Justice by Design

June 2, 2015 by Lorne Sossin

Has our justice system developed as a series of ad hoc measures, policies and programs or has it been designed according to a planned vision? This question is being asked more broadly in Law Schools as legal academics and lawyers bring design principles to the question of where and how people access justice. It is a question which may lead to surprising, disruptive and absolutely necessary answers.

Lorne Sossin is the Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School and an IP Osgoode advisory board member.

Renovating Our Justice System: The Great Design Challenge

June 2, 2015 by Paul Di Libero

“Justice” and “design” are two words that you don’t often hear in the same sentence. So when we announced the Justice Design Project (JDP) – a week long workshop for post secondary students interested in law, design and access to justice – we knew some eyebrows would be raised and heads scratched. What could design possibly have to do with justice? Who in their right mind would pair such strange bedfellows?

Breaking-up Bad: Is Copyright the Best Tool to Fight Revenge Porn?

June 2, 2015 by Jacquilynne Schlesier

Ugly break-ups are nothing new, but selfies, sexting and social media have opened a new avenue for exes to punish each other. When one ex keeps nude or sexually explicit photos of the other and publishes them to the internet or to their mutual contacts on social media, they create “revenge porn.”

Ain't No Laurent Without Some Irony: Hedi Slimane and the Rise of Parody Fashion

June 2, 2015 by Aicha Tohry

Some may say that there is no Laurent without Yves, but Hedi Slimane is definitely not one of them. Luxury Goods International (LGI), the owner of Saint Laurent Paris’ trademarks, is suing Jeanine Heller, founder of What About Yves, for trademark infringement, trademark dilution, false designation of origin and unfair competition. Her parody t-shirts had already gotten her into some trouble with Chanel in the past (the two parties recently came to a settlement), but the company’s dispute with Slimane seems to be particularly filled with animosity.
