Was great fun to make my inaugural appearance on #CalledToTheBar (Irish whiskey in hand) with @drnajimagi.bsky.social and @kyrawigard.bsky.social. Is ICJ plagiarism the most important thing happening in the world right now? Definitely not. Is it decidedly not great and pretty unhelpful? You bet.

OTD 51 years ago, the Irish Supreme Court handed down its landmark ruling in McGee, which legalised contraception in Ireland. @tricondublin.bsky.social was proud to host a conference @tlrhub.bsky.social on Dec 2023 to mark the 50th anniversary of McGee. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

An honour to speak to Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC—who delivered one of the most powerful pieces of advocacy I have ever heard in the ICJ case between South Africa and Israel—about law, human rights, and, when you see injustice in the world, deciding to do something about it. Thanks Gavin for the photo!
