Justice Harvey Brownstone with Omar Ha-Redeye
The Canadian Bar Association hosted its annual Canadian Legal Conference and Expo in Niagara Falls.
Opening ceremonies included statements from both the Attorney Generals of Ontario and Canada.
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 Health Law Section and the Privacy Law Section of the OBA hosted an event, Custodianship of Personal Health Information in the Shared Records/Shared System Environment.
Speakers included Prof. Giuseppina D’Agostino of Osgoode Hall Law School, and Debra Grant from the Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario.

Omar Ha-Redeye is slated as a teacher for the session.
