Blog Round Up: November 5th-November 12th 2010

Techno Lawyer outlines the top 5 reasons associates hate partners.   I just want a partner to hate! #stillhasno2Ljob (via Sweet Hot Justice).

Public hearings on police conduct during the Toronto G20 have been taking place this week.  Read all about it at the CBC, or check out one woman's story of having been "kettled" on the Sunday of G20 weekend at the Globe and Mail.  Plus Ipso Facto has our own exclusive story about what it was like to be a legal observer at the G20.

The University of Windsor School of Law has responded to Professor Emily Carasco's allegations in a factum submitted to the Human Rights Tribunal, in it claiming that she has a reputation of being vindictive and vengeful.  I just wish we could make a cake full of rainbows and smiles and we would all eat it and be happy.

The lawyer behind the now infamous "So You Want to go to Law School" YouTube video has been revealed.  Now I know who to send my complaints about the crappy auto-tuned voices to.

Today is Random Act of Kindness day!  So much better than "Kick-a-homeless-bum-in-the-street-day".

The Dean of Windsor Law and YOU!

If you follow the news in Windsor (or in the National Post) you probably know by now that the search for a new Dean of Windsor Law has ended in a mess of plagiarism and a very public human rights complaint by one of the candidates, Professor Emily Carasco.  The questions arising from this are many.  But the one of particular interest to us here at Ipso Facto is: why should you care?

Law schools like to talk a lot about their role in the community.  Windsor Law, in particular, has built a reputation on being a school that focuses on "Access to Justice", which supposedly means allowing your average person access to the same legal services as Conrad Black.  But common sense tells us this is not always the case.

What does the controversy over the Dean of Law at Windsor mean to you?  Do you think it will postively or negatively affect the school?  What about the community?  And what do you want to see the law school in your community doing better?

Ipso Facto will be out at the Windsor Farmer's Market this Saturday to find out.  But leave your thoughs in the comments.  We will be talking about the human rights complaint and the search for the Dean of Law on the first Ipso Facto Wednesday September 22nd, at 8:00 AM.
