Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Colin Campbell and Robert Raizenne about their book, A History of Canadian Income Tax Volume II, 1948-71. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the creation and enforcement of the 1948 Income Tax Act and its subsequent amendments. It details the policy discussions among senior officials and finance ministers on various tax system matters, drawing extensively from parliamentary debates, government documents, and resources from the Canadian Tax Foundation. Colin Campbell began his career as a political science professor at Mount Allison University before earning his law degree at Western. He practiced as a tax partner at Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP, specializing in tax planning and representing clients in court. Colin taught at Western Law from 1999 to 2009 as an adjunct, then joined full-time in 2011 as an associate professor. He has written extensively on tax and serves as chair of the Canada Revenue Agency's Offshore Compliance Advisory Committee. Robert Raizenne has extensive experience in tax planning, including cross-border and domestic M&A, corporate reorganizations, international tax, and trusts. He is also an experienced tax litigator. Robert is an adjunct professor of tax law at McGill and the University of Toronto, and a frequent speaker and writer at major tax conferences, including those hosted by the Canadian Tax Foundation and the International Fiscal Association.

The concept of natural law, that governed justice for some 2000 years, is put under duress during the period known as the enlightenment.Many changes and new concepts emerge, including some that are directly embedded in the U.S. declaration of independence and its Constitution. The plot definitely thickens.Support the show

A theatre producer and lawyer, Michael Rubinoff (TW:@mrubinof) IG:@mrubinoff)is most passionate about igniting creation and supporting storytellers. Over the last decade he sparked a renaissance in Canadian musical theatre by developing thirty new musicals through the Canadian Music Theatre Project (the "CMTP"), an internationally recognized incubator of new works that he founded in 2011. Michael conceived the creation of the international hit musical Come From Away, for which he is a Producer and the Creative Consultant on productions worldwide, and has received the Olivier Award for Best Musical, a Tony Award Nomination for Best New Musical and the Meritorious Service Cross awarded by the Governor General of Canada on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and all Canadians. During a decade of service in post-secondary education, Michael has served as academic leader, director of a research centre and elected member of a Board of Governors. He has collaborated with producers, creators and educators around the world to support innovation and creativity in theatre and arts education. As a leading expert and thought leader in the development of new musicals, he has been called upon to provide guidance and leadership to not for profit organizations, colleges and universities, commercial producers, emerging arts practitioners and government agencies. Education: Michael completed his B.A. (Political Science) and LL.B. at Western University. He was the recipient of the Dean Ivan C. Rand Award in recognition of meritorious academic standing throughout his years in law, and outstanding contributions in the service of the undergraduate students of the Faculty of Law. He remains the only student to have been elected twice as president of Western Law's Student Legal Society. He also served as the elected student representative to Western's Board of Governors. He was a member of the 2000 winning team of the Niagara International Law Moot Court Competition and the valedictorian of his graduating law class. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 2002 and is a member of the Law Society of Ontario. Michael is a graduate of the Commercial Theatre Institute's intensive producing program in New York and is a 2015 member of the Governor General's Canadian Leadership Conference.    “I think only people in the theater know what a producer is. The public does not know. It knows a writer writes, and an actor acts, and a director tells them what to do. A producer raises money. Well, he does, and in some cases that's all he does. But the workers in the theater know that this is not the real thing. A producer is a rare, paradoxical genius -hard-headed, soft-hearted, cautious, reckless, a hopeful innocent in fair weather, a stern pilot in stormy weather, a mathematician who prefers to ignore the laws of mathematics and trust intuition, an idealist, a realist, a practical dreamer, a sophisticated gambler, a stage-struck child. That's a producer.”— Oscar Hammerstein II

Systemic racism and racial profiling in law enforcement both exist in Canada. Lawyer Sunil Gurmukh has partnered with Western University Faculty of Law on the Hidden Racial Profiling Project, aimed at uncovering racial profiling in law enforcement across the country. Join Becca Orsini, host and 2L student at Western Law, as Gurmukh discusses his career as a human rights lawyer as well as his work on this project.

Our guest this episode is Sydney McIvor, a 3L student. Sydney mentions a play for her law-related entertainment -- What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck -- which she saw on Broadway. (Lucky her! -- but also lucky for those who have access to Amazon Prime as it is available for streaming: https://www.amazon.com/What-Constitution-Means-Me/dp/B08KRB3FQ4)   Sydney talks about two internships/placements she's had, both of which took her outside of Canada. First, during her 1L summer she was with the World Bank Group in Washington DC -- an internship funded through Osgoode Hall Law School (there's another position funded through Western Law); and second, a term spent at The Hague in the Residual Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals - which related to matters left over from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Richard thought she was paid for these positions, but she assured us she wasn't.   Felicity is curious as to why Sydney hates Canada because she's always off galivanting around the world. Sydney's answer is much more sophisticated: she sees law as a somewhat limited licensed profession because expertise in it is not all that transferable, unlike other professions. For her, committing to one jurisdiction (as you pretty much need to do if you're going to have a career in professional practice) can be daunting for someone just starting out, and the barriers to moving around are high.   Sydney's advice if you want to do international law work: think about going to law school in the place you want to be; but if that's not possible, realize that a common law degree is a good backstop, particularly if the law school has an international reputation (which many in Canada do).     Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

In Sierra Leone’s capital city, amidst an uneasy peace in the bloody aftermath of the country’s civil war, sat a shipping container converted into a makeshift courtroom. And inside this metal box, a team of lawyers sought to bring justice to women and young girls of this strike-torn country. The lawyers were part of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) and Western Law professor Valerie Oosterveld – who can be credited in part with SCSL’s beginnings – is writing its story.

Attorney-Client Privilege predates US history and is a fixture of Western Law. Pro advocates of its proliferation declare its necessity to a fair and adequate defense. According to many legal experts, NSA monitoring of privileged attorney-client communications stands in direct violation to the United States Bill of Rights and yet others disagree. In this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, hosts Bob Ambrogi and J. Craig Williams shed light on this issue with guests Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of the University of California, Irvine School of Law and Dr. John Eastman of Chapman University Fowler School of Law. Erwin Chemerinsky is the founding Dean and Distinguished Professor of Law, and Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law, at the University of California, Irvine School of Law. His areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, constitutional law, federal practice, and civil rights. Erwin is a renowned author of seven books and nearly 200 articles in top law reviews. He has argued before the nation's highest courts and has been counsel to detainees in Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba. He is also a regular commentator on legal issues before the national and local media. Dr. John Eastman is the Henry Salvatori Professor of Law and Community Service at Chapman University Fowler School of Law. He was the School's Dean from June 2007 to January 2010, when he stepped down to pursue a bid for California Attorney General. John is the Founding Director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, former law clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, and has served as the Director of Congressional and Public Affairs at the United States Commission on Civil Rights during the Reagan administration. He is also a regular commentator on legal issues before the national and local media. Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio.
