Freedom of expression must not become a right to harass or intimidate Protests in predominantly Jewish residential areas are a reminder that we need bylaws to address intimidation, while still protecting speech

An excellent post today from CanLII Chair @adodek.bsky.social and CEO Francis Barragan on the many roles CanLII plays to support the Rule of Law. I don't think many Canadians appreciate how lucky we are to have open access primary law; or to have CanLII itself.

Following up on the Federation of Law Societies of Canada's press release issued March 21st, CanLII is now issuing our own statement on our support of the rule of law: zurl.co/kdmI2 (Version en français ici : zurl.co/C7gee)

Canada's top court is considering offering mediation. Some are wondering: why? The Supreme Court of Canada is considering offering mediation services for cases it does not hear, raising eyebrows among court watchers.

Canada's Supreme Court is considering offering mediation services for cases it does not accept to hear.
