Highlights
Curiouser and curiouser. It is March and with the relentless march of time comes yet another issue of The Advocate. Being curious about things is what we as lawyers should be good at. Entre Nous considers the role that curiosity plays when it comes to practicing law. Our cover subject is none other than Law Society President, Brook Greenberg, K.C. as told by the Honourable Justice Lisa Hamilton and Andrew Nathanson, K.C. and as flanked by his golden retrievers, Joanie and Billy.
A veritable parade of His Majesty’s counsel (Gerald Ghikas, K.C., Bruce Wooley, K.C., Joel Nitikman, K.C. and Kenneth McEwan, K.C.) are indeed curious (and informative) about a variety of compelling topics ranging in turn from the reasonableness standard of review, the George F. Curtis Building at UBC, opinions, advice or direction, and the Inns of Court Program. Speaking of parades, Celia Taylor’s short story “Quinn Stoker” also appears in this issue as the fourth-place winner of the Advocate’s 2024 short story competition.
Michael Welsh, K.C. returns to his regular duties as contributor of the Wine Column which always launches us into news from the BC Law Institute, the CLEBC Society and our three university faculties of law. Also featured are articles from LAPBC and the Attorney General of B.C. Our dearly departed and newly appointed are also highlighted in the March issue and, curiously enough, another book review by Anne Giardini, K.C. this time on Unwinnable Peace: Untold Stories of Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan by Tim Martin.
Curiously in 1976 an issue faced by Canada was inflation. We reproduce an article from that year which suddenly seems somewhat timely now in 2025. If you’re feeling somewhat puzzled these days, then Bench & Bar probably has something for you and curiously while Legal Anecdotes from D. Michael Bain, K.C. tells a tale about some likely lads from Liverpool, it is (for once) not about those ones. Curiouser and curiouser indeed!
