Law prof at Queen's in Kingston. Criminal law, evidence, sentencing, prisons.
Office hours with Professor Weinrib. This young pupil tries to justify the idea that 6-7 really is funny and interesting.

Today was a great, great convocation @queensulaw.bsky.social. We honoured Marie Henein for all she has done for the legal system. She honoured us with her always powerful words and fearless way of being. @colleenmflood.bsky.social

Lisa Kelly told me to read this book and I know enough to listen to her. 40 pages in and my thinking is altered. Mandatory one for the legal profession: profs, students, judges alike.

Oh man do I love this page in Harold Johnson’s book on his law school experience (hopefully a bit dated, but there are still some that fit ….)

Kingston brewpub to celebrate brilliant Paul Quick making SCC submissions today on prisoner access to habeas corpus. I’m so glad we exist in each other’s lives and not just on screens! Also he schooled them on the inadequacies of judicial review / the prisoner grievance system.

Fabulous session at toronto law on @ericadams99.bsky.social’s highly anticipated book with Jordan Stranger-Ross. A part of Canadian legal history too long ignored. And yes that is @emilykiddwhite.bsky.social listening intently, as we all were.

Berger, Roach, Lawrence. Awesome law prof panel on how criminal law grapples with mental disorder and substance use. Conclusion: there is a bit of room for improvement

I love these two legends of @queensulaw.bsky.social. Nick Bala and Don Stuart. And I’m here to tell you they’ve been struggling for several decades over having a single temperature control for their two offices.

Loved my visitor today, our adjunct professor Annamaria Enenajor, and I told her she must come to bluesky so hang tight people

Just some of the wild stuff we get invited to during the holidays. at least the host was self aware enough to know this might not actually *be* a party

So fun to co-panel with thoughtful Gail Henderson, we got deep into matters of well-being, work habits, finding mentorship and working with difficult personalities in our session for undergraduate women keen on law school.

The brilliant Inbar Peled being calm and cool before her talk on how legal professionals use the “cloak” of professionalism to obscure and excuse discrimination in policing. Including defence counsel. Fascinating stuff.

Soon sending talented criminal law students to their Criminal Appellate Internship placements, supporting public interest appeals. Started this program with Dan Brown several years ago now, going strong. Grateful for his support of Queen's Law. (In return we sent him his star associate Sam Bondoux).
