RSS FeedPodcast: Corporate Social Responsibility Blog (Episode 23)
On last week’s podcast, we brought you Part 1 of Omar Ha-Redeye’s interview with Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Associate Jason MacLean. MacLean is one of the contributors to Corporate Social Responsibility – A Legal Analysis. In Part 1 of the interview, MacLean talked about the precautionary principle and how it can create a competitive advantage for the corporations that embrace it. He also discussed how securities law may lead to investors demanding more complete disclosure of the environmental impacts of a corporation’s activities.
This week, we feature Part 2 of Omar’s interview with Jason MacLean. In this episode, MacLean discusses the Supreme Court’s decision in the BCE case, as well as the transition from writing a book to publishing a blog about corporate social responsibility. The blog enables MacLean and his co-authors to chronicle the latest developments in corporate social responsibility and the law without being frozen in time.
Canadian Lawyer Magazine Mentions Law is Cool
The June issue of Canadian Lawyer magazine mentions this site in connection with an article on how lawyers can use online platforms for client development.
Even law students are using the Twitter-blog combination to get their names out there and position themselves in the field. Omar Ha-Redeye, a second-year student at the University of Western Ontario law school, has garnered a lot of attention through his blog as well as through the web sites Law is Cool and Slaw, too, which he says is already benefiting him as he develops a reputation well before he graduates. “I have lots of informal mentorships with lots of lawyers practising in the field.”
Omar Ha-Redeye’s review of the piece can be found on Slaw.
The article also interviewed Erik Magraken of MacIsaac & Co, Deborah Glendinning of Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Rick Powers of the Rotman School of Management, Simone Hughes at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, Michael Rabinovici of AR Communications Inc, Dan Michaluk and Susan Carnevale of Hicks Morley Hamilton Stewart Storie LLP, Michael Rynowecer of BTI Consulting Group Inc., and David Diamond of Diamond & Diamond Lawyers.
