At the end of the month of May, Dominican Republic lawmakers passed a new naturalization law proposed by President Danilo Medina. In a letter to the president of the House of Representatives, President Medina wrote that the new law would help create a country with no exclusion and discrimination.

After months of local protest and international pressure against the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court’s ruling, lawmakers passed a new law which will set a system to grant naturalization to Dominican-born children of immigrants -- including a significant number of immigrants or Haitian descents. Still, many think that this regularization plan will only resolve the problem for a limited number with documents, since many others are living in the country without documentation.

Hastings-to-Haiti Partnership & UC Hastings Law Library Release New Research Tutorial, Assist French-Speakers in Developing Nations Strengthen Rule of Law

The Hastings-to-Haiti Partnership (HHP) and the University of California Hastings College of the Law Library have created a new international and foreign law research tutorial for users in French-speaking developing nations. The tutorial is free, as is the accompanying manual and search engines identified, and available online at no cost through the HHP website: www.HastingstoHaiti.org.
"Researching law can pose significant obstacles for lawyers and law students in developing countries, where access to the internet and print materials is limited," says Karen Musalo, HHP Faculty Co-cordinator, UC Hastings Clinical Professor of Law, and Center for Gender & Refugee Studies Director. "Given a dearth of financial resources, identifying free search engines is also of concern."
The tutorial is not specific to Haiti and can be used by French-speaking law students and attorneys worldwide. It is divided into two videos, each less than twenty minutes in length, which can be loaded using the internet and then viewed off-line. The HHP identified a need for this resource through the organization's thirteen-year long collaboration with the Catholic Law School of Jérémie (ESCDROJ), located in rural Haiti.
ESCDROJ students and professors have expressed frustration at the lack of legal resources available in Haiti and the barrier this poses to students completing their memoire (or dissertation), a significant piece of legal research and writing, that is required to become a licensed attorney. The hope is that students will be able to use the tutorials to help them complete their memoires and carry the lessons into their future practice, thereby strengthening the rule of law in Haiti.

During the summer of 2010, three BU Law students, Valerie Kua ('11), Mark Goracke ('12) and Julia Gregoire ('11), interned with a non-profit called Internet Bar Organization to work on the "Haiti Sings" project. The goal was to teach Haitian musicians about their legal rights while encouraging them to showcase their talent over the Internet. BU Law students helped prepare training packages for the musicians, and Gregoire traveled with the team to Haiti to teach a legal workshop and help with French translation.
"I was just really excited about the project and the idea of actually doing something," said Gregoire. "In as little as one to two weeks we had found all these people, auditioned 60 people, recorded 20, taught them marketing skills and legal rights, met their extended families, videotaped biographies of them and then put them on the Internet and shared them with the world."

Port-au-Prince, 8 February 2010
1. Jorge Puello, lawyer from the Dominican Republic hired by relatives of detained US Baptists, arriving at court
2. Tracking shot of Puello walking
STORYLINE:
A Dominican man who has served as legal adviser and spokesman for ten US citizens held in Haiti on child-kidnapping charges has no license to practice law in his native country, officials said on Friday.
Jorge Puello, who has been a high-profile advocate for the jailed Baptists as they navigate the Haitian justice system, is in apparent violation of Dominican law for failing to register with the local bar association or obtain a license, the vice president of the Dominican Lawyers Association said.
The vice-president, Jose Parra, said his organisation was still investigating the situation and might file a complaint with the Justice Department, which could pursue criminal charges.
A web site for Puello Consulting says it has offered ''full legal services'' for businesses in the Dominican
Republic and elsewhere since 2005 but the site was taken down on Friday for unknown reasons.
It was unclear whether Puello''s alleged lack of credentials would have any effect on the Americans who were detained in Haiti for allegedly trying to take 33 children out of the country without proper authorisation following the country''s earthquake on 12 January, 2010.
On Thursday a Haitian judge recommended their provisional release but all 10 remain in jail pending a response from the prosecutor, who has said he will respond next week.
Puello had said last week that nine of the 10 were about to be released, and he told reporters on Wednesday that the Haitian court was going to drop all charges against his clients.
Sean Lankford of Meridian, Idaho, whose wife and daughter are among those detained, said Puello provided his services for free, after contacting relatives to offer his help.

Haiti
Coordinates: 19°00′N 72°25′W / 19.000°N 72.417°W / 19.000; -72.417
Haiti (
i/ˈheɪti/; French: Haïti [a.iti]; Haitian Creole: Ayiti [ajiti]), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole: Repiblik Ayiti), is a country in the western hemisphere, and is located on the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) in size and has an estimated 10.6 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the third-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.
Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people, Europeans first became aware of the island on December 5, 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic. When Columbus first landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia. Deciding to establish the first settlement in the area, a contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad because of the wreck to their sunken flagship, the Santa Maria, that occurred at Christmas, north of what is now Limonade. The island was named Hispaniola and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century. Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France, which named it Saint-Domingue. The development of sugarcane plantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa, led to the colony being among the most lucrative in the world.

STORYLINE:
A Dominican man who has served as legal adviser and spokesman for ten US citizens held in Haiti on child-kidnapping charges has no license to practice law in his native country, officials said on Friday.
Jorge Puello, who has been a high-profile advocate for the jailed Baptists as they navigate the Haitian justice system, is in apparent violation of Dominican law for failing to register with the local bar association or obtain a license, the vice president of the Dominican Lawyers Association said.
The vice-president, Jose Parra, said his organisation was still investigating the situation and might file a complaint with the Justice Department, which could pursue criminal charges.
A web site for Puello Consulting says it has offered ''full legal services'' for businesses in the Dominican
Republic and elsewhere since 2005 but the site was taken down on Friday for unknown reasons.
It was unclear whether Puello''s alleged lack of credentials would have any effect on the Americans who were detained in Haiti for allegedly trying to take 33 children out of the country without proper authorisation following the country''s earthquake on 12 January, 2010.
On Thursday a Haitian judge recommended their provisional release but all 10 remain in jail pending a response from the prosecutor, who has said he will respond next week.
Puello had said last week that nine of the 10 were about to be released, and he told reporters on Wednesday that the Haitian court was going to drop all charges against his clients.
Sean Lankford of Meridian, Idaho, whose wife and daughter are among those detained, said Puello provided his services for free, after contacting relatives to offer his help.

Love Voodoo
When I first met you on the roof you caught me with your web of youth
But now I know the wicked truth it's much too late so what's the use in fighting
You peel me like an onion skin and wonder at the state I'm in
One day you'll turn up to begin and find there's nothing left but innunendo (innuendo)
Beside you others fade away like amatures in love charade much more than just a game you play
These subtle moves become a way of living
Night after night I try to prove that I can resist you
Tied up inside you're love voodoo designed to manipulate
The queen of sensuality you shelter me from liberty
It's nothing short of piracy that's not to say it doesn't please me sometimes
Now this may come as no surprise but I'm content to (no surprise) compromise
Until the day you (no surprise) realize that I have been(no surprise)
Manipulating you (no surprise, no surprise) manipulating
Night after night I try to proove that I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate
Night, after night, after night, after night, after night, I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate
Night after night I try to proove that I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate
Night after night I try to proove that I can resist you
And I'm tied tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate
In the night night after night i try to prove that I can resist you
Yes I'm tied tied up inside your love voodoo designed to manipulate
