Awards and recognition
Clawbies awards faculty members
Several Common Law Section faculty members have been honoured in the 2024 Clawbies: the Canadian Law Blog Awards recognizing the best online Canadian legal content from the past year.

Now in its 19th year, the Clawbies celebrate free online Canadian legal content:  blogs, podcasts, videos, social accounts, legal newsletters, platform commentary, CanLII Connects, white papers, and more.

Professor Paul Daly was inducted into the Clawbies Hall of Fame for his Administrative Law Matters blog.

“Paul’s stalwart dedication to blogging year after year exemplifies why we began the Clawbies in the first place. Published nearly weekly, Paul’s case analyses and general commentary are beautifully written, with an engaging and genuine voice — a tall order in general, and one that is especially valuable in an AI-saturated world. Congratulations, Paul!”

Professor Jamie Liew was named in the Best Legal Podcasts 2024 category for her five-year-old Migrations Conversations podcast.

“Jamie Liew speaks with fascinating guests, including lawyers, researchers, writers, and everyday people whose lives have been shaped by the migration experience. There might never be a more opportune time than right now to listen and learn more about history, human rights, colonialism, and refugee and immigration law.”

In the category of Best Legal Papers, Reports, or eBooks of 2024, the judges recognized the new book Decoding the Court: Legal Data Insights from the Supreme Court of Canada.

Edited by Professors Wolfgang Alschner, Vanessa MacDonnell, and Justice Carissima Mathen, this new work combines state-of-the-art legal data analytics with in-depth doctrinal analysis to study the Supreme Court of Canada, making it possible to investigate thousands of judicial decisions. Other Faculty contributors were Visiting Professor Stephen Bindman and Professors  Amy Salyzyn and Jena McGill.
