Peter Hogg meant so much to so many, including myself. This is truly a huge loss. He was a wonderful teacher (in the classroom and out), a brilliant legal mind, a thoughtful leader, a caring colleague and such a decent human being.

Gorham Vandebeek LLP is looking to hire an associate with 1-3 years experience. Interested candidates please send a writing sample and resume to [email protected]
This is exciting! I recommend a podcast with an internationally trained lawyer. I realize that the fraternity members are still not aware with the accreditation process and hardship involved. It would be a new perspective for many. May be somebody from @ncanetworkTO.

Powerful indeed! Importance of a network, especially when starting out in a new country! @ncanetworkTO great initiative.
Powerful story. The Ontario bar exam is an exercise in indexing, but access to an index depends on one’s networks and privileges. How is this not a discriminatory barrier? We need to support NCA students who may lack informal networks that bar exam success depends on.

People often ask why I support the @ncanetworkTO. This is why. Please read this powerful article from one of my mentees, Safiya Adenekan, about the challenges faced by internationally trained lawyers trying to get licensed in Ontario: canadianlawyermag.com/news/o…

Most of my 60 @UTLawGPLLM NCA students have studied IL in their home countries. Tonight we studied the sobering legal analysis by the MMIWG Inquiry concluding Canada committed the crime of genocide against Indigenous peoples. @amandaghahreman @flafontaine mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/up…

Law students doing OCI interviews next week: It can be hard to distinguish between the larger firms. Amidst all the PR, how to know where you actually want to work? Here is one area where firms are *not* all alike: Policy and practice around parental leave. 1/11

Very powerful piece which hits close to home. I recall making and answering calls for my parents who speak with non Canadian accents when I was in grade school (and would be taken more seriously then they were although I was a child). – at Toronto, Ontario
