Oooh boy, some Ontario lawyers (including the AG) are upset about the possible loss of the bar exam. The @lawsocietylso.bsky.social might follow B.C., Alberta, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Nunavut in adopting the Practice Readiness Education Program. Learn about it on the pod! #cdnlaw

For anyone who cares about #bail in Canada. The Conservatives are abusing second reading of bill C-12 to prevent the introduction of the new bail bill. I draw this to the attention of @acoyne who's written extensively about these "tactics" in his latest book. #filibuster

This is a fantastic panel about women who practice #criminaldefence law. Three women who’ve been subjected to bullying from male colleagues and labelled as gender traitors by women. Fortunately, they have ideas on how to make things better #cdnlaw #cdnpoli
🎧 In the latest episode of Verdicts & Voices, we're joined by three criminal defence lawyers - Anita Szigeti, Hamna Anwar, and Kyla Lee -
to discuss the obstacles they've faced as women in their field, and the community they've built to overcome them: bit.ly/4nMm3sJ
