my grandpa beat cancer recently and at brunch he told me he can’t wait to see me in court one day. rather than burden me, it fuels me and guides me. my grandpa showed up in this country with no coat and no job. I’m so lucky for his sacrifice.

I worked at the Rosedale Golf Club and to this day, serving the people there (who were mostly very nice) remains the most anxious I have ever been working in my life

This student from my law school (Mitchell Hamline School of Law) found out just a few days ago that she passed the bar. Less than 72 hours later, she was shot by a stranger while walking in a park. gofundme.com/f/shantel-thom…

my mom told me she went to an all Black party and I had to confirm if it was all black attire or all Black people and she goes "well both"

I have started to write if that makes sense in an email and then deleted it multiple times because some stranger on this app said that women should stop doing that. S/o to that women

I’m studying/making my outlines for exams and rewatching lectures has been KEY and I honestly gasp when I think about how upper years…just went to class.. and if they didn’t get the material… that was that 😭😬

If you ask any of my family and friends they’ll confirm I have given them this exact speech with this exact expression (minus the cigarette)

hey people, let’s demand @Twitter to remove Russia 🇷🇺 from here no place for an aggressor like Russia on Western social media platforms they should not be allowed to use these platforms to promote their image while brutally killing the Ukrainian people @TwitterSupport

Assault is wrong. Alopecia is a painful experience that many Black women go through and should not be joked about. The concept of being ‘the protector’ can be a form of toxic masculinity. Black women are rarely protected and deserve to be protected.

As a part of the Black Future Lawyers program, we're looking to bring some students to observe a proceeding at the Court of Appeal - is there any way to see the schedule in further advance then the daily court lists?

following up on this, we thought about the appellate level mainly given Chief Justice Tulloch's recent appointment but also very open to trial level!

Further and final follow-up, someone sent my tweet to ONCA, and their Executive Office has gotten back to me! Thanks so much to everyone for amplifying this request and to those who have reached out.

does anyone have a lead on where I can find a free and/or online version of the Pozner text on cross-examinations? I have a moot upcoming in which I will be doing a cross and was recommended this book, but it's $400 LOL. Or any tips for cross in general!

testament to the power of #lawtwitter. The students go to observe a 5-judge panel for the appeal of R v Hafizi and meet with Justice Coroza for a Q&A. Thank you to everyone who shared/retweeted this!

Really happy to share that I’ll be clerking at the Superior Court in Oshawa, my hometown, which is surreal because I grew up in the south end of the “dirty shwa” with my single mom in community housing. I didn’t know what a judicial law clerk was back then and yet, here I am!

I have to shoutout Atrisha Lewis Whether it be on EDI initiatives, or this upcoming Bencher election, she’s always putting in extra time to improve this profession, even as a busy Partner and mom. I know I’ll be stepping into a better profession because of her work and advocacy.

me and Thurka Brabaharan have been studying together since 1L and @dtanovich Evidence class is the most ink we’ve used thus far
