Huge pet peeve: No, “Harvard University” didn’t publish a study, and nor is it proper to say that it is “according to Nature.”
Universities don’t publish studies, professors do. And unless it’s an editorial, journals don’t say things either—authors do.
Many thanks to Nicole & Trevor @cfcj-fcjc.bsky.social for sharing this post today about the loss of Lisa Moore and her contributions to the A2J movement. I honestly can't recall a time when Lisa wasn't writing or relaying a Slaw column. :(

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.
A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.
May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.
During an ongoing press conference, B.C. Premier David Eby says RCMP officers were on the scene of the Tumbler Ridge shooting very quickly - within 2 minutes of reports coming in.

Time permitting I’ll try and live post the proceedings, like I did for the Ottawa convey injunctions back when #lawtwitter was a thing.

"The Manitoba government will be opening a new service hub in Winnipeg that brings together legal and family justice services in French, aimed at making it easier for francophones to access justice supports in their own language."

I love that Bluesky has such a robust legal-journalistic culture now that we have at least three people live-posting this court hearing on the Minneapolis ICE deployment!

My nominations for the 2025 Clawbies:
- @mgeist.bsky.social for LawBytes, a podcast I have found indispensable for years — celebrating its 250th episode this year.
- @privacylawyer.ca for his outstanding YouTube channel, Privacy Guy — enormously informative and insightful.

Sadly I predict a bill targeting universities in the new year. There’s the Mintz report, and Bill 13 limits DEI, cultural competency training and more for professional regulators, as well as the ability to sanction members for expression (this is their “Jordan Peterson” law). We are likely next.
