Osgoode Hall Law School Honours Former Student
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Harry Whithers, former Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School, today announced that the school's Board of Governors has unanimously agreed to rename the venerable institution in honour of former student Maxwell Beaver. Henceforth, the school that has educated many of our country's top lawyers and judges will be known as the Max Beaver School of Law.
"We have been discussing for some time, just how we could honour Max" stated Dean Whithers. "He is widely regarded as one of the great legal minds of our generation and we are proud that his name will forever be associated with our school".
Mr. Beaver, who has long been compared with such legendary figures as Justice Felix Frank'n'Furter, inexplicably abandoned a promising career in law after leaving Osgoode Hall for the last time almost thirty years ago. Rumours persist that he is planning a return to law on his 65th birthday in 2020. Mr. Beaver has steadfastly refused to comment on this speculation.
At a re-dedication ceremony this morning on the campus of York University, Mr. Beaver was characteristically enigmatic. When asked to describe what the honour meant to him, Mr. Beaver, who has lived most of the past three decades in seclusion, would only offer a terse "no comment".
Mr. Beaver's former classmate Don Moss was much more effusive in saying "I am very proud of my friend Max. This honour is long overdue. He belongs here with his peers," said Mr. Moss gesturing to a photo gallery of Canada's past and present Supreme Court Justices.
Mr. Moss was no doubt referring to a controversial incident during Mr. Beaver's years as an Osgoode student. Despite overwhelming support from the students, a movement to include Mr. Beaver's portrait in the gallery of honour was brutally crushed by the school's administration. Rumours persist that Obiter Dicta editor John Tawdry, who feared that Mr. Beaver could thwart his political ambitions, spearheaded this unpopular action. Mr. Tawdry contended that Beaver did nothing but smoke dope, skip class and wear women's underwear. "Nonsense" snorted Mr. Moss, "Tawdry just missed the point". Mr. Moss then continued with some mindless and misguided rhetoric before summing up the thoughts of everyone present, "Nobody deserves this more than Max".
Max Beaver School of Law (formerly Osgoode Hall Law School) has a long history of educating Ontario lawyers. It is located on the Downsview campus of York University. Mr. Beaver and the rest of the Grim Reapers graduated from its Bachelor of Laws program in June 1979.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law, or Penal Law, is the body of rules that govern punishments for a number of legal offenses, and is usually enforced by the government. Each state has its own set of procedures to deal with the offense, but a common characteristic is that they all deal with punishing a person?s failure to comply to set rules or laws. Depending on the offense committed, these punishments can range from execution, to parole or probation, to a simple fine.

VoIP Is It Legal?
I have been in telecom for 12 years and for 12 years I have spoken to my mom at least once a week if not more. She always asks me how is work? Are you still doing that little telephone thing? About six months ago she called me up because she had heard something that may be of interest to me on her talk radio program earlier that morning. She did not want to forget to ask me about it so she wrote it down, (my mom will not call before 5 because she still believes the calling rates go down in half after 5), but she can?t seem to find the paper she just had in her hands- she asked if I could hold a minute. After I hear the rotary phone hit the counter and a bunch papers rustling- she gets back on the phone with her revelation. She is going to s...
