Governance Reform and Lawyer Independence in Canadian Legal Regulation: Examining British Columbiaas Bill 21
Earlier this month, the government of British Columbia introduced Bill 21, the Legal Professions Act. This bill amalgamates the Law Society of British Columbia and the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia into a new corporation, Legal Professions British Columbia (LPBC), while also creating a licensing and regulation structure for paralegals. It could be the most consequential development in Canadian legal regulation in more than 100 years. The British Columbia legal professionas leading organizations (the Law Society, the Canadian Bar Associationas BC branch, and the Trial Lawyersa Association of BC) strongly oppose Bill 21, with the . . .

Effective Use of Visual Aids in Mediation
The use of demonstrative or visual aids at mediation is more widely accepted by lawyers and mediators since the legal profession began its rapid embrace of technology. Arguably, the pandemic accelerated this implementation. The technology adoption started with the exchange of electronic mediation briefs, improved access to scanned documents, and the use of video software, like Zoom and Teams. Now, counsel more commonly use Power Point or slides and electronic documentation in their introductory remarks, and present demonstrative aids in their Mediation Briefs to bolster arguments by visual communication. Through technology, counsel can now utilize a variety of demonstrative aids . . . [more]

BC Court of Appeal Recognizes the Myth of False Allegations of Intimate Partner Violence
Case Commented On: KMN v SZM, 2024 BCCA 70 (CanLII), overturning 2023 BCSC 940 (CanLII) We have both written previously on myths and stereotypes about intimate partner violence (IPV), one of the most common of which is that women make false or exaggerated claims of violence to gain an advantage in family law disputes (see here and here). In KMN v SZM, 2024 BCCA 70 (CanLII), the British Columbia Court of Appeal (BCCA) recognized the existence of this myth and the need for courts to avoid making assumptions that perpetuate it, holding that it is . . .

Other tributes noted his participation in the landmark case of Halpern v. Canada (2003), which legalized same-sex marriage. Because McMurtry . . . [more]

The Lack of Protection for Non-Denominational Identity: The Webber Academy Case
INTRODUCTION
Webber Academy (or athe schoola), a private educational institution in Alberta, defined itself as non-denominational: it did not engage in any overt religious practice (with one possible and qualified exception). Yet, after two Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) decisions, two Queenas Bench (as it then was) (QB) judgements, two Court of Appeal (CA) rulings and two denial of leaves to appeal by the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC), it was held to have discriminated without justification against two Muslim students whom it prohibited from engaging, on school property, in overt prayers. How did this happen? And what does it . . . [more]

Missing Discussions at Center of Union COVID Dispute
Written by Daniel Standing, LL.B., Content Editor, First Reference Inc.
The Supreme Court of British Columbia rendered a decision (2024 BCSC 55 (CanLII)) on judicial review which looked at the employerâs choice to implement a COVID-19 vaccination policy, and whether, under the Labour Relations Code, it was obligated to enter into discussions with the union first. The case provides employers with insight into the difficulty of overturning a tribunalâs decision.
Background
