ABlawg is delighted to announce that Nigel Bankes was awarded a 2019 Canadian Law Blog Award (Clawbie) in the category of Best Bloggers on a Platform or Shared Blog. The awards committee noted his “great analysis of everything going on in energy law, particularly in Alberta” and that “readers call him “the blogger’s blogger” who sets the standard for his fellow authors at ABlawg.” We could not agree more – congratulations Nigel!

We also congratulate U Calgary Law’s Pro Bono Students Canada team, whose podcast Hearsay won a Clawbie in the Best Student Projects category, and our alumnus and ABlawgger Joshua Sealy-Harrington for his success in the Best Twitter Accounts category.

Congratulations to all the Clawbie winners and thanks to our readers for your nominations and continued support.

PDF Version: ABlawg: Year in Review 2018

2018 was a notable year for ABlawg as we celebrated our tenth anniversary in February. ABlawg also received its first cite by the Supreme Court of Canada, with the Supreme Court citing Nigel Bankes’ post, The Duty to Consult and the Legislative Process: But What About Reconciliation?, in Mikisew Cree First Nation v Canada (Governor General in Council), 2018 SCC 40 at para 51. This year also saw ABlawg publish its largest series of posts on a single topic, with 13 posts contributing to the debate on Bills C-68 and C-69 which purport to overhaul the National Energy Board, the federal environmental impact assessment regime, and several other pieces of the federal environmental legislative framework.
