solicitor, barrister, Solicitor Regulation Authority



以一句“杀无赦”震惊香港政坛的立法会议员何君尧,怀疑虚报自己为“英国及威尔斯执业律师”,事件已经受到英国的事务律师监管局(Solicitor Regulation Authority)关注,并称将进一步调查。

"I appreciate that a driver of a coach or a bus can’t smoke at the wheel because obviously, that is the law of the land," he said.
「我了解汽車或巴士駕駛人不能邊開車邊抽菸,因為很清楚的,這是法治國家?。」他說。
"Of course, there are tools and things in the van but a barrister would carry about documents in a briefcase in his own car -- this is no different to my mind."
「當然,車上會有工具和一些物品,但是律師車上也會有裝著文件的公事包,我認為這是一樣的道理。」
Ceredigion County Council, which imposed the fine, said it would be inappropriate to comment on individual cases.

倫敦有個大狀很厲害。有一次,他在法庭上跟法官你來我往,咄咄迫人,法官招架不住,生氣了,就質問那個大狀:Are you trying to show your contempt to this Court!?
那個大狀不慍不火地說:No my Lord, I am trying to conceal it.

Kaaba

克爾白或稱卡巴天房الكعب,意即立方體),是一座立方體的建築物,位於伊斯蘭教聖城麥加禁寺內。相傳是第一個人阿丹(亞當)興建的,並由易卜拉欣(亞伯拉罕)和伊希梅爾(以實瑪利)修建的。克爾白是伊斯蘭教最神聖的聖地,所有教徒必須面對它的方向祈禱,而且回教的五功包括了朝覲,也就是到麥加去朝拜。




mihrab (Arabic: ألمحراب pl. محاريب 米哈拉布) is a niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the qibla, that is, the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca and hence the direction that Muslims should face when praying. The wall in which a mihrab appears is thus the "qibla wall."
Mihrabs should not be confused with the minbar, which is the pulpit from which an Imam (leader of prayer) addresses the congregation.
