Golden living dreams of visions … it’s the dawning of the age of Aquarius – well, of the March 2024 issue of the Advocate. Let the sunshine in!
Presiding over the front cover is retiring Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson. A gold mine of information about him is found in Giuseppe Battista, K.C.’s accompanying article. Discussing whether a case can be heard in the Chief Justice’s court are the duo of H. David Edinger and Kailey Graham, in “Disputing Jurisdiction: A Review of Recent Case Law on Territorial Competence”. In “Whither Judicial Review”, retired Judge Thomas S. Woods discusses threats to judicial review here and abroad, while the “Wine Column” describes grapes withering on the vine.
Entre Nous muses on elected officials’ criticism of participants in the judicial system while, turning to an age when elements of the judicial system were turned to nefarious purposes, Gordon Hilliker, K.C., examines “The Trials of Wong Foon Sing”. From the more recent past, Joe Bellows, K.C., challenges readers to “Spot the Lawyer” in a photograph of his UBC law school class, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Read about the Aquarian Foundation (and the notorious Brother XII) in D. Michael Bain, K.C.’s two-part Legal Anecdotes and Miscellanea, which starts in this issue, and read all about the interplay between gold and law in Bench and Bar. Is there a lack of harmony and understanding regarding the amount of trivia Bench and Bar contains? Check out the Grumble to find out, and Advocate News to find out why you too should write in.
Many other pots of gold await in our regular features, including insights from LAPBC and news from the Attorney General, the British Columbia Law Institute, Allard Law and TRU Law. We have also restored a golden oldie (sidelined during the period that COVID-19 meant notices and directions evolved too quickly for print): our section featuring “Court Notices and Directions”, outlining new developments on public access, artificial intelligence and other topics.
