Also there’s a decent chance the client that got wrecked will thank you for the rest of their life and the one you pulled off a miracle for will file a bar complaint.
Liberals have really screwed up collective bargaining in federal sector.
“Intervention Expectation” is my newly coined phrase. Going in my textbooks.
Now parties weigh every proposal against whether they’d likely do better if arbitration is imposed. This impedes bargaining.
@ASFleischman Findings of guilt are actually determined by moose race in criminal matters. Trial by beaver is only for civil cases.
In all seriousness the bar up here is understandably up in arms about this opinion which reeks of its own form of misogyny
Female criminal defence lawyers are not ‘human shields in skirts.’ We are skilled, principled advocates in a male-dominated field. Misogynistic takes like this push women out of the profession—and that’s exactly the problem.” #CriminalDefence#WomenInLaw

This kind of nonsense that can only come from a small thinker. It is not writing with "courage and candour". It is an insult to the star lawyers (some of whom were addressed as "Ms.") that prevented a miscarriage of justice: Why do female lawyers represent men in sexual crimes?

@DougtheLawyer The exercise itself is one thing; but wouldn’t this be better if the person doing the running was a member of staff or a law student? Counsel’s made himself a witness
@alittleleader That was the case here too— but then our Supreme Court imposed hard time limits on proceedings beyond which they must be stayed (30 months in superior court) and the legislative response was to restrict the availability of prelims. It has not helped.
This viral photo of a ‘Liberal Boomer’ is missing context. He was being harassed by far-right activists
A Liberal supporter is now facing doxxing and online harassment after an aggressive group of far-right activists crashed a Mark Carney event

@profbenperrin@MarkJCarney Query how adding hate motivated murders as constructive first will make any practical difference--in what scenarios would the Crown be able to prove a hate purpose but not able to prove planning and deliberation?
