The use of artificial intelligence (鈥淎I鈥) across sectors of society has become increasingly ubiquitous. The ubiquity of AI calls into question the ethical implications of its far-reaching use and how jurists can prepare themselves in an AI-driven world. The answer to educating future jurists about the challenges AI poses can potentially be found in law schools. However, many law schools do not yet meaningfully integrate AI in their curricula.

As the 21st century began, the emigration of Canadian lawyers to the United States was seen as a crisis within the Canadian legal profession. Today, it is accepted as a fact of life. Yet, trends in that migration pattern have never been publicly quantified. Using data from the New York State Bar Association, LinkedIn, interviews, and archival sources, I studied the history of Canadian-trained lawyers in New York, the primary American jurisdiction of legal practice for Canadians. As I show, once opportunities opened for Canadian law students to practice in large New York law firms, their emigration largely became a function of the business cycle. Concerns about Canadian lawyers emigrating to large American law firms returned amid 2021鈥檚 white hot market, but these concerns paled in comparison to the anxiety that the Canadian legal profession once felt about Canadian brain drain. During a hiring boom in 2000, Professor Harry Arthurs wrote about the arrival of American legal employers at Canadian law schools and the moral panic that ensued over the loss of Canada鈥檚 鈥渂est and brightest.鈥 Since then, American recruitment of Canadian lawyers has continued, but studies of that recruitment have not. To understand how the American recruitment of Canadian lawyers emerged and evolved, I examined the history of Canadians practicing in New York. This blog post briefly summarizes some of my findings.

Over the past 17 years, the World Bank鈥檚 Doing Business (DB) index has evolved to be the most cited benchmark for evaluating the regulatory environment of small businesses around the world. Recently, the World Bank acknowledged 鈥渄ata irregularities鈥 in audit reports and suspended its 2021 publication. The external panel specifically identified irregularities in the indicators regarding the judiciary鈥檚 role in contract enforcement and those which suggest the need for law reform. This author argues that rankings of favourable business climates must be independently scrutinized, especially where the indices extend to the role of the local judiciary.
