Some @ohassta-aesho.bsky.social executive members at the @ojenroej.bsky.social Summer Law Institute.

Hey! I did a thing where I talked about teaching law for OJEN’s Law Syrup podcast 🙂

It’s a privilege to have the mental capacity/leisure time to follow & care about a sport. It’s nice to have some collective experiences, shared with millions of people. But I feel bad for these guys on the team - some of them kids, really - this will follow them around forever.

A huge thank you to the amazing work of Amelia and @ojenroej.bsky.social for a wonderful mock trial experience last night. Another cohort of kids were captivated by the legal advocacy experience.

Very proud of this issue! Two more to go! bit.ly/BCINLAPR25

OJEN’s Summer Law Institute takes place on Tuesday, August 26 & Wednesday, August 27 at Osgoode Hall, Toronto. This professional development conference brings teachers together with legal professionals & academics to explore emerging issues in law. 🔗 Info and registration: ojen.ca/en/training/...

I haven’t seen this anywhere yet, but it felt necessary to do.

Great day; great kids. Just a wonderful way to end the semester. Absolutely extraordinary work by these kids, the level of which far surpasses the expectations of any grade 11 Canadian law class. I am running out of superlatives to describe Bloor students year after year!

Legal/legal education folks! Do you have any ideas of where to acquire affordable legal tabs on a yearly basis? I started giving out framed legal tabs as a graduation gift for Bloor Law Society students a few years ago (see attached photo.)

The Bloor CI December newsletter is here! It includes a video of a performance from the winter concert that can be viewed within the newsletter 🤯 Time for a nap! bit.ly/BCINLDEC24

Thrilled a Bloor CI team has been selected as one of this year’s finalists in the @OJEN_ROEJ Charter Challenge! Happy this remarkable group of students & their efforts have been recognized in this way. Looking forward to hearing their arguments at Osgoode Hall in January.

What a privilege to do what I do! We had 21 teams working on this case and a record (for our school!) EIGHT teams submitted a factum to the OJEN Charter Challenge competition.

Look, the back pay will be nice, whatever amount it ends up being. The same way finding $20 in a random coat pocket is exciting. I don’t want to pretend that more money isn’t important - it is! Things are expensive! I have one more child that exists today since 2019!

Nerene Virgin leaves a remarkable legacy as a groundbreaking actor, journalist, social justice advocate, politician and beloved TVO host of Today’s Special and Polka Dot Door. Our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends and the many lives she touched across Canada. tvo.me/mourning-the...

So far, this place feels… better?
