Omar Ha-Redeye was interviewed in both the London Free Press and the The Beacon Herald on a conference held at Huron College at the University of Western Ontario where he participated as a teacher,
Recent University of Western Ontario Law School graduate Omar Ha-redeye was attracted to scriptural reasoning when he recognized the similarities with his own profession.
“It’s a very rich and fruitful experience for my practice and study of law,” he said, noting the parallels between scriptural reasoning and the interpretive character of the common law tradition.
Ha-redeye has the advantage of having members of all three Abrahamic faiths in his immediate family, giving him special insight into differences and commonalities among the traditions.
His recent law research in Israel revealed that there are principles of Islamic and Jewish law at the roots of the British common law model. He said recognizing similar common ground in religion helps break down prejudice and “scaremongering” about the beliefs and practices of others.
Ochs, Danaher and Ha-Redeye will be at the conference along with 60 students and teachers from schools such as Yale, Duke and the University of Toronto.

The G20 has proven a disaster for all parties involved, including the protesters, the City, and law enforcement.
Post-detention conditions and inappropriate conduct in facilities suggest more could have been done to prepare officers. Conduct of some officers suggest that the worst offenders were likely from outside of Toronto.

The cases of Emomotimi Azorbo and John Pruyn raises questions of competency and sensitivity among law enforcement during the G20 protests. Hundreds of police officers from across the province did receive this training in 2006, emphasizing vulnerability assessment for minorities and disabled populations.
See Slaw for more on Regulation 233/10 and whether municipalities should be given more constitutional power to avert situations like the G20. Also worth reading is a post by Jean-Marc Leclerc of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP on this application of the Public Works Protection Act.
