Bernardo Jail Transfer Questions, Failed Hfx Dentist Class Action Attempt, Hamilton Police Drones Criticized , and Artificial Intelligence v. Lawyers
This week in law, I discuss the proposal to move notorious killer and rapist Paul Bernardo to a medium security prison, the likely reasons behind the request, and what changes could be made to parole reviews in order to avoid this kind of situation. In addition, I cover the failed attempt to certify a class action lawsuit against a suspended Halifax dentist, Dr. Errol Gaum, and also the sentencing of former Better Business Bureau CEO Peter Moorhouse's co-accused. Internationally, there is the new indictment against former President Trump, and a decision from the International Criminal Court regarding an alleged war criminal from Rwanda. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association issued a critique of the Hamilton Police usage of drones in the investigations. I discuss the privacy implications, and how drones may have a chilling effect on protests and freedom of expression. Finally, I review an article from the Economist on the predicted effects of artificial intelligence on the practice of law.
