Noreen Shanahan of The Globe & Mail wrote an obituary of Alexandra Dodger, the McGill law student struck by a car and killed at the age of 27.

Colleagues praised Dodger for exhibiting qualities all law students and young lawyers should have: rock hard principles, outstanding courage and dedication to helping people.

“If we had more people like [Dodger] going through our law schools, we would have a completely different society,” said Toronto lawyer Omar Ha-Redeye.

She was strong, argumentative and articulate. She was warm, vulnerable and inspired. Had she made it to 30, who knows what she would have accomplished?

The McGill Faculty of Law is posting online testimonials for Alexandra Dodger, who passed away this past weekend:
