James Yap, graduate of Osgoode Hall, and Omar Ha-Redeye, collaborated on a piece regarding Piedra v. Copper Mesa Mining Corporation, 2010 ONSC 2421, posted on both The Court and Law is Cool.

The Court is Osgoode Hall’s legal blog, focusing largely on decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada. James Yap was a Senior Editor at The Court while he was there for school.

Antonin Pribetic also has some interesting comments on this piece over at The Trial Warrior.

The spirit of collegiality and collaboration has extended to the 2010 Student Blawger of the Year Award, offered to another Senior Editor at The Court, Ahsan Mirza.
