Recent graduate from @LincAlexLawTMU | incoming criminal defence lawyer

An important step in the right direction. Looking forward to seeing what the Supreme Court has to say about the constitutionality of random traffic stops on private driveways in R v McColman (hearing coming up on Nov. 1st)!

[Hilary Dudding @HilaryCrimLaw]

A groundbreaking decision today from QC ending random traffic stops. We’ve long known they are used by police to racially profile. If the authorities abuse powers, they should lose them. https://t.co/TfWLaGUIx3

“There is no legal limit on immigration detention. So you don’t know how long you’re going to be held. And that really is contrary to our values as Canadians," said Chamagne.

@katbuchan @cblackst I wrote down this quote too! Such an important point.

[Katrina (G-K) Friesen @kgrogank]

I never miss an opportunity to hear from @cblackst 👏🏼 what a fantastic kick-off for #HumanRights60! A champion of First Nations children’s rights speaking about the culture of law and how we can make HR remedies more accessible to those who need them.

“Decriminalization or guidelines for non-enforcement help to change hearts and minds to realize this is a medical issue not a law enforcement issue…the only thing that is going to save people’s lives is safe supply” I strongly recommend this episode of The Current!

[The Current on CBC Radio @TheCurrentCBC]

B.C.’s Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe says decriminalization won’t have a big impact without a safe supply of illicit drugs.

“Until we get a handle on how people can purchase drugs that are not toxic … people will continue to die,” she told @mattgallowaycbc

@lawandchocolate Just finished watching. Well done! Are the judge’s reasons for excluding the confession available? Would love to read them in full!

[Peter Sankoff @petersankoff]

Just finished prepping for next week's FREE seminar on being a defence lawyer. Short conclusion: It's going to be amazing. Learn about challenges, opportunities, and why people want to practice criminal defence law (and how to succeed at it!). https://t.co/4g7k1lok6D

Officially done 2L today! Once my brain starts functioning again I look forward to reflecting on it… but for now… junk food for me & a long play in the park for the pup who has been through it all with me 🥺

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

The state of Texas will execute Melissa Lucio in 6 days unless those with the power to stop it do something. Please read & share the below thread. If you live in Texas, call @GovAbbott at 956-446-2866, & call D.A. Saenz & urge him to withdraw the execution date: 956-300-3881.

@sabaghaderi97 I’m just finishing up 2L at 29. The time I took to gain experience prior to law school has been such an asset. I’ve made friends with classmates that are several years younger no problem & I am better at managing the stress than I would have been 5 years ago for sure!

[Chris Sewrattan @SewrattanLaw]

Really hoping the @SCC_eng plays #Wordle294
