Trademark registration in Tajikistan
Tajikistan: registration of trademark
Local production is progressing in the territory of Tajikistan, but local residents are increasingly paying attention to imported goods, which enables foreign entrepreneurs to quickly establish and develop their own business industry.
Our company provides a set of services aimed at prompt preparation of documentation for obtaining trademark in Tajikistan. Lawyers have detailed knowledge with the regulations for protecting intellectual property of the state, which allows to compile logos and packages of official documents with the utmost precision and in compliance with the law.
Procedure for registering a brand name in Tajikistan
1. The client applies to Law&Trust, where he receives detailed consultation concerning all the issues relating to the registration of trademark in Tajikistan. Our specialists provide the client with an application form that should be filled in, signed and sent back together with a color copy of the passport, as well as a power of attorney to represent the client's interests in the tax authorities of the country. The latter is necessary for the lawyer to collect the entire package of documentation by himself.
2. Individuals and entrepreneurs apply to us, however, regardless of the client's category for registering trademark in Tajikistan, it is necessary to have a graphic image of the trademark. The logo is created by the client himself or with the help of professional designers. It should be completely unique and not contain immoral elements, as well as calls for violation of the law. The overwhelming majority of the residents of Tajikistan profess Islam, and the above fact should be taken into account when elaborating the layout of the logo.
3. Prepared package of documents goes through the process of proofreading for mistakes and legal inconsistencies. Russian language is used in the country, on a par with the state language, so translation will not be required for applications of the CIS citizens. The text in English and other languages is interpreted with maximum accuracy for simplicity of reading and understanding by representatives of foreign jurisdictions.
The verification period by the Commission for the Protection of Intellectual Property of Tajikistan takes from one to two years. This term is enough for examining the economic market of the state and thinking over the business development strategy. Our lawyers guarantee constant legal support and monitoring all the stages of consideration of the application.
The trademark is issued for 10 years, and the renewal implies contribution of state commission fees. Detailed information on the cost of the service, as well as details of the process of registration of trademark in Tajikistan, can be clarified during personal consultation with our lawyer.

Palace: Arrest order vs De Lima 'major step forward' in drug war
Feb 23, 2017 7:52 PM PHT

'The arrest of an incumbent senator demonstrates the President's strong resolve to fight pushers, peddlers, and their protectors,' says Malacañang
MANILA, Philippines – Malacañang on Thursday, February 23, welcomed the issuance of a warrant of arrest against Senator Leila de Lima for drug charges, calling it a "major step forward" in the administration's war against illegal drugs.
"It is a fulfillment of the campaign promise of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to rid Philippine society of drugs, crime, and corruption," said the Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella on Thursday, February 23.
"The arrest of an incumbent senator demonstrates the President's strong resolve to fight pushers, peddlers, and their protectors," he added.
Duterte's spokesman also said this is an opportunity for De Lima to prove her innocence.
"Senator De Lima will now have her day in court where she will have full opportunity to prove her claim of innocence," said Abella.
A few hours earlier, Judge Juanita Guerrero of the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court Branch 204 issued an order of arrest and a corresponding arrest warrant against De Lima, former Bureau of Corrections chief Rafael Ragos, and Ronnie Dayan, her alleged bagman.
This comes less than a week after the Department of Justice filed charges against her for allegedly receiving drug money from convicts in exchange for their protection when she headed the DOJ.
Chief Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo said De Lima should "welcome" the arrest "as she is now given the opportunity to refute any and all allegations."
"This is where the real battle begins and not in the media that she relishes to use against the President," said Panelo in a message to reporters.
He attributed the order to arrest De Lima as "karma" since she played a role in the arrest of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when she was justice secretary of the previous administraiton.
Panelo, a close friend of Arroyo, claimed that De Lima "shamelessly denied" the former president due process.
"The law of karma has finally caught up with the Senator in terms of being arrested and detained," said Panelo.
He, however, recognized that De Lima is still "constitutionally presumed innocent" until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. – Rappler.com

SEOUL, Dec. 17 (Korea Bizwire) – Survey results revealed that seven out of ten large corporations with more than 300 employees would try to reform their salary schemes if the government pushes for mandating the retirement age to 60.
According to a survey conducted by Research & Research commissioned by the Federation of Korean Industries, the average ratio of employees who stay with the company until the retirement age was 59.1 percent, with most of those who do consisting of production and production administrative workers. The survey sent out the questionnaire to Korea's top-500 firms in terms of sales revenue and 181 firms answered the questions.
The average retirement age for the respondent firms stipulated under the employment contract was 58.2 years of age. The percentage of those firms allowing their workers to stay with them over 60 years was 28.7 percent.
Of the total respondents, 75.7 percent of the firms said they would institute a reform in their wage schemes such as the wage peak scheme, including 32.0 percent who answered that they would introduce a wage peak scheme or reform the overall wage system, 23.2 percent of those who replied the introduction of a wage peak system starting from those to benefit from the retirement age extension, and 20.5 percent of those who said they will expand the currently applicable wage scheme.
As to the question what's needed most for introducing the wage peak system, 28.2 percent said introduction of a bill to mandate such a scheme, 27.6 percent responded the government's financial assistance when introducing the scheme, 25.4 percent picked cooperative relationship with workers and unions, and 17.1 percent said workers must not see the introduction of the scheme as a change for the worse.
As to the question what impact the legally binding rule to mandate the retirement age to 60 would have on their business, 32.6 percent said it would be very negative while 39.8 percent and 26.0 percent answered slightly negative and no impact, respectively.


10-year-old Karolina Protsenko, a violinist, was practicing outside when she received an unexpected visitor. A squirrel appeared out of nowhere and stayed to hear her play. She was practicing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" when the squirrel passed through. She continued to play even when the squirrel meant to leave. But it seemed the squirrel was hypnotized by Karolina's violin skills and stayed to listen to the rest of the song.
According to veterinarians, Leanne Alworth, and Shawna Buerkle, in their paper "The effects of music on animal physiology, behavior and welfare," "The changes in physiology, cognition and brain chemistry and morphology induced by music have been studied in animal models, providing evidence that music may affect animals similarly to humans." So that means, whatever effect violin or classical music has on us has the same or similar effect on animals. Just as humans would stop when they hear Karolina's public performances, this squirrel also had the same feeling when he passed through Karolina during her practice.
Karolina Protsenko is a 10-year-old violinist, born and raised in the United States. She has been playing the violin since she was six years old and has already released an album with her cover versions of "Fix You" by Coldplay, the classic "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and Disney movie, Frozen's, famous theme song "Let It Go."
She has almost 600,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel plus more than 100,000 views on her videos, with one even reaching 4.7M views! That's her cover of Sunflower from Spiderman: Into The Verse. Her videos on YouTube feature her performances in public places outside, where crowds gather around her and watch her perform popular songs on her violin.
Her subscribers loved this video! One subscriber said, "Cool. It looked like those Disney moments when the princess sings and the cute animals come." Another one was jealous of the squirrel, "That must be one rich squirrel to be able to afford his own private concert." And someone else said, "It proves not only humans but also animals love music."
Her Facebook has more than 200,000 followers and her fans keep looking forward to visiting her page and channel to brighten their days with her performances. Some say, "Let this great girl be role model for our kids." While others say, "You have the voice of an angel, incredible talent." And others say, "What an incredible talent! This young lady is so good and has great stage presence. I love listening to her."
Check out below why this squirrel was so hypnotized with her beautiful music.

A game theorist's advice to President Trump on filling the Supreme Court seat | Bhaskar Chakravorti in The Hill
September 25, 2020 September 25, 2020 Joseph Nallen Bhaskar Chakravorti, Donald Trump, game theory, political strategy, strategy, Supreme Court, The Hill, United States, US Politics
Excerpt taken from Bhaskar Chakravorti's article in The Hill
I have worked for over 30 years in competitive strategy. I teach it to future business and policy leaders, diplomats, global development leaders and social entrepreneurs. I have been a leader of the competitive strategy practices in two influential global consulting firms, where I advised CEOs, boards and policy heads. My academic training is as a game theorist, the science of figuring out your next move while anticipating the competitor's moves to follow. Despite these credentials, I have never been invited to advise Donald Trump on competitive strategy.
But as an unpaid, uninvited advisor, here is my recommended strategy to the president. His best bet now is to turn his back on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and leave the Supreme Court seat vacated by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg unfilled until after the election.
Of course, that is not the course he is taking. I am sure, curious person that he is, he would ask: Why?
Before I answer that question, let me share what, in my opinion, game theorists would call a dominant strategy for Democrats. Commit to a credible threat: Promise that if they win the White House and Senate, they will abolish the filibuster and expand the size of the Supreme Court if the Republicans push through a new justice in the lame duck period. This is what my own senator, Ed Markey (D-Mass.), has promised. The rest of the party needs to join him. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Joe Biden's running mate, is warm to the idea of expanding the court. This could neutralize a conservative tilt to the makeup of the court. Of course, this is risky. Biden has not been supportive of such "court packing" proposals in the past — but now the game has changed.

GE puts UW student's theory to the test: You can unring a bell
Sara Griswold | University Communications
UW biomedical engineering undergraduate Chris Nguyen (right) receives a GE Unimpossible Missions Award from Tony Denhart, GE Global University Relations
UW-Madison engineering student Chris Nguyen of Waukesha, Wisconsin, won GE's "Unimpossible Missions: The University Edition" competition last fall, receiving a 10-week paid internship at the GE Global Research Center and a scholarship of up to $100,000 to continue his education.
The contest challenged students to disprove a catchphrase using GE technology. Nguyen chose "You can't unring a bell" and as part of his prize, he got to have his idea filmed. GE recently released the video.
University Communications caught up with Nguyen to ask how it feels to see his idea come to life.
Q: How did you get the idea to do your project on 'unringing a bell'?
When I had heard about the competition, I knew I wanted to come up with something clever. I scoured the internet for idioms from different countries and created a list that I may want to tackle (there were about 10 on the list). … I was researching headphones for an upcoming purchase and upon looking into noise cancellation, the solution to the experiment was found.
Q: How long did it take you to do the research and experiment to figure out the solution?
The most difficult part of this challenge was to find an idiom that could be debunked in a clever way. Once I found the idiom and the corresponding technology, it did not take long to put it together. I am very grateful to GE for making it possible.
Q: What will you be doing during your internship this summer?
I will be graduating in May and am excited to be at the Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York, for my internship this summer. I have gotten the opportunity to speak to several project leaders about their projects and we are in the process of determining which one I will be working on.
I am planning on returning to UW-Madison in September to get my master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. I am hoping to do research in mechatronics and biomechatronics.
Q: What do you think of the video?
The video was incredible and it was exciting to see my experiment performed at such a large scale. During my visit to the GRC, I was able to participate in several scenes of the video. Due to fall classes, I was unavailable to go to Myanmar for the grand experiment. However, I am extremely happy with it and am glad that it worked as planned!
This entire experience has been a blast and I am grateful to GE for the opportunity. I am incredibly thankful for all the support from my professors, mentors, fellow Badgers, and UW staff; without them, this would have been impossible.

What We Are Working On
BC's independent
watchdog for
sound forest
Board to audit forestry companies in Burns Lake area
VICTORIA – The Forest Practices Board will examine the activities of 639881 BC Ltd. on forest licence A72921 and Burnslake Specialty Wood Ltd. on non-replaceable forest licence A66762, during the week of Sept. 16.
The auditors will examine timber harvesting, road construction, maintenance, silviculture, fire prevention and associated planning activities carried out by the two companies for compliance with forest practices legislation.
The audit area lies within the Lakes timber supply area (TSA). The Lakes TSA is part of the Nadina District, which encompasses the communities of Burns Lake, Houston and Granisle, and extends from Tweedsmuir Park in the south to the Babine Mountains in the north, and from Hungry Hill in the west to the Endako River in the east.
Most of the harvest is of beetle-killed wood. The annual allowable cut for the district has steadily increased since the late 1990s, as a result of the beetle epidemic.
Once the audit work is completed, a report will be prepared, and any party that may be adversely affected by the audit findings will have a chance to respond. The board's final report and recommendations will then be released to the public and government.
The Forest Practices Board is B.C.'s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.
The board audits forest and range practices on public land, as well as appropriateness of government enforcement.
More information can be obtained by contacting:

It is not known when and by whom Mars was discovered to be a planet, but its existence has been documented for thousands of years
The planet is named after 'Mars' the Roman god of war. The Greeks called it 'Ares' after their god of war. It is nicknamed the 'Red Planet' because of the iron oxide (rust) on its surface
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, at a distance of almost 142 000 000 miles. It takes mars approximately 687 days to orbit the sun
It is 4221 miles in diameter at the equator which is roughly half the size of the earth. A Martian day lasts 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds
It has two small moons Phobos and Deimos. Both of which were discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877. Phobos in the next 10-50 million years will be torn apart by the gravity of Mars
There are three functioning man made spacecraft orbiting the red planet and as of 2011 there are two working rovers also operating on the planet's surface
The southern ice cap which is around 420 km across, contains enough water to cover the entire planet 11 meters deep
The largest known volcano in the solar system Olympus Mons is on Mars, it is 16 miles high and 370 miles in diameter. The Valles Marineris stretching over 3000km, is the largest canyon in the solar system
Mars thin atmosphere is mostly comprised of carbon dioxide. In 2009 NASA scientists indicted that the large plumes of methane found above some regions of Mars could be generated by biological processes, possibly life forms
It is calculated that it would take a manned space craft around 15 months to reach Mars and back

The Freescale Cup, sponsored by Freescale Semiconductor, is part of Freescale's University Programs. The Challenge, which has been in existence for the past 13 years, has been targeting college students all across the globe. It presents them with an opportunity to experience and learn major concepts of mechanical, electrical and computing engineering technologies in a fun and competitive environment.
Student teams are challenged to build, programme and race an intelligent model car around a track. The car is autonomous and must stay on the racetrack at all times. The fastest car to complete the track without going off the track wins the race. Cars are powered by powered be a Freescale 32-bit processor or MCU technology, products which are widely used in the industry. The cars share the same chassis basis and use similar batteries.
Twenty-five students, mentored by their faculty advisors, raced their cars on the 2015 Freescale Cup track at Fraunhofer IIS. The 180m2 racetrack consisted of speed bumps, intersections, hills and chicane curves.
This year, students have qualified around the world on a racetrack where the blacklines are on the outside of the race track and no longer just a single line in the center, giving students an additional challenge in making sure their cars remain between the lines on the track.
Students have been working for the past 6 months to assemble, program and test their vehicles. They had 6.5 hours to test and fine-tune their vehicles before the decisive race. During the training period, students had to prepare their car's ability to avoid exiting the racetrack, quickly accelerate and brake within a given distance.

The Bartlett has long been a popular pear because of its dependability and flavor. With the vibrant blooms in the spring, it is also attractive whether planted near the home or in the orchard. Because it bears a large amount of nutritious and delicious fruit, it encourages a healthy diet.
Tasty Bartlett pears are often recommended due to their low sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat. One pear gives you 20% of recommended daily fiber, 10% of the recommended amount of vitamin C and notable doses of calcium, iron and vitamin A. This makes them a very versatile choice for a great many diets.
An ornamental tree with a strong yield!
The Bartlett produces amazingly sweet, crisp and flavorful fruits. Because they can ripen on the tree or indoors, you can pick them whenever you wish. Of course, when allowed to tree ripen, the fruit will have a more traditional, sweeter flavor than anything you'll ever find in the store.
So many pears, you'll have to share!
The Bartlett Pear tree is a self pollinator, which makes it a great option for gardeners with smaller spaces. Just one tree will produce multiple bushels of sweet, delicious pears. More to share with friends, family and neighbors! Eat them fresh and crisp. Can them to help weather the winter. Cook them into deliciously unforgettable desserts.
Bartlett Pear trees prefer sunny areas with well draining soil. Because the blooms are delicate, be sure that the spot chosen for your tree is protected from the frosts that often occur in late spring. You don't want the frost to destroy the blooms, as that can jeopardize fruiting.
A lifetime of organic pears!
There's no more worry when you grow your own fruit. You know exactly how your pears are grown. The bonus? You can walk right outside and pick it fresh from the tree! Fruit has ten times the flavor when you pick it fresh off the tree. Just imagine the money that you'll save each and every year!

Armored Vehicles, IFVs
CIO (Consorzio Iveco-Oto Melara), a consortium consisting of the partially (30.2%) state-owned Italian company Leonardo and Iveco, has revealed a first 3D rendering of its offer for the Italian Army's Armored Infantry Combat System (AICS) program. The goal of this program is to replace the Dardo infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and the venerable M113 armored personnel carriers (APCs) with a new, modern solution. According to RID, the Italian Army has issued an requirement for a total of 679 vehicles. The costs of the AICS project are expected to be about six billion euros, but at the current stage only a few million euros have been approved for the next year; however a total of €2.141 billion euros is already secured for the program until 2035.
The infantry fighting vehicle proposed by CIO has a very conventional layout: it features a front-mounted power pack with the driver being seated next to the engine, a well sloped glacis plate, a two-men turret located in the center of the IFV, and a large dismount compartment in the rear including a large ramp for ingress and egress. The new vehicle designed for the AICS program uses a drivetrain containing seven road wheels, and is fitted with steel tracks featuring rubber-pads – on many other IFV designs, the manufacturers have opted for lighter rubber band composite tracks. In a fashion similar to other IFVs such as the CV90, the Dardo, the Marder and the Lynx IFVs, the exhaust system of CIO's new design for the AICS program is located at the rear. A rear exhaust makes the vehicle layout a bit more complicated, but has a positive impact on the thermal signature when the vehicle is seen from the front.
HITFIST turret on Freccia Combat controcarro and Rosomak
The new IFV from CIO is fitted with a variant of Leonardo's Hitfist turret, similar to the one already fielded on the Freccia 8×8 wheeled IFV. As this turret is expected to offer commonality with the already fielded Hitfist designs, it is believed to be substantially cheaper – especially when considering the aspect of logisitics – than a brand new turret design, though performance may be lackluster in some aspects compared to a state-of-the-art solution. Curiously CIO has proposed to use an unmanned Hitfist OWS for the next version of the Freccia IFV, i.e. the so-called Freccia Evo.
HITFIST OWS on Freccia
The Hitfist turret on CIO's current design is apparently fitted with a fully stabilized Northrop-Grumman's Mk 44 Bushmaster II chain gun chambered in the 30 x 173 mm caliber. When mounted in a Hitfist turret, the gun has a maximium depression of -10° and a maximum elevation of 60°. The Mk 44 Bushmaster chain gun has also been proposed as potential main armament for the Freccia EVO. In addition to its main gun, a coaxial machine gun of currently unspecified type is also located in the turret. Based on the extremely limited imagery, the 30 mm Mk 44 Bushmaster gun as fitted to CIO's new IFV includes a magnetic coil at the tip of the barrel, which is used for setting the fuze of programmable air-burst munition (ABM) rounds. The vehicle appears to not feature any anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launchers, which is in line with current Italian IFV. Only a small number of Italy's IFV fleet has been fitted with Spike-LR ATGM launchers: twenty of the tracked Dardo IFVs and 36 wheeled Freccia IFVs in the Combat controcarro (Combat anti-tank) version have received such systems. Two banks of four smoke grenade dischargers each provide the Hitfist turret with a self-defence capability.
In case of the new AICS proposal by CIO, a tall wire cutter and meteorological mast are installed on top of the turret. Furthermore Leonardo's Janus RSTA sight is provided as independent optic for the commander. The dtr features an eye-safe laser rangefinder with 20,000 metres range, a third generation thermal imager based on a 640 by 512 element MCT focal plane array (FPA), and a CCD daylight camera for a 530 TV line resolution, which provides output in the standard PAL format. According to Leonardo, this optic allows the crew to detect a tank-sized target at nearly 15 kilometres distance, recognize the same target at circa 5 kilometres distance and identify it at nearly 2.5 kilometres distance. It is possible that an upgraded version of the Janus sight will be used by CIO; at least the daylight camera's performance is not up to the standards of current products offered by Leonardo and its competition.
At the current stage not much is known regarding the protection level, weight and power pack of CIO's new IFV design. The fact that it features seven road wheel pairs as well as the usage of conventional steel tracks suggests a higher combat weight compared to Dardo & Freccia, which also would suggest that the proposed IFV for AICS reaches a higher level of ballistic and mine protection compared to the previously mentioned earlier vehicles. It wouldn't be surprising that a ballistic protection level in accordance with STANAG 4569 Level 6 and mine protection level in accordance with STANAG 4569 Level 4a/b is desired; at least this seems to be the usual requirement in multiple currently on-going IFV procurement programs.
The FPT V20 could be used to power CIO's AICS candidate
It has been speculated that the new IFV offered by the Consorzio Iveco-Oto Melara might utilize the FPT V20 engine made by the Italian company FPT Industrial S.p.A.; a smaller version of this engine is already fielded on the Centauro II mobile gun system/tank destroyer. The FPT V20 features eight cylinders in a 90° V configuration and has a displacement of 20 litres. Is uses common rail injection and a turbocharger to reach a maximum output of 670 kW (911 horsepowers) at 1,800 rpm. The engine can provide a maximum torque of 4,100 Nm at 1,500 rpm. The FPT V20 has a weight of 1,600 kilograms. It might be coupled to a hybrid electric drive capable transmission.
An alternative to CIO's design: the Lynx KF41
Italy has a history of purchasing locally made vehicles, i.e. designs of its own (partially state-owned) industry. Over different restructurings most of this has ended becoming part of CIO. The lack of competition against foreign designs and being designed strictly for the domestic requirements has resulted in the Italian Army fielding a number of unique armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) with only limited export success – Iveco's LMV being the big exception to this rule. However it is worth noting that Rheinmetall Italia has proposed the Lynx KF41 IFV as alternative to CIO's design. The vehicle is offered with local industry involvement (including "italization" by using locally made components) and as part of a Italian-German defence cooperation agreement, that also might lead to Italy gaining access to the Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) program. Under the MGCS program a multi-platform next-generation combat system is being developed, which will replace the Leclerc and Leopard 2 main battle tanks (MBTs) in the near future.

Genda Shigyō () is a Japanese paper production company which has produced ceremonial paper goods such as mizuhiki, gift wrapping and betrothal gifts since 771. It is often known as one of the oldest still-operating companies in the world.

History
Genda Shigyō was said to have been founded in 771 (Hogame 2) during the Nara period (710-794). Moved to Kyoto with the relocation of the capital to Heian period (794-1192). In the late Edo period, the Genda family took over the business of Zenbe Yagiya and it became Yagizen Genda Shoten. The company supplied mizuhiki to the Imperial Palace until the Meiji Era, when mizuhiki became popular among the general public. In 1986, Genda Shigyo Co. Ltd. was engaged in the manufacture of mizuhiki until the prewar period at its current location, and now handles the wholesale and printing of products using mizuhiki, ceremonial goods such as yuzuna (betrothal gifts), and other paper products.

At JFK's Terminal 4, a good weekend to be a lawyer
Alison Frankel
(Reuters) - Priya Gandhi, an in-house lawyer for an insurance company, was sitting on her couch last Saturday night, watching news reports of demonstrators at New York's JFK Airport protest the Trump administration's new immigration policy. "It ignited something inside me," she said. "I felt like: I'm going to go out there. I'm going to do what I can do."
Gandhi sent out a blast to bilingual friends who might be able to work as translators for detained immigrants and their families. Fifteen quickly volunteered, she said. She made a list of names and on Sunday morning, she and a friend brought the list and their laptops to the arrival area for JFK's Terminal 4, where an ad hoc law firm sprang up this weekend to help travelers detained under the new policy. At 10:30 Sunday morning Gandhi and her friend were shrugging off their coats and introducing themselves. By 11, Gandhi was typing on her laptop alongside three other young lawyers, all of them drafting motions for temporary restraining orders. "I don't care what my company thinks," she told me. "You have to put human decency first."
That was the prevailing spirit at Terminal 4 on Sunday morning. Dozens of mostly young lawyers milled around a diner in the arrivals area amid coffee cups, donut boxes and containers of trail mix. "We're overloaded on donuts," said Melissa Trent, who heard about the call for lawyers from a friend at the International Refugee Assistance Project. Trent works for a non-profit but volunteered on her own. She arrived at the airport on Saturday afternoon, spent the night at Terminal 4 and by Sunday morning was acting as a spokesperson for the lawyers clustered at the diner. "I'm proud of these lawyers," she told me. "I feel this is what our profession is about. It's our duty."
Seguin Strohmeier of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton also spent the night at the terminal. Strohmeier told me she headed to the airport on Saturday, as soon as she found out the International Refugee Assistance Project was looking for volunteers to represent detainees. "It seemed like an imperative, for someone practicing law, to be here," she said. At first, lawyers didn't even know who had been detained under the Trump policy. They walked around JFK's international arrival areas carrying signs in Arabic and English, hoping family members would spot them and ask for help.
Cleary volunteers, led by pro bono coordinator Jennifer Kroman, filed habeas petitions for four detainees. By Sunday morning, the firm had obtained the release of two of its clients. One was still detained behind the Customs and Border Protection barrier. Cleary's fourth client, a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic whose passport is from Sudan, was diverted back to Saudi Arabia, despite an order Saturday night from U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly of Brooklyn to halt the deportation of travelers detained under the Trump administration policy.
"I keep thinking about that, going on vacation and not being able to come home," Cleary's Kroman said. (Cleary was just one of the big firms whose lawyers showed up at Terminal 4. Others included Hogan Lovells, Davis Polk & Wardwell, Kirkland & Ellis and Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison.)
A sign at the unmanned check-in table for volunteer lawyers provided wifi login information and a password for a file-sharing site with templates for habeas petitions and other filings. Lawyers otherwise had to figure out what to do.
Laura Berger, a litigator for City Bar Justice Center, showed up Sunday morning in response to a 3 a.m. email from the Urban Justice Center. She told me she figured she would put to use her immigration law experience. Instead, she ended up helping the impromptu Terminal 4 team write a press release. "It's controlled chaos," Berger said.
Friends and family of the travelers still in detention drifted in and out of the lawyers' realm, though lawyers had little information about when or whether particular detainees would be released. The pen outside the diner emptied when Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, a Brooklyn Democrat, showed up at the terminal. Surrounded by tired lawyers mostly in weekend clothes, the congressman looked notably crisp and official.
During Jeffries' consultation with border control agents, a rumor swept through the crowd of lawyers around the congressman that all of the remaining detainees were to be released momentarily. That turned out not to be true. But officials allowed one detained traveler out. He crossed the threshold into the din of the Terminal 4. A woman in a headscarf ran to hug him.
The lawyers parted to make way, clapping and smiling at this happy reunion. Cleary's Jen Kroman watched as the detainee walked away with his family. She had tears in her eyes.
