Turns out that the publisher of the property law textbook I use, Thomson Reuters, "holds a contract worth up to $22 million (U.S.) that began in May 2021 to provide ICE with access to a law enforcement investigative database subscription". Welp, new book time... www.thestar.com/business/mor...
thestar.com
More than a dozen Canadian companies – including Thomson Reuters – have done business with ICE, Star analysis reveals
Such contracts have become controversial as concerns mount that products or services sold to ICE could be used by the agency in activities that may violate human rights.

This year's @windsora2j.bsky.social Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice Distinguished Lecture will be delivered by Professor Emeritus and former Editor-in-Chief @richardmoon.bsky.social Join us Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at noon in the @windsorlaw.bsky.social Moot Court. Reception to follow.
Event poster: 2026 Distinguished Lecture of the Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice
Richard Moon
Distinguished University Professor Emeritus

“The Social Character of Rights and the Limits of Adjudication”
 
In this talk, Prof. Moon will consider two themes that have recurred in his writing: first, that constitutional rights do not simply protect individual autonomy but instead protect different aspects of human flourishing or dignity in the community, and second, that courts, as adjudicative bodies, are unable to give full or even significant protection to these rights.

“Massive #s of students are going to emerge... who are essentially illiterate. Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate + having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” This isn't the only reason AI is bad, but it's why it is bad for students.
It isn’t as if cheating is new. But now, as one student put it, “the ceiling has been blown off.” Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences? After spending the better part of the past two years grading AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, and Cal State Chico ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.” That future may arrive sooner than expected when you consider what a short window college really is. Already, roughly half of all undergrads have never experienced college without easy access to generative AI. “We’re talking about an entire generation of learning perhaps significantly undermined here,” said Green, the Santa Clara tech ethicist. “It’s short-circuiting the learning process, and it’s happening fast.”

the technodystopia is here nymag.com/intelligence...
Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (Sarah’s name, like those of other current students in this article, has been changed for privacy.) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.”
