Obiter Dicta, the law school paper at Osgoode Hall, quoted Omar Ha-Redeye on the CBA Futures Initiative to “Do Law Differently.”

The discussion often circled back to the many frustrations everyone felt with the industry. The innovators had high praise for the ‘Do Law Differently’ guide, but lamented their own law school experiences where industry awareness and innovation training were all but unheard of. As someone currently in that boat, I could relate. Omar Ha-Redeye, a Toronto lawyer and legal educator, spoke about the efforts he’s been involved in at Osgoode to bring innovation into the classroom. Between those efforts, new programs at many Canadian law schools, and the new guide, the wheels are certainly turning, but I believe we may still be some time from a truly amended curriculum.

  • Delays in Access to Justice and Memories May 1, 2024
    Everyone is the poet of their memories. … But like the best poems, they’re also never really finished because they gain new meaning as time reveals them in different lights. Richard Hell The resolution of disputes does not always depend on the memories of parties or witnesses, but when credibility is at issue the memories […]
  • Awakening the Sun April 30, 2024
    I recently read about an interesting concept about reframing one’s point of view. It stated that if you wake up with the sun, you are still asleep. However if you awaken the sun, then you are truly awake. I had to read it a few times to actually understand it’s meaning, but then I realized […]
  • Tips Tuesday: Use the Verbatim Option in Google April 30, 2024
    You may have noticed that Google has changed its search results so that they now include words related to those in your search string. While this can be helpful, sometimes it means that the search results are not what you really wanted.  One way of forcing Google to return only the words you are searching […]
