Jennifer Pan just won at the @SCC_eng. Amazing work by her appellate counsel @SDiGiuseppeLaw! At @BreanaVandebeek and I spoke to Jennifer and we are gearing up for the re-trial. There will be new evidence and a challenge to the very un-Canadian police commentary on @netflix.

EXCLUSIVE: Late last month, I was in Brampton court to cover a pre-trial hearing in a high-profile child homicide case. I thought I wouldn't be able to report on what happened for months, because of the pub ban on jury trials. Then the case fell apart. https://t.co/b6lFtJoRPe
Last week I got to share a Courtroom at the Brampton Courthouse with @gorhamlaw, @BreanaVandebeek@_RickFrank@amyousseflaw and my articling students. It was a dream team that did amazings things for the confidence of our criminal justice system.
WiCCD members were grateful to be included as mentors and mooters in this inaugural Rosenberg Moot.
A wonderful experience for all concerned.
Our profound thanks to the @ONCA_en for hosting the program.

Had a great week running a murder prelim in Pembrook, Ontario, with my law partner @gorhamlaw, my superstar articling student @amyousseflaw and our furry firm members Gancho, Gucci, Frankie and Fendi. I’m lucky to have such a fun practice!
Yesterday a jury gave a deserving client a second chance by terminating his 25year parole ineligibility period after spending 17+ years in jail. My amazing principal @BreanaVandebeek put me on the file with her on my first day with the firm over two years ago. Best feeling ever!
Great first day with two amazing up and coming female lawyers!! Looking forward to all the great things they accomplish @laurenlamlaw@amyousseflaw@WICCD_Canada

So exciting to watch one of my mentors @BreanaVandebeek make submissions at the SCC today! It’s always a pleasure helping her prepare for hearings, but it’s extra special when it’s in front of Canada’s highest court
