This is a recording of Session 1 of the Foley's February Criminal Law CPD Series of 2024. In this episode, Daniel Gurvich KC, Tristan Joseph and Leigh Crosbie discuss responding to Notices to Produce, Obligations of Disclosure, and contrast Continuing and Non-Continuing Offences.

Antitrust cases are often complex and technical, which invites suspicion that such cases should be decided by specialists rather than generalist judges. Would a judge who is truly an antitrust expert think the same? The honorable Judge Douglas Ginsburg of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, speaks with Melissa Maxman and Anora Wang with the utmost candor and (at times) unexpected humor reflecting his decades of experiences, observations, and scholarship.

With special guests:

How long should offenders with more than one murder conviction stay in prison before they are eligible for parole? According to the Supreme Court, the answer is 25 years. Earlier this year, the court found the practice of consecutive life sentences (serving more than 25 years before parole eligibility) to be cruel and unjust. While this is a decision that only affects a few high-profile criminals, it reminds us of some of the worst crimes in Canadian history and will have a direct impact on the families of homicide victims.

On this episode we are joined by Todd Regan, a Partner at Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP and participant on NASBP’s Attorney Advisory Council, to discuss recent case law in which the court held that, if the obligee does not default the subcontractor, then the obligee cannot recover under the bond. We talk through the Arch Insurance Co. v. Graphic Builders case and discuss how the court’s ruling provides an important illustration for surety professionals and contractors to consider.

Andrew Branca is the man behind the Law of Self-Defense. It’s not only a great book to read and have in your range bag, but it’s also a website with tons of information that will keep you up to date on case law and opinions related to people like you who carry a gun.

There have been several recent cases that I wanted to discuss with Andrew: The first was an LAPD cop who was involved in a shooting where the suspect ended up dying. The attorney for the plaintiff suggested the officer was liable since she was a “competitive shooter” and gunslinger. Second, the case of Ahmed Arbury in GA who was killed after being stopped by two citizens who now are facing murder charges. Finally, we talk about the McCloskey’s in St. Louis where the husband and wife defended their home outside with firearms while a mob walked by and threatened them.
