As a lawyer, Marie Henein is often asked, "How can you as a woman defend someone who's charged with sexual assault?"

She replies: "The same way that a man defends someone who is charged with sexual assault."

Happy anniversary, Miche! Over the past 29 years, I've loved watching the world get to know you not just as a daughter of the South Side, but as a mother, lawyer, executive, author, First Lady, and my best friend. I can’t imagine life without you.

We are closed today to honour survivors, their ancestors and families, and take the time to reflect on the history of residential schools and the Indian Act, and how the impacts still resonate today #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters

R. v. James, 2021 BCSC 1408: Count quashed pre-trial as being prejudicial and duplicative. In essence, allowing the count to proceed would cause too much complexity and confusion for no real gain. This is consistent with the recent trend to discourage overcrowded indictments.

Talk me out of criminal defence. Why does it seem like all the cool kids do criminal defence?

This is now just two days away and it's going to be great. We've expanded the "seating" so you are welcome to join us if you want to hear about advocacy from three amazing judges.

Ontario v. Clark, 2021 SCC 18: "One of the critical dimensions of a prosecutor’s independence that is protected by immunity is, in fact, independence from the police" (para 41). A critical reminder about the special barrier that must exist between the Crown and police.

As I told @CdnPressNews, I feel more dignified when people in law use my actual name - not a shortened "whitened" version or a generic term like "counsel". The pronunciation of names is so imp for inclusivity. I'd be happy to teach you how to say mine.
