegnete SVP-Präsident Rösti. Dass es im Bereich der Invalidenversicherung zu unschönem Missbrauch komme, habe die SVP schon vor längerer Zeit gesagt. Trotzdem müsse die Privatsphäre weiterhin gewahrt bleiben. «Gefilmt wird nur, was vom öffentlichen Raum aus sichtbar ist – nie in einem Schlafzimmer.»

17:39 Levrat: «Ein Fall für die Richter» Bei der Debatte rund um die Vorlage zur Überwachung Sozialversicherter war es dann wieder vorbei mit der Einigkeit. Das Gesetz sei im Parlament nicht genügend sorgfältig erarbeitet worden, monierte SP-Präsident Levrat. Zwar habe die Diskussion geholfen, die Grenzen der Überwachung etwas klarer zu zeichnen. «Doch nun werden wohl die Gerichte den Rest der Arbeit tun müssen.»

17:34 Viel Sympathie und Anerkennung für die Hornkuh-Vorlage Eine gewisse Einigkeit herrschte bei den Parteipräsidenten in Bezug auf die Hornkuh-Initiative. Eine durchaus sympathische Vorlage, so der Grundtenor. Und ein schöner Beweis, wie die direkte Demokratie in der Schweiz gelebt werde. «Es steht sehr gut um die Volksrechte, dass man bei uns auch solche Anliegen zur Abstimmung bringen kann», brachte es FDP-Präsidentin Petra Gössi auf den Punkt.

17:29 Gössi: «Keine Diskussionsverweigerung mehr» Die FDP sieht Sozialpartner und SP in der Pflicht. «Die SP soll die direkte Demokratie leben, ihre absolute Diskussionsverweigerung bezüglich flankierenden Massnahmen aufgeben und sich an den Verhandlungstisch begeben», fordert FDP-Präsidentin Petra Gössi.

17:16 Pfister: «Das Volk entscheidet» Was bedeutet das SBI-Nein zur weiteren Vorgehensweise des Bundesrates, zum Beispiel beim Rahmenabkommen? «Wir werden den Rahmenvertrag anschauen und dann mit der Bevölkerung diskutieren, ob es mehr Vor- oder Nachteile gibt», sagt CVP-Präsident Gerhard Pfister. «Das Volk entscheidet.»

17:11 Levrat: «Müssen internationale Lösungen suchen» Internationale Verträge seien wichtig für die Schweiz, das sei dem Volk sehr bewusst, so SP-Präsident Christian Levrat. Es gelte, internationale Lösungen zu suchen für globale Probleme. «Grundsätzlich müssen sich die Mitte-Parteien von der SVP weniger unter Druck setzen lassen.»

17:09 Rösti: «Bin gelassen, was die Zukunft anbelangt» Er gehört zu den grossen Verlierern des Tages: SVP-Präsident Albert Rösti. Trotzdem gibt er sich in der Präsidentenrunde gelassen. «Wir haben eine Schlacht verloren, aber nicht den Kampf für die Unabhängigkeit der Schweiz». Man werde die Gegner der Selbstbestimmungs-Initiative nun in die Pflicht nehmen.

17:07 Jetzt – die Präsidentenrunde Es geht bei uns Schlag auf Schlag weiter. Nun äussern sich bereits die Parteipräsidenten zu den Abstimmungen.

17:03 Berset: «Für starke Sozialversicherungen» Starke und vor allem auch vertrauensvolle Sozialversichungen seien den Bürgern wichtig, das zeige das Abstimmungsresultat. In Einzelfällen müssten diese Überwachungen durchführen können. Die Vernehmlassung laufe bis Ende Jahr. Eine Inkraftsetzung solle so schnell wie möglich erfolgen. 03:37 Bundesrat Alain Berset zum Sozialversicherungs-Artikel Legende: Video Bundesrat Alain Berset zum Sozialversicherungs-Artikel abspielen.

16:56 Sommaruga: «Es braucht Kompromisse» Bundesrätin Sommaruga weiter: Die Institutionen in der Schweiz seien so aufgestellt, dass niemand alles entscheiden könne. Man schaue einander gegenseitig auf die Finger. Das Stimmvolk schätze dies. «Alles oder nichts, schwarz oder weiss – das ist nicht, was die Schweiz so erfolgreich gemacht hat», sagt Sommaruga.

Two-thirds of voters said no to the so-called “Swiss-law first” initiative in a referendum that the country’s right-wing People’s Party (SVP) backed.

Had the initiative been successful, it would have put Switzerland at odds with the EU and the United Nations. Six U.N. agencies are based in Geneva, making the city the U.N.’s second-largest base.

The SVP had argued that the proposal would have strengthened the country’s national identity and Swiss autonomy.

“The result [today] proves once again that while the SVP can score points with initiatives related to foreigners, it is less successful when it comes to questions of national politics,” Martina Mousson of pollsters gfs Bern told The Local.

In a separate referendum vote, Switzerland also rejected a bid to give farmers subsidies if they refuse to remove their cows’ horns.

Swiss voters defeated the cow horns’ vote with a majority of 54.7 percent, SRF reported, while 45.3 percent voted in favor of the subsidies initiative.</s>RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- New Direction Family Law has been named to the 2018 Law Firm 500 Award Honorees List recognizing the top 250 U.S. law firms that have achieved significant growth in revenues.

New Direction Family Law represents individuals in Wake, Durham, Johnston, and surrounding counties in North Carolina in legal matters related to divorce, legal separation, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, domestic violence, and guardianship. The firm offers full legal representation for family law matters, including mediation and litigation.

"We are honored to be chosen as one of the fastest growing law firms in the U.S., but what this award really represents is the trust our clients have in us to achieve the best possible outcome for their family law matters," said founding partner Elizabeth A. Stephenson.

Law Firm 500 is a prestigious, one-of-a-kind award recognizing fast growing law firms of all sizes. It celebrates velocity, innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit of law firms measured by revenue growth over the past three years.

To qualify, companies must be a for-profit law firm, based in the U.S., and independent (not a legal department or division of another firm).</s>The GRP-owned business becomes Camberford Underwriting and has designed its refreshed website to ensure simplicity and efficiency for broker partners.

Camberford Underwriting is the new name for Bromley-based niche and affinity specialist managing general agent (MGA) Camberford Law.

The business has also developed its website and managing director, Simon Carter, explained that it had been designed “with brokers in mind” and with a focus on adapting to mobile and desktop services.

Carter said: “Our strategic acquisition of insurance underwriting software specialist Cloud Desk earlier this year has provided us with the sophisticated technology we need to deliver competitive pricing whilst ensuring sustainable returns for our capacity providers.”

Trading

 He continued: “Our new website will incorporate Cloud Desk technology, making it simple and efficient for our broker partners to deal with us. It will also provide the platform from which we will roll out new online trading capability over the coming months.”

Camberford Law was bought by GRP in February this year.



 At the time GRP bosses said the deal was an opportunity for the MGA to make its own acquisitions.

Clive Nathan, chief executive of GRP Underwriting, commented: “The Camberford brand has a great heritage and is well known in the broker market for niche and specialist market expertise.

“Building on this foundation, the rebrand reflects the transition the business has made over the 60 years since its foundation from scheme broker to the digitally integrated MGA it is today.”

The Old Testament teachings on their own are mostly in unison with each other. The books of the other apostles like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ and are generally in agreement with each other and those of the Lord our God. Variances emerge here and there between the teachings of God the Father, the Son, and some of those of Paul, especially in relation to the law.

Jesus Christ taught in support of the law. He spoke in Matthew 5:17: “Think not that I have come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I have not come to destroy, but to fulfil them.” He even preached to the Pharisees: “It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to be void.” (Luke 16:17) Christ’s teachings were in tandem with those of the God the Father. Isaiah 42:21 says: “The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness’s sake, he will magnify the law.” Jesus indeed magnified the law. What is termed “the new law” in Matthew 5:21-48 is just the same old law expanded by Christ to give it a broader meaning. He did not dump his Father’s law, never.

A deeper scrutiny of the gospels of Apostle Paul will reflect some contrast with regard to the law. A narration of chronological events will highlight inconsistencies within his acts and teachings. In Acts 13:39 when Paul was invited to preach in the synagogue in Antioch, he in part speaks, “By him (Jesus) everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the Law of Moses,” This was the beginning of the inclination of what sounds to be his teachings against the law.

While the council of the apostles had approved that Christianity be spread to non-Jewish people, the Gentiles, one question had arisen among them. “Is it necessary to circumcise the Gentiles and to charge them to keep the law of Moses” (Acts 15:5). A judgement was arrived at based on Apostle James’ advice. It reads, “Therefore, my judgement is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood”. (Acts 15:19-21). What this decision of the Christian church leaders of that time meant was that Christians who were not of Jewish origin should not be burdened by all the requirements of the law, but still had to be taught about some particular elements of the law.

Thereafter, Paul wanted a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, and of a Greek father, to accompany him to spread the gospel. He took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they knew his father was not a Jew (Acts 16:1-4). Paul wanted to be seen to be observing the law. In essence, this would signify his contrasting behaviour with regards to the law.

Paul was even summoned before the council of the Christian apostolic elders in Jerusalem and questioned about some of his teachings which seemed to go against the law. Acts 21:20-21 reads: And they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed; they are all zealous for the law, and they have been told about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs. What then is to be done?” This question was directed at Paul by the elders to explain his anti-law teachings. The Christian elders proceed to advise Paul to correct his teachings by doing actions that would be seen to be in observance of the law (Acts 21:23-26).

The other apostles did not know that Paul’s assignment from Christ was to preach to the Gentiles. He had a propensity to talk in favour of the law whenever he found himself in conflict with Jewish authority, but did not stand steadfast with it on his teachings to the Gentiles. The people of Jerusalem also rose against Paul so much that they caused great commotion inside the city. They conspired to kill him but he was saved by the intervention of soldiers and centurions who asked him what he had done wrong (Acts 21:22-36). In his defence he said, “I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in his city at the feet of Gama’liel, educated to the strict manner of the law of our Father, being zealous for God as you all are this day”. It would seem Paul always quickly moved to the side of the law whenever his teachings against the law seemed to stir trouble for him.

Another time, Paul was brought before the high priest Anani’as for questioning. Anani’as then brought Paul before the governor of that time, Felix. Asked to speak in his defence, part of his reply reads, “I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect (Christianity), I worship the God of our Fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets” (Acts 23:14).

Again when Paul was summoned for questioning before King Agrippa, he spoke in his own defence, “The Jews have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest law of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee” (Acts 26:5).

I know a lot of Christian followers would want to crucify me for seeming to want to discredit Paul. However, in my defence, I would want to bring forward Paul himself to act as my defence counsel, to explain his actions. In 1 Corinthians 9:19-21, Paul defence, “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win more followers. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law — though not being myself under the law — that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law — not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ — that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings”. In Acts 9:15 Christ defined Paul’s mission, “He is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles”. In his own words, he acted like one of those not under the law.

In II Timothy 3:16-17, Paul wrote to Timothy, his missionary apprentice, “All scripture is inspired by God and is also profitable for teaching, for reproach, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”. We all stand to be corrected at every level of our faith, as at times we all err.

Simon Peter, the first head of the Christian church, also wrote about the teachings of Paul: “There are some things in Paul’s letters hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You, therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability” (II Peter 3:15-18). Amen.

More than 60 individuals led by the regional chapter of Hustisya held an audience with the Makabayan bloc representatives. They also submitted a petition with more than 6000 signatures and 4 municipal resolutions supporting their clamor.

The victims and their families are appealing for the enactment of a new law that will establish a body that will continue the process of recognizing victims of martial law and provide indemnification.

Makabayan representatives said the body to be created must be more considerate in the application process. The solons noted that most who applied in the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board were denied due to technicalities. Officials demanded the submission of documents like release papers, medical certificates, and death certificates that were almost non-existent during martial law especially in the rural areas. In May 2018, the board closed with only 11,103 or 14% applications for indemnification approved.

The activity happened a few days after the conviction of Imelda Marcos, wife of deceased Dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

Hustisya-Cagayan Valley regional coordinator Charles Valencia called for her immediate arrest.

He pointed that poor individuals are swiftly arrested even if claims against them are still accusations while the rich, like Imelda, are allowed to circumvent the law.

The group also conducted forums, discussions, and mobilizations Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines-Diliman. They provided first-hand testimonies to the students and urged them to always stand for what is right. The students from the two universities also signed petitions in support for the martial law victims’ campaign for their recognition and indemnification.

Last October 29, the first batch of martial law victims from Cagayan Valley went to Bantayog ng mga Bayani in Quezon City to witness the unveiling of the monument dedicated to them. They also talked in University of the Philippines-Manila about their quest for justice and to gather support.

The activity was in coordination with the regional chapters of Karapatan, Rural Missionaries of the Philippines. It was the offshoot of consultations and forums with martial law victims’ in Isabela and Cagayan.# nordis.net</s>The initiative, entitled "Swiss Law, Not Foreign Judges" was launched by the national-conservative Swiss People's Party (SVP), which has the largest representation in the National Council, the lower house of the Swiss legislature.

The Swiss federal government does not support this idea, believing that in this case, the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights and, in the worst case, the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) will be under threat.

If the proposals are approved in a referendum, the federal constitution will be recognised in Switzerland as the supreme source of law.

International human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, have voiced opposition to this referendum.</s>ISLAMABAD, Nov 23 (APP): Minister for Law and Justice Barrister Muhammad Farogh Naseem on Friday said law ministry was examining the laws governing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as directed by Supreme Court of Pakistan.</s>The evidence pops up on a screen in front of the jury. Meeting with a lawyer is done via video conference. And court documents that used to be stored in boxes are on a flashdrive.

Technology advances in the practice of law are rapidly changing, and Long Island colleges and universities are adjusting their programs to prepare the more than 1,300 law students Islandwide.

Hofstra University has a high-tech mock courtroom and provides its students iPads on which they keep their legal arguments, evidence and other court documents. Students at the Touro Law Center are learning how to use artificial intelligence for electronic discovery, creating algorithms to sort digital data.

“Technology is revolutionizing and changing the practice of law each and every day,” said Judge Gail Prudenti, dean of Hofstra’s Maurice A. Deane School of Law and executive director of the Center for Children, Families and the Law. “Firms are using technology more and more to become more efficient to save time and to save costs.”

Technology also is “helping to expand greatly access to legal services for those who cannot afford it — both those of modest means, as well as those who live below the poverty line,” Prudenti said.

Hofstra in early October offered its first one-day legal tech boot camp for students, discussing the role of technology in law and the skills needed in the workplace. The event touched on e-discovery, e-filing, e-billing, cybersecurity, e-research and the use of artificial intelligence and how it’s improving legal services.

The Hempstead-based, 853-student law school plans to offer the boot camp again next year and hopes to open it to the community, including law professionals.

“What we’re trying to do is give our students an opportunity to explore not just where the practice of law is now, but where it’s headed,” said Courtney Selby, Hofstra law professor, associate dean for information services and director of the Law Library. “We’re trying to give them the opportunity to see a little bit into the future of their own professional lives.”

This fall, Hofstra also began offering a class in courtroom technology and advanced advocacy. Students, playing the roles of attorneys, judge and juror, conduct mock trials in the recently updated court classroom, presenting evidence on screens controlled by their iPads. Using the TrialPad app, students can digitally access case files and store evidence. They can then take that evidence and highlight or zoom in on portions of photos or documents, making it easier to point out information to witnesses.

The technology not only makes documents more easily accessible, but allows attorneys to tell a story, keeping jurors engaged, said special professor of law Jared Rosenblatt, who teaches the class.

The course helps make students more marketable, as courtrooms and law firms across the state implement the technology, Rosenblatt said. “In this ever-difficult job market, we need our students to stand out, to be able to say to an employer not only do I have the sufficient experience, but this is what I can do to help your firm, help your business.”

Hofstra third-year law student Taylor Cain, 25, of Wantagh, said taking the class has made him feel “ahead of the game. We’re getting ahead of a field that’s emerging.

“It’s one thing to go up there with an exhibit and say, ‘What is this exhibit, what does it say?’, and it’s another thing to use technology to actually break that exhibit down in a more helpful manner," he added.

Gabriella Malfi, 28, of Great Neck, a third-year law student who also took the course, described one class where the students came in with their opening and closing arguments and directs and cross-examinations printed out, and they were using the iPad separately.

The professor taught them to use the notes feature in PowerPoint so they could go paperless, said Malfi, who has been working for the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and has accepted a full-time position there next fall.

“It’s another way to get more comfortable in the courtroom and more understanding of how to respond to objections, how to get evidence in if you can’t get it in, how to use the technology,” she said of the class.

The focus on technology doesn’t end with learning new ways to use devices in the courtroom, but also how to sift through information.

“Over time, the amount of information stored digitally has grown exponentially,” said Jack Graves, professor of law and director of digital legal education at Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center.

The Central Islip-based college, which has 486 law students, has been offering an e-discovery course for the last four years. Discovery is the process of finding and reviewing information used in litigation.

Along with electronic records, there’s also more digital communication, so the course teaches students how to search for and analyze information, Graves said.

Artificial intelligence and computer algorithms are increasingly being used to locate information relevant to the case, he said. Artificial intelligence is also being used to predict settlement values and legal outcomes.

Technology also is changing how legal services are delivered, he said. Graves offers a course in building automated systems that can be used, for example, to create automated client intake. Clients can assess their own legal needs before meeting with an attorney. It also allows attorneys to see more clients, as they move away from the days of hourly rates with lawyers chained to their desks, he said.

These methods, along with the use of digital communication, also allow attorneys to deliver cost-effective legal services to those who can’t otherwise afford them, he said. “By rethinking what is it that we're trying to do, and coming up with a better, more efficient way to solve a given problem, we make that solution more accessible to more people."

Touro has been offering courses online, and flipped its classroom — so content is taught online and the classroom is reserved for discussion, said Harry Ballan, Touro Law Center dean and law professor. The program encourages team-based learning, using technology to allow students to comment on projects and grade each other, Ballan said.

The use of online technology allows the college to deliver a better, more accessible education to students who may not otherwise have been able to attend, Graves said.

“Whether we're talking about educating law students, or law students providing legal services, the idea is that the appropriate use of technology, blended with individualized interaction as necessary, can make law schools better at educating tomorrow's lawyers and can make tomorrow's lawyers better at delivering legal services to their clients,” he said.</s>26 November 2018 – Brink At Law is offering comprehensive and valuable advice on how to evict a tenant in Washington using all the necessary legal tools and means.
