Paula Boutis and our articling student, Jessica Weizenbluth, recently authored a paper on species at risk legislation which Paula presented as part of the Law Society of Upper Canada’s Six Minute Environmental Lawyer 2012. The paper and presentation provide an overview of the laws on the books, how they have been applied, case law, and where the legislation is going from here. Download the paper and presentation here.
