I’m still early in my career, but I know 30 years from now, clerking for Justice Benotto will still be one of the highlights. A passionate, dedicated judge with steadfast integrity and an incredible sense of humour. I am so lucky to have had the chance to work with her.

[Court of Appeal for Ontario @ONCA_en]

The Court of Appeal wishes Justice Mary Lou Benotto all the best in her retirement from the bench! Justice Benotto was called to the bar of Ontario in 1978. Appointed to the Superior Court in 1996, she served as a judge for 28 years, 11 years on this Court. An extraordinary jurist who left an indelible mark on the Canadian judiciary, Justice Benotto was also the longest serving chair of the Court of Appeal’s family rules committee. Her last official day was August 30, 2024.

Wish it had landed on a more exciting day than Monday, but I'll take my first one-year streak however I can get it.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in ESA yesterday brings some welcome clarity to the interpretation of statutes in light of treaties. It is also the first case in which the Court has taken notice of an explanatory memorandum. Thread… https://t.co/YqTZnlhOCw

@rmalik91 @uocommonlaw Thanks Rida! It was an incredible experience and I'm sure I'll draw on the things I learned for years to come. Couldn't have asked for a better way to close out law school.

Our journey has come to an end, and I could not be prouder of what our @uocommonlaw Vis moot team accomplished this year. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with this outstanding group, teammates and coaches alike.

[Dan Malone @ds_malone]

@alyssa_tomkins @uocommonlaw Thanks Alyssa! If I wasn't already set on litigation the Vis experience absolutely confirmed it. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

@sabaghaderi97 I'm finishing 3L right now after starting at 26 and I feel the few years of work after undergrad gave me a real advantage. As everyone else is saying, I'm sure you'll do fine!

This decision is ill considered and will adversely affect the many, many licensing candidates who had planned their summers around the clear information we were given by the LSO. I hope it is promptly reconsidered.

[Law Society of Ontario @LawSocietyLSO]

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.

@Mitchell_CBrown it rips!

Having lived nearly my entire life in either Canada or Baltimore, it is absolutely blowing my mind that this construction is basically only used in those two specific places.

The amount of Kurelek content from this account lately has been a real treat

[Dan Malone @ds_malone]

@jameswhutch As a proudly partisan Baltimorean I feel compelled to point out that DC is the worst city in the world so you are not missing much (also, congrats on advancing!)

[Dan Malone @ds_malone]

I highly recommend anyone eligible try one (or both!) of these. Mooting has taught me to see legal problems from every angle, which has made me a better law student and will make me a better lawyer. Also, it’s a lot of fun. Well worth a shot regardless of your career plans.

@uocommonlaw we still have spots open for our inaugural 2L moot (cash prizes) and Hicks Morley moot. Sign up here: https://t.co/Q3fkWLh9mo

This was one of my favourites in a while (I put Trek, obviously)

[ℳatt (matttomic.bsky.social) @matttomic]

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

[Louis Century @LouisCentury]

Love this. In R v RDS, 9 white SCC judges scrutinized an oral decision delivered by a Black female judge in busy youth court for racial bias, now Prof. Backhouse "turns the tables" and unpacks racial bias in the SCC judges' verbal comments at *their* hearing.
