The last day of classes in my last term as dean, and it’s snowing a blizzard outside. So what’s a fellow to do? Buy pizza for the whole student body, that’s what! Thanks to our wonderful ⁦@UCalgaryLaw⁩ students for another great year. I’m going to miss you!

In my first blog in 2024, I explore the use of #AI facial recognition technology in the retail industry, specifically @BCInfoPrivacy investigation into @CanadianTire deployment of this tech in some of their stores in British Columbia. Check it out here: https://t.co/2O4RlybD7k

The Trial Advocacy course at @uCalgaryLaw had an impressive kickoff this week with 130 final year law students. We are honoured to be joined by over 90 volunteer instructors, comprising of lawyers and judges from the Calgary Bar and Bench. Our special guest is the Chief Justice of Alberta, Hon. Ritu Khullar who will not only deliver the Milvain Lecture but will also spend a day providing hands-on instruction to the student trial teams. This intensive block course will culminate with final moot trials, scheduled to take place before judges at the Calgary Courthouse on Jan 20th. #ExperientialLearning

Over the years & degrees have brought home Faculty newsletters/bulletins. Spousal Unit hasn't found them interesting enough to remark on the contents.
But he really liked @UCalgaryLaw Moot Times & found it interesting.
He's referenced it 2 days in a row.
Well done Moot Times!

[David V. Wright @davevwright]

Legal education of the very best kind. Inaugural ⁦@UCalgaryLaw⁩ field course on modern treaties and Indigenous self-government has been a thrill for all of us, including ⁦@robert_rch⁩ and Prof Josh Nichols. Much learning and much gratitude. 🙏

[Ian Holloway @LawProfHolloway]

Tweeps - yet another reason to be keen on @UCalgaryLaw! Not just the intellectual stimulation, but the olifactory senses get a kick, as well!

And that’s a wrap for the 30th Vis Moot! This has been the highlight of law school and I could not have imagined ending law school like this! What an incredible experience to have mooted in Vienna with a powerhouse of a team❤️

Last night, @UCalgaryLaw celebrated the values of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion. We celebrated our Muslim law students at the faculty’s historical first Iftar! And for that, I am ever so grateful to Dean Holloway & the Faculty!
