Why Me?

I’m just a guy who cares about access to civil justice in Ontario. I know a little bit about it from my day job, which includes ten years of teaching and writing about civil procedure and access to justice.

I think that public policy should be evidence-based, and should take seriously the interests of everyone who is affected by it.

Big changes are necessary to restore access to civil justice in Ontario. But if the Civil Rules Review process is rushed, and lacks the necessary evidence, it could easily do more harm than good.
