Introducing Delve Books!
Posted by irwinlaw on August 21, 2019 in delve books.
Irwin Law is proud to announce the launch of Delve Books, a new trade imprint that will focus on providing insightful analysis into influential law cases that have shaped Canadian culture and society. Our books will be aimed at the general trade audience — readers who are interested in the impact of the law on their lives, but who may not necessarily have a legal background.
Delve will focus on filling the gap in the literary marketplace for intelligent and entertaining books that analyze the ramifications of a case’s judgment or how the case has shaped society. We see an opportunity to provide original, meaningful, and compelling analysis into major Canadian criminal cases.
Our first title is The Death of a Butterfly: Mental Health Court Diaries, which explores the mental health court and its relationship with the mentally disordered accused from the perspective of Ontario Court Justice Richard D. Schneider.
And we’re just getting started! Be sure to check back often and follow Delve Books on social media for updates:

2019 Harvey T. Strosberg Essay Prize Winner Announced
Harvey T. Strosberg, Q.C. and Irwin Law Inc. are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2019 Harvey T. Strosberg Essay Prize for the best student essay on Class Actions in Canada is Eliza Lynn Brown.
Ms. Brown is a second-year law student at the Peter A. Allard School of Law. In 2015, she received a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from the University of British Columbia. Her prize-winning paper, “Class Actions, Climate Change, and the Charter: Is Success Possible in Common Law Canada?” will appear in an upcoming issue of the Canadian Class Action Review. She will also receive a prize of $10,000.
Coughlan and Frazer Among the Most Influential Lawyers of 2019
Congratulations to Irwin Law authors Steve Coughlan and Mitch Frazer who have been named to Canadian Lawyer's Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers list!
Steve Coughlan (Criminal Procedure 3/e, Detention and Arrest 2/e, The Anatomy of Criminal Procedure) spearheaded the efforts of the entire criminal law academic community in advising the Department of Justice on changes that led to the passage of Bill C-51, which removed outdated offences, reverse onuses and non-Charter-compliant crimes. It also led to the drafting of Bill C-75 (currently before the Senate). Coughlan’s efforts led directly to greater links between the Department of Justice and the criminal law academic community, which have already started to bear fruit such as the report on reforming the law of duress. Having a large portion of the Canadian judiciary as an audience means Coughlan is having an impact on the development of Canada’s criminal law justice system.
Mitch Frazer’s (Pension Law 2/e) practice focuses on all aspects of pensions, benefits and employment. Frazer represented Navistar Canada, on behalf of its pension plans, in its purchase of group annuity contracts, valued at approximately $313 million in obligations and related assets of defined benefits plans from RBC Life Insurance Company and iA Financial Group. He also represented Enbridge in its $4.31-billion sale of its Canadian natural gas gathering and processing business in the Montney, Peace River Arch, Horn River and Liard basins in British Columbia and Alberta. Frazer represented Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and Fairfax Financial as part of a consortium in its acquisition of the Hudson Bay Rail Line and the Port of Churchill. He is a recipient of the Ontario Bar Association Award of Excellence in Pension and Benefits Law in 2019.
Once again, Irwin Law would like to congratulate Steve Coughlan and Mitch Frazer on this wonderful achievement.

Suzanne Chiodo wins 2019 Peter Oliver Prize
Irwin Law wishes to congratulate Suzanne Chiodo for being selected by the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History as a recipient of the Peter Oliver Prize in Canadian Legal History for her book The Class Actions Controversy: The Origins and Development of the Ontario Class Proceedings Act (Irwin Law Inc, 2018).
The Peter Oliver Prize in Canadian Legal History was established in 2006 to honour the late Professor Peter Oliver, the Osgoode Society's founding editor-in-chief. The prize is awarded annually for a student's published journal article, book chapter or book about Canadian legal history. Students in any discipline at any stage of their career are eligible.
"We applaud the award recipients for enriching Canadians' understanding of the country's legal history," said Professor Jim Phillips, editor-in-chief of the Osgoode Society. "Through their work, this year's award recipients have helped promote the public's interest in the history of law and the legal profession."
Once again, Irwin Law would like to congratulate Suzanne Chiodo on this wonderful achievement.
