Lawyer. 3X Paralympic gold medalist. Occasionally difficult to get along with, but generally worth the effort. Opinions my own. RT/Like ≠ Endorsement

It’s funny how scrawling your name a particular way is the highest form of security we have for legal documents.

Viewpoint: Perseverance, resilience and excellence link sports and farming, says Canadian champion @JeffAdamsmania ofa.on.ca/newsroom/perse… #ontag #perseverance

@SeanBawden I use a wheelchair, and virtual hearings have been a game-changer for me.
English
Hot Take: I believe in-person attendance is necessary and important for *some* - not all - aspects of the litigation process.
I do not believe "virtual" hearings are a panacea for access to justice, as not all communities/litigants have the resources required to access same.

@JeffAdamsmania It’s all I can think about. But! Could I ever have left again? It’s Hotel California.

After nearly 10 years of working at this building, for the first time I saw the 16th floor. There is no button on the elevator, nor door in the stairwell for the 16th floor- but TODAY, the elevator stopped there... and someone got on.

I know this lawyer guy, and can vouch for his passion for the way law can be engaged to achieve justice. I'm confident that Daniel will take care of his clients, and do everything he can to protect their rights. All my best wishes for a successful new law firm!

@SeanBawden I have over 8' of screens at home. Two large screens, one smaller one and the laptop - it looks like the deck of Star Trek in here. At work I have a measly 3 screens.

Yesterday one of our associates accused me of being "the only lawyer" to only use a single monitor. Surely that cannot be true?

@onealbanerjee Will depend on the NBA and Scotiabank policies. Businesses can set their own policies independently of government mandates.

I know many students had their lives torn upside down due to the cancellation of LSO licensing examinations. I'm sorry I can't help all of you with that. However, maybe I can help one of you. We can help each other.
I have approx. one month's worth of paid work to offer. 1/7

@JMartin_JD I never got through more than half the LG in practice sessions, then on the LSAT killed it, only to get a second LG section, which I bombed - wrote in Feb, so not sure, but my final score reflected 2nd one was the official one and 1st was the experimental section...womp womp.
English
The only thing I’ll say about the LSAT is that, by my calculations, it was entirely possible that I got a zero on Logic Games. But then, I’m not great at math either.

@onealbanerjee Seems reckless too - why antagonize Putin in this way? Has a not insignificant risk of making Zelensky even more of a target. @charlieangusNDP

@SeanBawden Also prevents an employer from discharging their duty under the OHSA to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of a worker if they think a vaccinated workforce is a reasonable precaution.
English
Potential statutory prohibitions against "no jab no job" roles puts into focus the question of the role of government in regulating the private workspace.

Wheels. The number of wheels I own is in the double-digits.

What thing do you own a ridiculous amount of?

@RogerPielkeJr Terrible idea. They are separate events with different ideals. Logistically it would be disastrous.

Idea
Paralympics & Olympics should occur at the same time
Not staggered
