• United Airlines isn't alone in overbooking. It's legal in Australia and 'fairly common' You've paid for your seat, turned up on time and next minute you're being asked to leave the plane. That's what happened to a passenger on United Airlines because the plane was overbooked — but he was literally dragged off the flight when he refused to move! Overbooking happens in Australia too, in fact an expert says it's fairly common. And while airlines here differ on what happens next, you might be able to turn the situation to your advantage.

• Legal Aid Funding Crisis Calls by academic lawyers, lawyer organisations and legal assistance organisations for increased funding in the May budget for legal aid and a reversal of proposed community legal centre funding cuts should be heeded by the federal government,

A group of UVA law librarians, faculty, and alumni have assembled a database of drafting histories from the major post-World War II human rights treaties.

At the “What’s Next for Human Rights Scholarship?” conference on March 31, law librarians Ben Doherty and Loren Moulds presented the Law Library’s new searchable database of preparatory works, or travaux préparatoires, of the United Nations’ core human rights agreements. Until the Law Library undertook the initiative, the travaux were only selectively available in electronic format, as excerpts in published guides to the travaux, and in hardcopy or microfiche at U.N. depository libraries.

The database will allow international law scholars, lawyers, and students around the world to study the origins and influences of several key sources of international law.
