First up: sorry that the blog round up is tardy this week! To make up for it you will be getting two blog round ups to quell your thirst for legal news and tidbits. Now, on to the fun stuff.
The National Post reports that a police officer dubbed "Officer Bubbles" during the G20 protests in Toronto because of this video, which led a popular YouTube cartoon of him, is suing YouTube for a cool $1.2 million and the identification of the creator of the latter video. The cartoon has been removed from YouTube until the lawsuit is resolved. I don't know why he's so mad. His nickname is soooooo cute!!!
The judge in the Colonel Williams hearing has lifted a ban on laptops and smartphones for journalists who are present at the proceedings, allowing them to update readers live via Twitter and Facebook. But will the judge be able to keep the sentencing under 140 characters?
A Boston College School of Law 3L wrote the Dean asking for his money back, sparking the old question; is school a product that we pay for, or does it have more intangible benefits?
Asylum found 10 of the worst law firm ad's out there. My fav? The CGI rappers who just want their insurance to pay up (via Precedent Magazine).
And advance polls are open for Windsor municipal elections! Go vote!
