Ahoy there!
Welcome to the first post on my blog.
First off, who am I?
I am a former sailor with the Royal Canadian Navy, who is now completing a Master of International Law thesis. More will be revealed and added to the About page in time.
What is the blog about?
This blog is my attempt to share my research, commentary, and opinion on issues regarding the subject of law.
Yes, this will be primarily an academic blog. When researching how to research, the idea of blogging came up. Several articles and videos inspired me to start a blog for myself.
Okay, gotcha, an academic blog about law… what will it be about?
There is so much about this topic that interests me – it can be hard to narrow down. My favourite topics when it comes to international law are Law of the Sea, Maritime Law, and International Criminal Law. Regarding the sea, most of my content will probably be geared to that.
There is no limit to what I will discuss, including legal philosophy, legal history, judicial interpretation, EU law, etc.
The posts will come from a variety of sources:
- Case Discussion
- Law Discussion
- Book Review
- Movie Review
- Whatever else
I hope to tie this with my YouTube channel (which is created but without content).
On commenting…
Please be respectful, critical, and try to further the discussion. This blog is about sharing my passion for law and also a chance to keep learning.
I reserve the right to be wrong and to be able to change my stance. My goal is to be as objective as possible, especially in case discussions. Book and movie reviews will be full of my subjective opinion.
Please feel free to e-mail me through the contact form with any comments, suggestions or questions.
Thanks for reading,
Northern Jurist
