Kanye West’s former attorneys have finally tracked down the elusive artist and cut ties with him, even as he faces a slew of lawsuits, according to reports.
Many companies and business partners severed ties with the West amid his racist and antisemitic behavior last fall, but his lawyers had to serve him with legally required notice before dropping him as a client.

Taylor, 58, is scheduled to die at the state prison Bonne Terre, Missouri, for the killings of his live-in girlfriend and her three young children nearly two decades ago. Attorney Kent Gipson’s motion asks the Supreme Court to grant a stay of execution and appoint a special master to review Taylor’s innocence claim. A similar request to the Missouri Supreme Court was turned aside late Monday.

The New Zealand Law Society has announced its moves to adapt to the rapidly changing legal marketplace by working on ‘strategic priorities’.
A news release from the Society (published below) shows that the Society is developing a “fit-for-future” role as the profession’s regulator after a tumultuous time both within the profession and within the NZ Law Society itself, following the resignation of both the former recently appointed Chief Executive Joanna Simon and the resigning of the elected president Jacqui Lethbridge.
