“The way in which Americans discount gun deaths, Torontonians and their leaders seem to discount car-related deaths" an evocative (and not unfair) analogy by Richard Florida, which one hopes will help spur some real action by TorontoComms thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…

Hey uOttawa | COMMON LAW students: Come kick your feet up at the Lenczner Slaght R&R Lounge between your Toronto in-firm interviews. A great (and overdue) initiative. Free juice, snacks, and phone charging. Open to all students!

I wrote about the jurisdictional issues Faith Goldy encountered when she applied to the Superior Court—rather than the CRTC—for an urgent order requiring CP24 to broadcast advertisements for her mayoral candidacy.

Thrilled to join the team of exceptional litigators and all-around great folks at Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP

A reminder for #VisionZero stakeholders that our current pedestrian laws were the result of a very specific lobbying effort. They were not (and are not) the only option: “The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of jaywalking” vox.com/2015/1/15/7551… #bikeTO

Very proud of my friend Dave The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) for his tireless advocacy in the civil justice system to expand redress available to injured cyclists in this City. His website is full of useful legal information for cyclists: thebikinglawyer.ca/blog-1 #bikeTO #VisionZero

A splendid evening, topped off by hilarious keynotes from Justices Karakatsanis and Côté of Supreme Court of Canada.

A major congrats to Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP's Rising Star, the Twitter-less Matt Law, who nearly made it all the way across the stage last night before being chirped by Suhana Meharchand about looking 14 years old.

Excited to be back at #gutsgloryTO with this team of fierce competitors from Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP, raising money for an amazing organization.

Big time congrats to Niklas Holmberg, a stellar litigator and an asset to our Lax O'Sullivan Lisus Gottlieb LLP team.

Very proud to be part of this team of ace litigators, and going back-to-back as Ontario’s litigation firm of the year. Using all my self-restraint to not drop Drake lyrics.

An important reminder from a smart lawyer who also happens to be a good friend! Zoom court is a fine first step, but is not a panacea.

I take back all the jokes I've told about lawyers' awards. Feeling grateful for the recognition and lucky as ever to work with, and learn from, this crew!

Judicial decisions appear to be getting slower, longer, and more complex. What courts and judges should do to solve this problem is far from clear, like should we give judges more writing time. Some of my thoughts now published in the DLJ. digitalcommons.schulichlaw.dal.ca/dlj/vol45/iss2…

Thanks IntrepidPodcast and @cforcese for the info on how to contribute to efforts to purchase a wheelchair accessible home for the hero who was shot and paralyzed while helping others during the Quebec mosque attack. A worthy campaign. 4 days left. launchgood.com/project/united…

The California Court of Appeal gets punny in overturning a lower court decision and ruling that a proposed class action against #tinder, alleging age discrimination, can proceed: "Accordingly, we swipe left, and reverse." courts.ca.gov/opinions/docum…

Well-deserved recognition of the veritable mooting machine that Prof Anthony Daimsis and others have cultivated at my alma mater uOttawa | COMMON LAW theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed Iran's application for leave to appeal, thus confirming the American victims' ability to enforce against Iran's Canadian assets and recoup some of the US$1.7 billion awarded. I wrote about the case here: litigate.com/larsbrusven#/e…
