The tragedy that the state of Israel has unleashed in Palestine is an injustice that merits—even demands—discussion, especially in a law school. Osgoode’s motto is “Per jus ad justitiam: Through law to justice,” but discussion of Palestinian causes remains taboo, never mind association or advocacy. Even this newspaper, built on the freedom of expression, had a hand (intentional or not) when its editors disallowed the use of the Obiter Dicta as a platform to discuss the “Israel-Hamas” war.

AbstractThe ability to control movement and learn new motor skills is one of the fundamental functions of the brain. The basal ganglia (BG) and the cerebellum (CB) are two key brain regions involved in controlling movement, and neuronal plasticity within these two regions is crucial for acquiring new motor skills. However, how these regions interact to produce a cohesive unified motor output remains elusive.

I’m open to running—and paying for!—more pitches at Crossplay, even from those without a byline.

Simply put, partisan appointment of judges erodes confidence in the integrity of the administration of justice.  A fundamental principle of our justice system is that “justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.” This stressing of the image of justice is informed by the overriding public interest in maintaining confidence in the integrity of the administration of justice.

As law students, we have inevitably been thrown into the various neatly organised and spelt out fact patterns in cases. However, the real world functions far differently from that. In a way, courts act as a source of authority over what actually happened, regardless of the veracity of what is stated in judgments. I write this to urge you to think critically about your role as future lawyers and judges, and your relationship with the foundation of public discourse.
