FRANKLIN: PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE Y VIRTUE OF OUR BI-MONTHLY EBULLETIN AND UPDATED, IMPROVED WEBSITE, EACH OF WHICH I COMMEND AS EXCELLENT RESOURCES, YOU SHOULD KNOW ALL THAT IS GOING ON WITHIN THE COLLEGE. THEREFORE, I WILL DEPART SOMEWHAT FROM ROUTINE AND SHARE A FEW THOUGHTS ON MY MIND, HAVING COMPLETED THE FIRST BQUARTER OF THIS COLLEGE YEAR AND AS WE ENTER 2018. I EXPRESS SOME THOUGHTS ON THE ROLE THAT COLLEGIALITY PLAYS IN OUR FELLOWSHIP. In looking at our history book, Sages of Their Craft, detailing the first fifty years of the Col- lege, it notes that in seeking candidates we are looking for excellence of character, and then goes on to state that our standard requires “that intangible quality that we label collegiality.” And the following appears in the induction charge, delivered by a Past President to each group of new inductees: Here, we seek, for the moment, to obliterate the recollection of our distractions, our controversies and our trials, and to transport ourselves from the rush and tumult and uproar of our daily lives into the quiet fellowship and congenial society of our fellow leaders of the bar. In this select circle, we find pleasure and charm in the illustrious company of our contemporaries and take the keenest delight in exalting our friendships. The unique opportunity to serve as your President provides the benefit of experiencing our collegiality firsthand, and at its finest. This quality, intangible as it may be, permeates our gatherings, large and small. We can feel it from the very beginning of an event and through- out the evening as Fellows, spouses and guests gather together. The importance of this quality finds its way into our Code of Pretrial and Trial Conduct. In the preamble, it states: “. Fellows are expected to adhere to the highest possible standards of ethical and collegial behavior . .” And in the foreword to the Code, in describing tra- ditional aspirations of the profession, it states: “A distaste for meanness, sharp practice and unnecessarily aggressive behavior.” Closely related, in my mind, is the role of civility in all our relations.

    Table of Contents • CCCC attended Supreme Court of Canada hearing on the Aga case CCCC attended Supreme Court of Canada hearing on the Aga case Analysis of current issues involving law, religion, and society, led by Barry W. Bussey, Director of Legal Affairs. By Barry W. Bussey CCCC (09.12.2020) - https://bit.ly/3nlGTQl - CCCC’s Director of Legal Affairs, Barry W. Bussey, represented the CCCC at the Supreme Court of Canada’s virtual hearing today (Dec 9) in the case of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church of Canada St. Mary Cathedral, et al. v. Teshome Aga, (39094). CCCC was granted the opportunity to intervene in the case, and to file a brief, but was not given time for oral argument. Brief fact summary Several members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church St. Mary Cathedral were on a committee that investigated a movement within the congregation. The committee reported to Archbishop Dimetros that the movement was heretical. The committee recommended action, including purging of heretics. When Archbishop Dimetros did not follow their recommendations, the committee members were robust in their opposition – to the point that they were warned of church discipline. Finally, they were suspended from membership. In response, they then sued in court. The church in return asked for summary judgment to dismiss the lawsuit. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice agreed with the church and dismissed the disgruntled members’ lawsuit, noting that the courts have no jurisdiction to hear such cases. However, the members appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal stated that courts could hear the case because there was a contract between the members and the church.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

Nicholas Kasirer The Center for Civil Law Studies of the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center presents the 37th John H. Tucker, jr. Lecture in Civil Law: “That Montreal Sound: The Influence of French Legal Ideas and the French Language on the Civil Law Expressed in English” Given by: The Hon. Nicholas Kasirer (Cour d’appel du Québec) Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center McKernan Auditorium Reception to follow The Speaker: The Honorable Nicholas Kasirer is a judge at the Court of Appeal of Quebec, appointed in 2009. He is a graduate of the McGill University Faculty of Law, where he served as an editor for the McGill Law Journal, and where he later served as a Professor (1989-2009) and Dean of the Faculty (2003-2009). The topic: The Civil Law in English has a distinctive sound, setting it apart lexically and conceptually from the vocabulary of the Common Law. In jurisdictions connected to the French civilian tradition such as Quebec, this distinctiveness is in part the result of the imprint of French legal ideas and of the French language on legal parlance. The language of the law is also distinctive in other mixed jurisdictions – there appears to be a “New Orleans Sound” and an emerging “Eurobeat” for the Civil Law in English – where the influence of French, as a matter of historical and social fact, is felt differently.
