Someone else's Audi alteram artem

yes folks, it seems someone else had that as a blog title before i did, although he changed his url here. darn!! i was too late!!

anyway, i think the blogger's a law student from singapore and this is probably where he discovered audi alteram partem. it seems the phrase is actually a legal principle:

Audi alteram partem (or Audiatur et altera pars) is a Latin
phrase that means, literally, hear the other side or hear both sides. It stands for the principle that no one should be condemned without a hearing in which they are given the opportunity to respond to the accusations against them. It is considered a principle of fundamental justice or fairness in most legal systems that afford the accused the right to confront the witnesses against the accused and to examine the evidence presented by the state or prosecution in the process of determining one's guilt or cuplability.

(gasp!) i didn't know that it had all that legal mumbo-jumbo attached to it. i just found the phrase in a dictionary and i thought it would be a cool blog title.

anyway, i think i'll keep the title, unless he sues me.
