Overheard in the Vancouver Law Courts barristers’ lounge yesterday: Counsel A: You must think I’m the most unreasonable lawyer in town. Counsel B: No no. You’ve got instructions. I get it. #civility


I am delighted to announce the forthcoming third edition of my book, Using International Law in Canadian Courts. It is greatly expanded, including new discussions of UNDRIP, the Charter and much more. utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.31…

Effective Feb 11, 2024, the Honourable Mr. Justice John J.L. Hunter retires from the Court of Appeal for British Columbia & the Court of Appeal of Yukon. He has served as a member of these Courts since being appointed directly from private practice on April 20, 2017. 🧵(1/5)


Yes indeed

I like this take away. People scoff at international law, but the century of pressure going back to Deskaheh is now a UN declaration, and is now provincial and federal legislation implementing that declaration, and is now shaping legislation that is affirmed by the SCC

Important new article on a less often discussed article from UNDRIP

Pleasure to share my latest article, this time for the Queen's Law Journal @QLaw_Research I focus on Article 30 of the UNDRIP, which articulates a general ban on military activities that take place on Indigenous territory. journal.queenslaw.ca/issues
