What a loss. It's hard to overstate the contribution that Alan Young made to criminal justice in Canada. Thank you, professor Young. Your legacy will live on through the lives of all of those whose wrongful convictions you played a part in overturning.
We mourn the loss of Professor Alan Young, a trailblazer in Canadian law & beloved educator at Osgoode. Co-Founder of Osgoode’s Innocence Project, he mentored students in overturning wrongful convictions & inspired many careers in criminal law. Read more: bit.ly/4ipnOtD

Important case that may come to the @SCC_eng. The power in R. v. Ladouceur to randomly stop vehicles without suspicion of an offence was codified in Quebec statute. That statute was found unconstitutional by Quebec's highest appellate court.

It's me, hi, I'm the Chief Justice, it's me. We had a lively discussion with the Chief Justice of the @ONCA_en (not pictured), @SujLee_, and @TrevinDavid talking about s. 9, street checks, and racial profiling.

“I’m a middle-aged Black man. I’ve got all of these degrees, I’ve won cases at the Supreme Court – and I still go to places where I’m viewed as less than, where I’m presumed to be the defendant, or presumed to be dangerous, just because of the way I appear. And that’s a heavy burden,” says lawyer and racial justice advocate Bryan Stevenson. “I can tell you, because I’m getting older, that when you’re constantly navigating these presumptions of dangerousness and guilt, it’s exhausting.”

Congratulations to @Nader_Hasan_law and @alexheine93 for successfully defending the presumption of innocence in the Zameer case. This case was a tragedy, but anyone with knowledge of the evidence knows this wasn’t a murder.

Charges stayed in 'largest-ever' international drug bust in Toronto police history. "Sometimes these prosecutions can be very resource intensive and the more steps that are taken, the more vulnerable they are to collapse", says @TrevinDavid cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/p…

I’m deeply saddened at the passing of my client @NellToussaint. But my colleagues and I remain as resolved as ever to carry on her struggle and ensure that a more humane migrant health policy in Canada is her ultimate legacy. canlii.ca/t/jrhjf

Judge: “The public would be understandably dismayed that serious cases are at jeopardy of never being heard on their merits because of police indifference and apparent apathy towards their basic disclosure obligations.” thestar.com/news/gta/2023/01… @TorontoStar

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser is poised to deport Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the driver whose tandem truck collided catastrophically with a bus carrying the Humbolt Junior Hockey team, killing 16. If he does so, it will be a triumph of blind vengeance over common sense. 1/10
