Some News
In seems that in blogging, as in real life, the more you have, the more you’re given. This blog was a start. But then Yves Faguy, the editor of the CBA National Magazine, invited me to blog for them, which I try to do on a monthly basis (I’m afraid I’ve skipped a couple of Continue reading

Error-Correction
I have a new post at the CBA National Magazine’s blog, which follows up on my posts (here and here) arguing that the Suprme Court’s recent decisions constitutionalizing a right to collective bargaining and a right to strike were bad mistakes. In National Magazine post, I review the various ways in which these mistakes might be Continue reading

Farewell 2014
… You won’t be much missed. But blogging-wise, if not in other ways, it was a good year. And, the powers-that-be-in-Canadian-law-blogging have ruled that Double Aspect is the “Best Canadian Law Blog” of the year, which is a great honour. I am very grateful to those who have nominated my blog, and especially to those Continue reading

The end of the year is just around the corner, and this means that it’s time for the Clawbies ― the (virtual) awards given out to (some of) the best Canadian law blogs. So here, without further ado (and in no particular order) are my nominations. Paul Daly’s Administrative Law Matters: I nominated Prof. Daly’s Continue reading

Danger: Judges Blogging

It deals with the question of whether judges should refrain from blogging, prompted by an ongoing controversy over a blog post by an American judge, Richard G. Kopf, in which he recommends that the U.S. Supreme Court “stfu”. This controversy has now reached the mainstream Continue reading

St-Hilaire on Tsilhqot’in
I haven’t blogged on the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, 2014 SCC 44, because aboriginal law is not really an area on which I feel comfortable pontificating here (my only post dealing with it is here). Yet aboriginal law in general, and the Tsilhqot’in case in particular are very important, so I am delighted to welcome Continue reading

St-Hilaire on Québec Judicial Appointments
I am very happy to announce that Double Aspect now features its first guest post. The post, which is below, is a comment by Maxime St-Hilaire on the (un)constitutionality of the appointment of Justice Robert Mainville to the Québec Court of Appeal. Prof. St-Hilaire teaches constitutional law and aboriginal law at the Faculty of Law Continue reading

Rights, Property… and Blogging
Because one blog is obviously not enough, I will now also be blogging for the CBA National Magazine. Initially at least, I will only be writing for them once a month. In any event, my main blogging focus will remain here, at Double Aspect. However, I am excited about this new venture and the possibility Continue reading
