We're delighted to see that the Court’s reasons in this important decision about family violence reflect the very capable arguments made by the venerable Claire Hunter QC & our very own Diana Sepúlveda on behalf of our friends at @WestCoast_LEAF & @RiseWomensLegal. Well done all!

Life is getting too expensive – especially in service industry where wages are low and workers rely on tips to survive. Check out the new #SHARPWorkplaces blog on how low wages and relying on tips make workers vulnerable to workplace #sexualharassment. clasbc.net/the-cost-of-ti…

Very proud of my law buddy, Jinjae Jeong, for winning the Spirit of the Moot Award. He’s a person of such excellent character - I’m so looking forward to seeing where your career will go, Jinjae, and everything you’ll contribute to the law and our BIPOC community.

The upcoming Zoom information session on Nov. 16 offers a chance to connect with Indigenous judges and law clerks as they share their perspectives on the value and challenges of clerking: bit.ly/2XR9ky9.

New Student Blog from @UVicLaw student @SamrahMian looking at a topic we don't think enough about in Canada: "Child Labour in British Columbia: Our Inadequate Enforcement Mechanisms" lawofwork.ca/?p=12858

Hey #lawtwitter #Canada, I can’t get excited about finding articles. I’m a strategic designer and recent grad from UVic law, with a ton of professional experience— I’m looking for an innovative firm or principal, someone who thinks differently about law. Any leads?

@SaanichtonM @UBCIC @HarshaWalia @bccla Are you comparing corporal punishment with being stolen from your parents, starved, abused, punished for speaking your language, and being systemically disenfranchised by a nation-wide program set up to discriminate against your people? Not a good look @SaanichtonM.

@UBCIC @HarshaWalia @bccla Both my white grandfathers (WW2 Vets who defended freedom of all Natives and Canadians) reported being strapped so hard in Canadian government public schools, they were marred and bruised! That was the culture back then. So we need context as well.

UBCIC stands in strong solidarity with @HarshaWalia in condemning the brutally gruesome genocide of residential "school" system by Canada and Church while crown stole FN land.She is a highly respected and valued ally; we are grateful for her ongoing support and leadership @bccla

@duncanmccue @trepaning @Jas0nL0nd0n @marthamuzychka @CBCNews Did they provide a timeline for this? Seems important to have it up asap

@trepaning @Jas0nL0nd0n @marthamuzychka @CBCNews Update: As I understand it, it was pulled due to concerns about lack of context. I'm told it will be "reposted and appropriately contextualized."

This footage in CBC Archives is 30-min film called The Eyes of Children, purporting to capture life at Kamloops Indian Residential School in 1962. I've watched many times, for use in docs about residential schools. Never ceases to trouble me cbc.ca/archives/entry… #215children

@RiseWomensLegal Vicky Law as a principal! What a dream!

Rise’s articled student Juliana will be in court next week and her principal Vicky Law is putting her through her paces. (Check Juliana’s sceptical eyebrow — she is having *none* of this witness’s baloney. 😜)

@kennyhildebrand I didn't connect with the first gen label until recently for this reason but wish I had. I get your point but it makes the assumption that educated parents are well situated enough to transfer knowledge. My parents have degrees but they're immigrants. It's a different ballgame.

Just pre-ordered through @MunrosBooks in Victoria. They'll ship Canada-wide!

"Right now we value the people who harm instead of the people who are harmed" - listening to @hadiyaroderique speaking at @UVicLaw. We're looking for accomplices, not allies... people who are willing to recognize that our houses are on fire. Amplify us.

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in law school. So grateful for my incredible coaches and team.

Meet the University of Victoria’s @uvic @UVicLaw for the 48th Annual Gale Moot Cup happening Feb 26-27, 2021. #2021GaleCupMoot galecupmoot.com

@lktrack Congratulations, Laura! I can’t wait to start working with you later this year ☺️

Couldn’t be more thrilled to be stepping into the role of Director of CLAS’s Human Rights Clinic. It’s a pleasure to work with a team of such compassionate and committed lawyers and advocates who care deeply about human rights and the people we serve.

Are you a law student? Have you written a paper? Are you happy with it? Do you think it should be published? Submit it to the Appeal Law Journal at @UVicLaw! Our deadline is October 8th #CdnLaw #LawSchoolLife uvic.ca/law/jd/appeal/…

Read the wonderful @medinaeve's article on the legal sector's PR problem in @lawyersdailyca

@gilliancalder @CanLawWorkForum @UVicLaw Thank you!
