Talk:Canadian Criminal Law/News

We're very curious about these projects of yours, and the tremendous time you have taken to prepare these wikibooks on Canadian Criminal Law topics. Are you a lawyer, and is your intended audience the public or the profession? My name is Nate, and I work with Courthouse Libraries BC if you want to connect. Please do. 209.17.147.129 (discuss) 17:35, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I'm glad that you're interested in my work. I started this as a way to keep track of specific areas of criminal law as I read about them. Writing about these areas also helped me learn much more quickly. From the outset, I saw myself as the main audience, but I hope that as it becomes more comprehensive that it will be useful to practitioners who would not otherwise have access to paid legal resources. I often encounter practitioners who are not as well versed in the law as they should be, largely due to the inaccessibility of resources and their busy schedules. I hope my work can help out some day.


 * I am a practising criminal lawyer, having been both a defence lawyer and crown attorney. For the time being I prefer not to identify myself by name for no more reason that I prefer to keep my work on this project casual and not to draw too much attention to myself. It allows me to worry a little less about spelling mistakes and disorganization, so I can focus on the aspects of writing that I enjoy most.


 * It may be at least a year or more before it will resemble anything complete, but I already find it very useful in my day-to-day work. I am certainly interested to hear about what you think about this work so far. Feel free to reach me at my email address at pullupyoursocks1@gmail.com.
