...Times two days after the murders. "I'm just furious." Judges get threatened more often than the public might imagine, but the murder of Lefkow's family has rattled courthouses around the nation. This is not supposed to happen in America. "It's news that makes your whole body hurt," says Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, a colleague of Lefkow's. "What an enormous, monstrous evil." The hunt for suspects is relentless because of the symbolic importance of punishing the killers. And the list of possible motives is long. But judges are also asking whether it is possible to better protect those...

Normal people who want to invest in Ukraine are scared to come. This fear must be overcome. The government's opponents say that your reprivatization process will hurt investment in ukraine. All the properties that were commercially valuable were brazenly carved up by [President Leonid Kuchma's] entourage over the last decade. All the rest was left to rot. Everything that went through legal procedures established for privatization is inviolable. But whatever was handed out for free to the entourage...

And a task force, established by the government last August and headed by University of Sydney law professor Patrick Parkinson, will report soon with ideas on reforming that instrument of justice that enrages separated parents, mostly fathers, as nothing else does: the wage-garnishing Child Support Scheme...
