According to the lawyer representing Amos Yee, Amos's defence wants a non-Christian judge to hear Amos' appeal when his case goes before the High Court. In a previous article, it was reported that Amos had said on his Facebook that he would appeal both his conviction and sentence. His lawyer Alfred Dodwell filed the notice of appeal on 9th July, 3 days after Amos was released from remand.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has sacked a 43 year-old assistant law professor Sundram Peter Soosay after he was sentenced to 4 months jail last Friday for causing hurt to a taxi driver. On Christmas Day in 2013, a drunk Soosay had boarded 69 year-old Sun Chuan Hua's taxi, vomited in the cab and tried to leave without paying his fare. When confronted, Soosay handed a $50 note to Sun after the latter threatened to call the police. As Sun headed back to the car to get change, Soosay assaulted Sun from the back and caused grievous injuries to Mr Sun, which required 17 days of medical leave.

So I was seeking for deed poll services, and contacted Vexus Law, as it was recommended for providing affordable and customized services, only to be ridiculed by the Director of the firm, Mr Ben-Jie Lee for asking "stupid" questions and dismissed for being a "$50 person". I wanted this to raise awareness of this incident but he has since deleted my post at Vexus Law FB page.

The Law Society of Singapore has fined activist lawyer M Ravi $7,000 for "for misconduct unbefitting an advocate and solicitor as a member of an honorable profession". He was fined under the Legal Profession Act. The Council of The Law Society of Singapore said that the fine was imposed because M Ravi had "prematurely released various court documents relating to the legal proceedings before they were served on the opposing party", in his capacity as the advocate and solicitor on record for several plaintiffs or applicants".

Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane.

The Roy Ngerng saga has been played out for the past few weeks. By now, I think many Singaporeans are already tired of the constant harping of the same issues. In fact, many of my friends have been asking what the issue is actually. The long and short of it is that Roy Ngerng said that our Prime Minister criminally misappropriated the nation’s CPF monies. Many people have since put forward their stand that such claims are ridiculous and are defamatory.

My lawyer, M Ravi, will be leading a team in preparation for the hearing. As most of you know, he champions many Human Rights causes, most of which he undertakes without charge. However, he only has a small practice with finite resources. In view of the magnitude of the matter, the amount of resources required and the likelihood that it will last almost a year, I need to raise the legal fees required.

A former director of the Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP) has failed to get a court order to stop the taxman from coming after him to make good on tax arrears totalling $117,716.

Apparently not everyone is aware that a divorce ends a marriage. A British woman tried to sue her lawyers, claiming they should have warned her that by getting a divorce, she would be, well, divorced.
