We call on the @LawSocietyLSO to revert to the original licensing exam dates and to allow all students to write exams remotely. As disabled students, we are far too familiar with the ableism in the legal profession already, and we hope the LSO will not continue to perpetuate it.

I signed up for The Court this year to face my writing anxiety head-on before doing it for a career. 8 posts and 16,000 words of exposure therapy later, I'm cured (mostly)! Thanks @jayschabes and @priysharms for your excellent management this year. Dream Team!

In the shadow of overincarceration, must Parliament ensure crim. law policy doesn't affect the substantive equality promised to Indigenous people through the Gladue framework? @HarithaPopuri discusses submissions to this point in R v Sharma.

The LSO's Personal Mgmt Guideline links the stressors of this profession to ⬆️ vulnerability for mental health/wellness issues & links that to ⬆️ risks of professional misconduct. Upending students' plans to recharge before entering an avowedly brutal profession is just👌

Update for the 2022-2023 licensing examinations cycle: licensing examinations for the 2022-2023 licensing cycle will take place in-person; online examinations will not be offered. Study materials and the competencies that will be examined remain unchanged.

@mjs_DC Agreed. Canada's notwithstanding clause permits legislatures to enact laws that violate certain fundamental liberties, including speech and equality. But the 5-year expiration date + the prospect of an unforgiving electorate keeps even our most conservative governments in check.
