University-run legal aid forgets justice applies to men too

Community Legal Aid will no longer take on any domestic abuse cases, it announced in an email, “unless the alleged offender is a woman.”

...

The student legal aid clinic may not be a private law firm or even a legal aid office, but it still feels up to the challenge of helping women facing domestic violence charges. It’s only the men that it is not willing to help out.

Unless they are only taking cases of women vs. women, this is a contradiction

David Tanovich, a University of Windsor law professor, said that the committee that decided to exclude men wanted to address “systemic issues” faced by women in the legal system.

Yeah, women who commit DV are treated way too roughly by the justice system and men are constantly let off the hook. /s

It's still really fucking surprising to me the extent to which so-called "social justice" advocates live in a fantasy world.

Horseshit. They didn't forget a fucking thing. This was an intentional act by a group of bigots, who apparently follow the Duluth model of DV.

(evil laugh) Can I use the SPLC to sue their law center for discrimination?
