Bienvenues à LegalEase, une émission consacrée au droit qui vise à

en rendre le jargon plus accessible tout en évaluant de manière

critique ses institutions.

LegalEase is a monthly show put together by a collective of former

and current law students at McGill that explores the law and its

institutions with a critical lens and at the same time makes the

jargon of the law more accessible.

First off, LegalEase’s Emma Noradounkian interviews the McGill

Faculty of Law’s Universal Access Consultant, Gift Tshuma, on his

accessibility report, which was released in the late Fall of 2016.

They discussed the details of the report and ways that students can get involved to make the Faculty more accessible and inclusive for all.

Next, we’ll hear from the McGill Legal Information Clinic on the current status of name changing in Quebec, brought to you by Alexa Franckzak.

The Legal Information Clinic is a non-profit,

student-run, bilingual and free information legal service. Their

mandate is to provide legal information, student advocacy services,

referral and community services to the McGill and Montreal

communities, with a continuing commitment to meeting the needs

of marginalized groups. The clinic is located in the SSMU building

on McTavish.

Finally, we’ll feature a talk which Professor Afua Cooper gave

during Professor Adelle Blackett's “Slavery and the Law” seminar.

A scholar, historian, poet, and commentator– she currently is an

Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology and Social

Anthropology at Dalhousie University and founded a minor in

Black Canadian Studies. She discusses her research and the history

of slavery in Canada by pointing to individual narratives and the

cultural entrenchment of the practice in codes and statutes. She

completely demolishes the myth of a benign, slave-free Canada.
