Current Issue: November 2023
Who is that handsome man with the engaging smile loitering near the cannery in Steveston on the November 2023 cover of The Advocate!? It’s none other than the CBABC’s new president, Scott Morishita. Find out what makes him tick starting on page 817.
Entre Nous examines the sorts of perks that seem to come with sitting on the US Supreme Court (ethical or otherwise), and a host of luminaries provide us with a variety of insights on a wide variety of topics. Bruce Woolley, K.C., for example, gives us the first installment of Real Estate Agency law in B.C. while David Ross asks about whether we give a hoot about Hootsuite. Notwithstanding that, D. Barry Kirkham, K.C. examines the provincial notwithstanding powers when it comes to immunizing legislation from Charter challenges.
Trevor Williams provides us with some insight into how certain streets in Vancouver came to end where they end. David A. Pauk, K.C. writes about the benefits of online mediations. Bhuvana Rai weighs in on the reporting requirements for employment lawyers reaching settlements on behalf of their clients. “Sylvie & The Wasp” by Leslie Palleson is the third place winner of the 2023 Advocate Short Story competition.
If you were a frog you could leap easily between and amongst the Wine Column, News from BC Law Institute, LAPBC Notes and A View from the Centre. But why stop there? Over on this lily pad there is news from two of BC’s three law faculties, over on that one is Nos Disparus and if you were wondering about what lawyers were saying about environmental responsibility in 1969 and 1971 check out From Our Back Pages. D. Michael Bain, K.C. now and then has something to say about his favourite subject and this month’s Legal Anecdotes is no exception. Once again the law and one of his heroes intersect in an unlikely international manner. When you get to Bench & Bar you’re going to be jumping for joy.
