Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article the author discusses the right of an accused person to address the court in the language of his or her choice. She argues that court proceedings must be conducted in a language that the accused person understands so that such person may properly understand the proceedings. She examines the relevant provisions of the South African constitution in this regard and traces the rights of linguistic minorities through case law, both in South Africa and foreign jurisdictions, in particular the Canadian approach. She concludes that the accused has a fundamental right to be tried in a language which he or she understands if justice is truly to be achieved in a multicultural, multilingual country such as South Africa.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
