  • TIME Anne Giardini, Q.C. Chancellor, Simon Fraser University September 11, 2015
    TIME Anne Giardini, Q.C. Chancellor, Simon Fraser University September 11, 2015 In Cambridge, England, at street level outside the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, you can visit a sculpture in the form of a clock. The Corpus Clock was conceived and paid for by John Taylor, a Corpus Christi alumnus, and was unveiled on September 19, 2008, by Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking. You may have heard of him. He wrote, among other books, A History of Time as well as a follow up volume for those of us who didn’t quite make it all the way through that slender book, called A Briefer History of Time. That book, to digress, and this will be a talk filled with digressions, is a presentation of quantum mechanics, string theory, the big bang theory, and other topics, in what is promised to be “a more accessible fashion”. Has any one read either one? If so, I am full of admiration. As many of us know, in 1963, at age 21, Professor Hawking was told that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. He was also told that the median life expectancy of his disease was 2 years. He is, rather famously, still alive – it might be that the misty fen air of Cambridge is better for one’s health than we had thought – in fact is still at work today, proving the soundness of the theory put forward somewhat later by Stephen Jay Gould, who said, of his own doctors’ prediction that he would likely live only 8 months after a diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma “the median is not the message”.

  • Annual Report, 2009
    REGULATING LAWYERS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST FOR 125 YEARS THE LAW SOCIETY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 2009 ANNUAL REVIEW The roots of BC’s legal profession can be traced back to England. In 1858, Queen Victoria appointed Matthew Begbie as the first judge of the colony of British Columbia. Chief Justice Begbie was responsible for calling lawyers to the Bar and administering justice in BC’s vast frontier. In 1863, an English lawyer living in BC was accused of defrauding people in card games. Begbie was away conducting circuit courts in the Cariboo at the time. Out of a concern for public confidence, Henry Crease, BC’s first lawyer, decided to take action. Crease assembled the province’s lawyers to collectively prevent this unsavory individual from practising law in the new colony. This was the beginning of the self-governance of lawyers in BC. On a summer’s day in 1869, Crease brought 13 lawyers together in the City of Victoria, laying the foundation of a governing body known today as the Law Society. In 1884, the provincial government passed the Legal Professions Act—legislation that incorporated the Law Society of British Columbia. TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 About the Law Society 3 Legal Profession in BC 4 Highlights 6 President’s Message 7 CEO’s Message 8 Strategic Plan Update 10 Review of Performance 21 Management Board In consideration of our environmental footprint, the 22 Benchers 2009 Law Society Annual Review is being distributed in electronic form.
