Küppersbusch TV (Kompakt) – 6/2025
Kein Mensch braucht das. Der Zusammenschnitt des schrecklichsten Junis in unserer jüngsten Erinnerung. Aber da diese Erinnerung bei den Menschen unterschiedlich weit reicht, gibt Küppersbusch uns den ganzen Monat sicherheitshalber trotzdem nochmal auf Auge und Ohren. Sehen/hören müssen Sie das ja doch.
I hadn't seen this client for a while.
Spent extra ~2 hours #ProBono to help them with all their maths problems.
Such a long session, yet they did unbelievably well (we took multiple breaks for exercise, breakfast, magic tricks, etc.).
They loved the new flipchart (especially the table configuration), so I loaned it and extra butcher paper until I see them again Monday night. 
#AndrewWeissman substack:
#Trump issued another #EO saying:
“§2 Legal Defense of Law Enforcement Officers. The Attorney General shall take all appropriate action to create a mechanism to provide legal resources & indemnification to law enforcement officers who unjustly incur expenses & liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the #law. This mechanism shall include the use of private-sector #ProBono assistance for such law enforcement officers.”
Are there any #journalism or #media #students interested in creating a new podcast project?

Over 1000 lawyers, in 42 states, trained to do #ProBono work for federal employees being attacked by #DOGE. “We are still operating as though there is a #RuleOfLaw”
Another law firm, #MilbankLLP, makes a “deal” with #Trump rather than face his wrath.
Basically the same terms as the other appeasers

jemand Lust auf einen #ProBono Fall zu Gunsten der Umwelt?
Ich möchte für meine Produkte eine Mehrwegverpackung anbieten - und die meisten Kunden möchten das auch. Leider darf ich es amtlicherseits nicht, weil in der EU-Verordnung "Einweg" steht.
Ich möchte das gern durchsetzen, weiß aber nicht, wo ich ansetzen kann und kann's auch nicht bezahlen.
Day 3 of a #HungerStrike by anonymous #autistic #cuckooing victim who has endured 4 years of the #corrupt Cheshire Police refusing to prosecute the perpetrators and return her house, identity, and life. Any #probono #lawyer willing and able to help end this #modernslavery?
Here is her story:
"I have stopped eating as a result of the police and the government, refusing to address the crimes I am a victim of. Which has made surviving in the UK impossible for me..."
#KamalaHarris hubbie Doug Emhoff stepped back from his #BigLaw #legal work during her DC ascendancy, but has been teaching at #GeorgetownLaw. The #NationalLawJournal spoke with him recently on his passions for #teaching, and perhaps stepping up to #advocate for causes such as #ProBono #LegalAid should he become the nation's first ever "first gentleman".
I know a guy who painted a bunch of murals. Recently, he was surprised to see one copied on a different building in a new town. He hasn't got the $$$ for a lengthy lawsuit*, but any #lawyer on here interested in handling, #probono , something that sounds pretty open & shut?
*Crazy, right? An artist without a ton of money?
I'll be rejoining our local legal Action Committee for People With #Disabilities, this Fall. I worked for them many years ago to help elderly & #disabled locals fight government & private companies in court; against discrimination for housing for disabled, for #HumanRights /accessibility rights to essential supports/services & also employment related discrimination. We do #advocacy & #ProBono #LegalWork for disabled in #VictoriaBC .
We also provide #free translation services for #POC & disabled
Are you an open source project in need of a nice accessible WCAG2-compatible landing page? Feel free to hit me up.
Came up with a word #GrowBono to describe improving #probono legal efforts at scale.
#Bloomberg News just published my opinion piece about the concept, which is a cool first for me!
I discuss the work we're doing @SuffolkLITLab, tools built with the former Community.Lawyer to automate record sealing, and my work at GBLS
Finally, I am able to share the #ecology #posters I have been working on the last few weeks in my spare time. I had also made versions with black text on bright background. These are now ready to go to the printers, whatever version SEC are going for!
