Political Interference & Manslaughter at Costco – Legally Speaking

 

Prepare to navigate the tumultuous waters of legal reform and societal justice with our guest, Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defence Lawyers. Our latest episode peels back the layers of Bill 21, a contentious BCNDP legislation aimed at bringing the regulator of lawyers in British Columbia under political control. Feel the electric tension as we dissect the Law Society of BC’s apprehensions, the BC Conservative Party’s firm stance on repeal, and the international law implications flagged by Lawyers’ Rights Watch Canada. We tackle the poignant question: How will political gamesmanship shape the future of legal regulation?

Venture further as we redefine the ordinary, transforming a Surrey man’s storage dilemma into a case study on municipal bylaws. Meanwhile, we scrutinize the recent triage policy by the BC First Nations Justice Council on Gladue reports, underscoring the impact a lack of resources could have on justice for Indigenous people. Join us for a compelling journey through the intricate crossroads where law meets life.
