CanBarPrep, a proprietary service by legal academics to assist law graduates in preparation for the Ontario law exams, has published a testimonial by Omar Ha-Redeye on their website. Omar Ha-Redeye enrolled in the course in May/June of 2010.

“A lot of these subjects were unfamiliar to me from law school. This course really helped with bar prep, which is otherwise self-study under tight timelines.”

— Omar Ha-Redeye, Western, 2010 CanBarPrep Student

A photo of Omar Ha-Redeye with the Hon. R. Roy McMurtry and Frank Walwyn of Weir Foulds at the OBA Gala was featured on page 39 of the August edition of Briefly Speaking, the monthly publication by the Ontario Bar Association (OBA).

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 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.
