Posted in: Civility and its importance are contested in the Canadian legal profession and the Canadian legal academy. [1] Moreover, civility and the broader concept of professionalism have a shameful history as exclusionary concepts with significant negative impact on the ability of members of equity-seeking groups to join the legal profession and succeed in the practice of law.

Whatever its faults (and there are more than a few), “the rule of law” underpins democracy as a bulwark against authoritarianism. It is not only the system of laws that does this, but the actors who are most closely aligned with ensuring that the rule of law works: the judges and lawyers. Nothing makes the intent of creating an authoritarian system more evident than undermining the judiciary and lawyers. That the judiciary must be independent is well-known. Less so lawyers.

Posted in: If you had asked both a Canadian and an American, in the last several weeks, “What do you think about the mess at the country’s largest legal regulator?”, you would’ve had two separate conversations about two separate messes, which together speak to a single big problem for lawyer self-regulation.

Territories have the unique characteristic of being both in and out at the same time. Despite their massive differences in all areas, you can easily spot the “territory” due to this in and out feature. Whether they are called a special administrative unit, dependency, self-governing, autonomous nation, outermost/overseas department, etc., once you have identified this in and out cycle, it’s fair to assume that you’re working with a territory, despite the elaborate names these places tend to have.

An email from a faculty member at the University of Toronto on the topic of AI made the rounds at law schools across Canada recently. It’s about using AI on final exams. It points out that if a student has an app already open when they launch Examplify – the software most schools use to administer exams – they will have access to that app while writing the exam. This could be a browser with Lexis+AI or the app version of ChatGPT, which would still be online during the exam.

If you glance at the news, it feels as if the world is on fire—both literally and figuratively. Climate change wreaks havoc across continents, pandemics challenge our healthcare systems, wars and conflicts displace millions, and the erosion of democratic principles shakes trust in institutions worldwide. At the same time, misinformation spreads faster than facts, nationalism competes with global cooperation, and the international community often seems paralyzed by political gridlock.

Una mañana de octubre, gris, casi igual a la de hoy pero hace dos años, conocíamos a Juanita. Fuimos hasta su casa para hablar con ella sobre la pasión por la pintura y el dibujo. Nos habló de lo que le gustaba. Mientras daba su primera entrevista periodística yo miraba los pinceles, colores, dibujos, pinturas. En la sala de la casa había lienzos en blanco esperando recrear los paisajes y sueños de la novel artista. “Pinté algo que soñé”, explicó sobre el cielo con dos lunas.
