Here’s the article: Police may have access your online history .
So, the judge says there is no “reasonable expectation of privacy” when you are on the internet… And that since the Personal Information Protection Electronics Documents Act permits ISPs to hand over information like IP addresses to anyone with “lawful authority,” the judge interprets this to mean [...]

I suppose Evil doesn’t much care what colour the person is, when it choses someone as its vehicle of mayhem and destruction. What amazes me is that people seem to care… Adolf Hitler kills his own people, we get a World War. Robert Mugabe does the same, and we politely ask him to step down [...]

Well, the cat is out of the bag. The BCE deal is dead… And I’m going to say - ahem - HA!

In our class, we haven’t really made it to the “civil procedure” part yet. So you’re probably wondering how I can go into an exam for JICP when we haven’t even studied [...]

Well, let’s see if you can pass this little test. I will provide a quote from a professor. Your job is to tell me what you think it means. Here’s the quote (as heard and written down by me in class this fall):
“the relationship to what is non-subjectivity is abstracted from, and is a kind [...]

Law students need to have one thing on their minds when it comes to school, and one thing only: learning. The problem is the emphasis placed on grades. Now, McGill tries to mitigate this by imposing a policy of almost universal B-range grades for the vast majority of students. In other words, you go to [...]

I’ve been following Conrad Black’s case in Chicago since the beginning. The long and the short of is that Conrad Black was accused - and subsequently found guilty - of fleecing shareholders of money they were due by diverting revenues which should have gone to Hollinger International into his own pockets through “non-compete” payments.
