Welcome to Season Three of Jumping Off the Ivory Tower! Our season opener looks back – and forward – at 50 years of legal education at Windsor Law, established in 1968 with a mission then described as teaching “people’s law, not lawyer’s law”. Dean Chris Waters, along with alums Justice Lloyd Dean, and Parisa Jiwa, discuss what they’ve learned from being part of Windsor Law, and the impact of Windsor’s mission on their work, as well as how Windsor Law could do still better in facing new access to justice challenges. (Pictured below, left to right: Dean Waters, Justice Dean, Ms. Jiwa)
And we’re excited to announce that Ali Tejani, one of our fantastic NSRLP research assistants, is the new voice of our “In Other News” segment, our regular update on happenings in the world of A2J, presented as always with our particular “people’s law” NSRLP angle. This week, Ali brings you reports from the US and Canada on unbundled legal services, as well as an announcement about a new NSRLP project to update our popular “primers” for SRLs.

so glad to see you back. I am going to suggest to you that unfortunately,, some of the progress it seems is “being made”. is not really,. I filed a complaint with the law society of BC. I hired a lawyer to submit new evidence to the courts. he kept my money, refused to do the work. then offered to return the money, and did not. I sent my request to the law society asking for my money to be returned. They issued a judgement defending the lawyer, not mentioning the money at all. I have pointed out that I simply want my money back. they refuse to answer. So, no one will simply address the matter of returning my money. And it seems the method of madness in this, is to answer issues that were not raised. and ignore anything to do with the issue of money. NOW How do we, the public simply get a sensible answer regarding the money we give to lawyers, who do not want to do the job, but keep the money?? no one is helping.
