I arrived in the UK today, not to attend the coronation, though I did buy a Coronation Chicken sandwich at the airport, but for the launch of our annual International Law spring term at the Queen's University UK campus, Bader College, at Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, below.

Spring time at Bader College, Queen's University's UK campus. Canadian Ambassador to the Organization of American States, Hugh Adsett, leads off the International Law spring term.

Queen's University announced today that Colleen Flood will be our next Dean of Law. I am thrilled. Colleen has an international reputation as a brilliant scholar of public law and health law. We are so fortunate to have her assume the reigns of leadership at Queen's Law.

#QueensULaw’s EDII Director Stacia Loft met with former Attorney General of Canada Jody Wilson-Raybould (Jody Wilson-Raybould (JWR), PC, OBC, KC 王州迪) at Tyendinaga’s Kanhiote Public Library to discuss her publications examining the importance of #reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

Congratulations to JWR, Jody Wilson-Raybould (JWR), PC, OBC, KC 王州迪, on receiving an honorary doctorate from Queen's today!

Kim Prost, international lawyer, diplomat, and now judge on the International Criminal Court, received her honorary doctorate from Queen's today. Congratulations Kim!

I shook the hand of Dean John Whyte when getting my law degree from Queen's in 1989. He was and remains a mentor to me. I never imagined then that I'd be in his place one day. My last convocation as Dean of Law is over. It has been such a privilege to honour our graduates.

Symposium to mark and reflect on the 260th anniversary of the Royal Proclamation | 6-7 October '23 at Queen's University Queen's Law | Lindsay Borrows, Aimee Craft, Robert Odawi Porter, Danielle Lussier, Daniel Richter, Michel Morin & more.

For anyone interested in how ideas of peace, friendship, trust, and care between very different peoples was once expressed through shell beading - or wampum - the exhibit at the McCord Museum in Montreal is wonderful.

I am saddened by the news of J.G.A. Pocock's death yesterday -- he was a few months from his 100th birthday. His book, The Ancient Constitution (1957), had a profound impact. It is a brilliant, original, hard, and frustrating book -- as good books should be.

As a visiting fellow at Balliol College and a “Blue” varsity runner at Oxford (1990-91), I attended an event today celebrating the 70th anniversary of Roger Bannisters' first sub-4 minute mile (achieved in Oxford). Mile legends Filbert Bayi and Noureddine Morceli were there!

Spent 2 days on Sir Henry Maine in this room at Paris II Panthéon-Assas, thanks to Marc Goetzmann (U de Tours) and Tristan Pouthier (CY Cergy Paris). Catherine Marshall and Céline Roynier (both Cergy) who are editing a book on Dicey were there. History of legal ideas at its best.
