PDF Version: ABlawg: Year in Review 2020
Dedication
This year in review post is dedicated to the memory of Joseph J. Arvay, Q.C., O.C., O.B.C., who passed away suddenly on December 7, 2020. As the In Memoriam page on the website of his firm Arvay Finlay notes, Joe was “one of the most brilliant and successful constitutional and civil liberties lawyers of his time.” He represented parties in “some of the defining cases of our generation including, among many others, medical assistance in dying, access to legal safe injection sites, the right of workers to associate in pursuit of workplace goals, and LGBTQ rights.”
For many bloggers on this site, Joe was both a hero and a role model.
ABlawg is pleased to provide this compilation of highlights from 2020, summarizing and synthesizing bloggers’ contributions in different areas of law during the past year. Overall, it was a busy year that included important commentary on a range of matters, including, of course, various dimensions of COVID-19.
