Great leadership by @LawyersAreResp and @SocialistLawyer highlighting the complicity of the law, and some lawyers, in 'legitimising' ecocidal corporations and their contracts, as well as unjustly prosecuting peaceful climate protesters.
We're proud to have supported the Declaration of Conscience by @LawyersAreResp. We're happy to see practical consequences emerging from it, which has also helped increase awareness about the role of the law, and some lawyers, in facilitating capitalist destruction of the planet.

Families of Troubles victims joined human rights organisations to protest outside the ICRIR offices in Belfast this morning. They marked a year since the Legacy Act came into force and halted all inquests into Troubles deaths

I'm quoted in this article emphasising the need for the public to protest with @sodoffdonard on 10 May in Newcastle. My principal concern is the ecological integrity of Slieve Donard but there is no doubt that this is also an outrageous waste of money.

A year one following legacy act came into effect. Please attend and show your support on how you don't support the Legacy act.
Thursday marks the 1st anniversary of the introduction of the Legacy Act and the end of all human rights compliant processes for victims. We are calling on families to join us in protesting against the ICRIR. We demand it is repealed and replaced .@AmnestyNI .@FinucaneCentre

Great article by @cochrane_amy which highlights the need to Save Slieve Donard and the great work being undertaken by @sodoffdonard to do so! Time for @NationalTrustNI to exercise its veto and call an end to this madness!

I’m very grateful to my friends and comrades in the International Association of Democratic Lawyers for releasing this solidarity statement. It reaffirms the core principle that lawyers must not be associated with their clients, something @RobertJenrick would do well to remember.
Our strongest solidarity with the legal team in the UK representing Hamas (Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah), facing attacks on the fundamental rights of lawyers and access to justice. @fahadansari @FranckMagennis @riverwaylaw @SocialistLawyer @SocialistLawIre.
