Feds Seek Retroactive Publication Ban, Small Claims Adjudicator Critiqued, 54 Indigenous Fishers Facing Charges, Dal Law Grad Refuses Oath, Court's A.I. Warning

This week, I review a Dalhousie Law School graduate who challenged the Alberta Law Society's requirement to swear allegiance to the Queen, the Federal Crown asking the court to impose a retroactive publication ban (and then threatening to charge the Halifax Examiner with violating that publication ban) after an embarrassing display from a witness protection program witness, indigenous fishers charged in 54 cases in Nova Scotia, and a warning from the Supreme Court of NS about lawyers using artificial intelligence in their legal arguments. Before getting into the big stories, I mention the Trump lawyers who plead guilty this week to election interference charges, the Saskatchewan Parents' Bill of Rights passing, and the five year anniversary of the legalization of cannabis in Canada.
