Volunteer Event for 1Ls at McInnes Cooper

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 19:00:00 GMT

McInnes Cooper is pleased to partner with the Telecom Pioneers – a group of Bell Aliant retirees who dedicate time to various volunteer activities – to invite all first-year Schulich Law students to a volunteer event to help make heart-shaped pillows for cardiac surgery patients at the QEII hospital.

Following the activity, students are welcome to mingle with McInnes Cooper members, enjoy some light refreshments, and learn more about the student recruitment process at the firm, as well as its Collective Social Responsibility Initiative, which includes community engagement, environmental stewardship, pro bono legal services, wellness promotion, and inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA).

Why heart-shaped pillows? Heart-shaped pillows provide relief for cardiac surgery patients by stabilizing the chest cavity when coughing, repositioning, sneezing, or laughing, which can be painful after an operation. Beyond the physical benefits, the heart shape serves as a symbol of comfort, support, and survival, and the pillows often become cherished mementos of recovery.

2025 Stanfield Conversation: Challenges to the rule of law and the future of liberal democracy

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Courts and the Dynamics of Democratic Decline

Even in some of the world’s sturdiest democracies, leaders are deliberately undermining courts to weaken, or even dismantle, checks on their power.

In many cases, the justice system is not only being sidelined but “weaponized” against political opponents through political appointments, the strong-arming of judges and law firms, and lawsuits and prosecutions designed to intimidate critics.

These tactics threaten the rule of law – a necessary component of democracy. How much damage has already been done? Where and how can courts reassert themselves in ways that bolster threatened democracies? And what, if anything, can judges, lawyers, and ordinary citizens do to shore up the legal foundations of democracy?

This year's Stanffield Conversation will be moderated by journalist, producer of CBC's IDEAS, and Dal alumna Mary Lynk (BA '84) and will include two featured speakers:

Wayne MacKay, Professor Emeritus of Law, Schulich School of Law
Asha Rangappa, Senior Lecturer, Jackson School of Global Affairs, Yale University, and former FBI Special Agent
