The MLJ continues its mission in this Volume of “preserving the voices of distinguished jurists from this province,” and strives to publish high-quality scholarship in maintaining its standing as an exceptional law journal. Here are a couple of statistics that the MLJteam is particularly proud of from our SHRCC application this year:

• The MLJ received 7 Supreme Court of Canada citations in 2024-25.
• We are a diamond open-access journal, with content available through a CC-BY-ND creative Commons license. The MLJ is available through Alberta OJS, CanLII, Lexis Advance Quicklaw, HeinOnline, Google Play, Amazon and through com.

Overview of the latest Issues

Issue 1 is a retrospective on the career of the Honourable Chief Justice Richard Chartier. It begins with his oral history and features a series of remarks made at his retirement gala, including his own comments and those by fellow jurists, the Honourable Justice Freda Steel of the Manitoba Court of Appeal and former Chief Judge of the Provincial Court (2016-2023), Honourable Judge Margaret I. Wiebe. The issue concludes with a comprehensive analysis of Chief Justice Chartier’s jurisprudence by Court of Appeal researchers, Melanie Bueckert and Michael Rice, and a final word on the jurisprudential developments in civil procedure overseen by the Chief Justice, written by Dr. Gerard Kennedy, a former assistant professor at UM Law, currently an associate professor serving as Associate Dean of Graduate Studies at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law.

The second issue is a continuation of the MLJ’s The Current Legal Landscape series. It deploys a “range of methodologies to address some of the most fundamental issues in our legal system.” Included is an article on access to justice in Manitoba from the legal practitioners’ view by Gerard Kennedy, and UM Faculty of Law’s Director of Access to Justice & Community Engagement, Natasha Brown. The issue continues with an article co-authored by the Honourable Justice Malcolm Rowe of the Supreme Court of Canada on the role of appellate standards of review in the Canadian legal system. Justice Rowe’s article is followed by a word on lawyer incivility in family law by Deanne Sowter, a doctoral candidate at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School. It concludes with an oral history of the Honourable Chief Justice Marianne Rivoalen, the first woman to head the Manitoba judiciary.

Issue 3 is another continued project, this time furthering the Underneath the Golden Boy project on legislative development in UM’s home province. It features two articles from a recent UM Law graduate, Anna Evans-Boudreau [JD/25], on Manitoban sustainable development legislation and the complexities of working within the field of freedom of information or access to information in all three levels of government, the second of which she co-wrote with Kevin Walby, Associate Criminal Justice Professor at the University of Winnipeg. Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law assistant professor, Andrew Flavelle Martin, also provides two articles in this issue on the public perception of lawyers in public service through the lens of the hit television series, The West Wing, and on legal ethics for government lawyers in light of several provisions in the Law Society of Nunavut’s Code of Professional Conduct that are unique to that province. It concludes with an article from Dr. Ilia Roskoshnyi, a recent Postdoctoral Fellow at UM Law, on artificial intelligence and the future of the legal profession.

Robson Crim is entirely responsible for Issues 4-6 and is edited by Dr. Richard Jochelson, Dean of UM Law, and Associate Professor Brandon Trask. The Issues are comprised of 13 articles on topics ranging from a critique of the Riot Act to the reasonable expectation of privacy in the artificially intelligent surveillance state. Articles are provided by members of the Crown Prosecution services of Manitoba and Ontario, graduates from the Faculties of Law of Western University and University of New Brunswick, and professors from UM, University of Saskatchewan’s College of Law, and Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law. These contributions, whether by practitioner, student, or professor—as with submissions to all of the MLJ’s dimensions—undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process.

The seventh and final issue of Volume 47, written entirely by Alvin Esau, examines the private lives and public careers of the men who carried out capital punishment by hanging in the early 20th Century. Esau’s book follows seven of post-confederation Canada’s hangmen, detailing research that tends to show the pseudo-psychopathy, scandalous lives, and obnoxious personalities linked to the heavily stigmatized profession. It is a unique perspective on the hangmen themselves, rather than those who were hanged, authored by a true scholar in the field of Canadian true crime, which the MLJ is delighted to publish.

As always, the Executive Editors-in-Chief would like to thank the student-editorial teams at the MLJ and its Robson Crim dimension for their tireless work in ensuring Volume 47 is as academically rigorous and useful as ever. Without their exceptional support, this journal would not have been possible.

Issues of MLJ Volume 48, are currently becoming available in pre-print, and aims to continue to deliver readable and innovative legal commentary of the highest quality to communities both locally and globally.

Left to right: Associate Professor Brandon Trask, Tréchelle Bunn (3L), Assistant Professor Martine Dennie (facilitator), and Mark Wilson (3L) spoke on a panel titled Determining Intent to Injure: Potential Lessons from Law in Assessing Match Penalties in Hockey in which panelists drew from lived experiences ranging from working as a referee to playing varsity hockey to playing and coaching junior hockey. Panelists examined the relationship between the rules of ice hockey – both written and unwritten – and Canadian legal principles, with a focus on intent, provocation, and accountability. The discussion also considered hockey’s informal “code” of violence and retaliation, and whether such cultural norms should influence legal or disciplinary outcomes. The presentation concluded by asking: what is the test for intent, and how should it apply within the unique socio-cultural environment of Canadian hockey?

I do, and always will, love hockey. I’ve loved hockey and thought it to be the best sport in the world for as long as I can remember. Despite the fact—due to a more complicated relationship with the game in recent years—I no longer call myself a ‘hockey player,’ there are few things that take up more of my day-to-day thoughts than does hockey. Over the course of the Conference, I time and again attended presentations that highlighted problems with the game I loved, but more importantly, I learned about the ways these inspiring individuals were working to make the game more accessible to people of all identities. I sat and watched enlightening presentations about motherhood in sport, the revisionist history of racialized players, player attitudes toward instances of sexual assault, concussions, Indigenous excellence, hockey in residential schools, Reconciliation in sport, and even the linguistic roots of hockey slang to name only a few. Each was more interesting than the last. I was left with an overwhelming sense that sport, specifically hockey, could be the beacon of progress in making Canada a more equitable place for all.

Some people think [hockey] is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.

-Bill Shankly, OBE

Dr. Martine Dennie with keynote speaker Rick Westhead, investigative journalist for TSN and author of We Breed Lions: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture (forthcoming Nov. 2025). Having covered the 2018 sexual assault allegations against five World Junior players and Hockey Canada’s response, Westhead explores in the book, systemic issues like hazing, homophobia, and the failure of institutions to protect victims. His June 18 keynote talk covered the culture of misogyny, abuse, hazing, and silence in hockey. He discussed how the Hockey Canada incident exposes deeper problems across hockey culture, despite the eventual acquittal of the players in July 2025.

There are many things in life more important than a game. However, sport has a unique ability to highlight systemic issues that may be harder to see in other aspects of life. Further, law and policymaking can often serve as the first step in ensuring a community’s goals are met. Combining these two fields goes to show the impact that the game could gave on our society if we are to make the game welcoming to all. If hockey is Canada’s game, why can’t it lay the blueprint for inclusivity across Canadian society? Many of the speakers demonstrated to me how far we still have to go to reach a point where the sport can truly embody the NHL’s credo that “Hockey is for Everyone,” while others showed just how far we’ve come. All of them are people I’m grateful to have met.

Eugene Arcand and his wife Lorna were two of the most inspiring individuals whose names I could not, in good conscience, omit. Eugene and I spent hours together talking about his history in the game, a history that he and Bob McKenzie brought to life far better than I could on the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation website. Eugene shares the truth about his past playing hockey at a residential school and the impact it had on his life well into adulthood—I believe it’s a necessary read for any Canadian, doubly so for hockey fans.

Another individual I had the pleasure of meeting was Bernice Carnegie, the daughter of pioneering black hockey player and Hockey Hall of Famer, Herb Carnegie. Although Herb was excluded from the NHL, he worked tirelessly to ensure that no child would know the hurt he felt from being excluded, and started the first-ever hockey school that accepted people of all races and backgrounds. He never ceased that effort and wanted to transcend the barriers that prevented his NHL aspirations, emphasizing sportsmanship, respect, and diversity for all. Both Eugene and Ms. Carnegie indulged my interest in their hockey history and shared anecdotes with me that were so laden with emotion that I had to dab them from my eyes. I am beyond grateful I had the opportunity to meet these amazing people and receive a sliver of their vast knowledge.

None of the experiences I mention above would ever have been possible without the generosity of the University of Manitoba Faculty of Law, especially Dr. Dennie, Dr. Shannon Moore from the Faculty of Education at UM, Stefan Lewis and Seth Garcia, as well as the other members of the Conference committee including Dr. Cheryl MacDonald, Dr. Kristi Allain, Dr. Sarah Teetzel, Jamie Ryan, Dr. Teresa Fowler, Dr. Tim Skuce, Dr. Kyle McCallum, Dr. Jonathon Edwards, Dr. Christine O’Bonsawin, and Brent Poplawski.

I can’t wait for the next Hockey Conference in 2027!

In addition to the UM Faculty of Law, the 2025 Hockey Conference  was sponsored by the UM Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, The Desautels Centre for Private Enterprise and the Law, Saint Mary’s University, Research Manitoba, The Legal Research Institute, Taylor McCaffrey LLP, UM Faculty of Education, St. Thomas University, Hockey Winnipeg, Hockey Manitoba, OJ Graphix, The Office of the Vice-President (Indigenous) University of Manitoba, the Centre for Human Rights Research, and the Manitoba Law Foundation. Conference organizers also acknowledge support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for the Hockey Conference 2025 research magazine, which can be found online.

I watched a boatload of refugees arrive, fleeing the Arakan Army in search of safety. As they stepped onto land, several women in niqabs crumpled to the ground, overcome with emotion, gripping the rough concrete pier as tears streamed down their faces. After a few moments, they gathered themselves and pressed forward, while others discreetly diverted the attention of the Border Guard Bangladesh—who, despite the subterfuge, were surely aware that new arrivals were slipping ashore.

I recently spent a day in Teknaf, Bangladesh, speaking with locals about their experiences of the Rohingya Genocide. Teknaf, in the far southeastern corner of Bangladesh, is separated from Myanmar’s Rakhine State by the Naf River, which empties into the Bay of Bengal.

Rakhine has been the epicenter of genocidal violence, first perpetrated by the Government of Myanmar between 2016 and 2017, and later by the ethnic militia known as the Arakan Army (AA) since 2024. Nearly the entire Rohingya population of Myanmar has been forced to flee due to systematic and brutal persecution: entire villages burned to the ground, widespread sexual violence, torture, and the mass killing of tens of thousands of people.

As a Muslim minority in a predominantly Buddhist state, the Rohingya have endured decades of relentless oppression, dating back to the 1940s. They have been subjected to systemic discrimination— denied citizenship, extorted by the Myanmar Army and Arakan civilians, bullied in school, prohibited from practicing their faith, denied access to education, and conscripted for forced labor and military service. Those who resist or even voice their grievances face imprisonment, torture, or death.

I will recount what I learned on that sweltering day about this unfolding humanitarian crisis.

I chose not to approach the newly arrived refugees, knowing that the last thing they needed in that moment was an inquisitive professor. Instead, I sought out the fishermen who plied the brackish waters of the Naf River—the front lines of this unfolding genocide. I found them seated on concrete beams beneath the pier, and they agreed to speak with me.

The Fisherman

A slight, sun-wizened fisherman of 72 sat beside me in my minivan, its doors open to the heavy air. My research assistant, Shakila, leaned back in the driver’s seat, listening.

The fisherman remembers 2017 vividly. Across the Naf, he watched flames devour villages and heard the crack of gunfire. Then came the thick smoke, rising from homes reduced to ash in a single day. And finally, the bodies—drifting onto the shore in distressing numbers. He saw “hundreds,” many of them women and children.

His voice catches, as he recalls, “I stayed here the whole day.  The Myanmar military killed them and threw their bodies into the river. There were a lot of dead bodies on the riverside, and gunfire was going on over there. I came here to see what was happening.”

The shoreline there was a treacherous expanse of deep, silty mud flats, where thousands of Rohingya struggled to reach solid ground. Some arrived by boat, while younger refugees braved the low tide, swimming with desperate determination, clinging to plastic jerrycans if they had the strength.

Local Bangladeshis could not stand by in silence—they “couldn’t tolerate seeing the condition these people were in.” Women arrived unclothed, and he offered his own wife’s clothing to restore their dignity. In the months that followed, he gathered food from neighbors and cooked for the refugees. People lined the roadside, “full of hunger,” waiting for sustenance. The need was immense, and locals rushed to help, drawn by the distant, harrowing sounds of gunfire and bombing.

The sheer number of bodies washing ashore was overwhelming, so he enlisted around 300 students from the madrasa (Muslim religious school) to assist. He remembers the toll it took: “After collecting the bodies, I became senseless. I prepared the funerals and gathered clothing for them. Sometimes, we had to find funeral garments for 8–10 bodies at once. Every day, we discovered 5–6 dead.”

They worked tirelessly to provide proper Islamic burials whenever possible, but the scale of loss was staggering. Many were laid to rest in mass graves. “One day, I performed funerals for 30 people.”

His voice trembled as he spoke of the many pregnant and unclothed women who arrived in those desperate days. “We found a woman who had been raped and later became pregnant,” he recalled. “She gave birth to a baby boy, and now he is seven years old. We admitted him to an Islamic orphan school here.”

The violence against the Rohingya has not stopped. He tells me, “I saw fire a few days ago, when they burned the whole village… they have been burning villages for the past month.” Just a week before our conversation, thousands more had arrived in the area. “They survived for 18 days in the hills of Myanmar, eating tree leaves, before finally managing to reach Bangladesh.”

The Driver

A local driver told me a similar story. Many of the Rohingya that arrived in 2017 had no clothes, many “had not eaten for three days. Some had food, some were sick, and some were injured by sharp knives or gunshots. I supported them by transporting them with my jeep.”

He continues, “they told us that Arakan people beat and slaughtered them. They said their fathers and brothers were killed. When we saw their condition, we realized how much these Muslim people had suffered. They asked for our help, saying, ‘We are Muslims, and you are also Muslims. Please help and support us.’” The stories he heard about sexual violence were “unbearable.”

He saw countless bodies floating in the water, a grim testament to the scale of the tragedy. He documented what he witnessed with his phone but later deleted the photos—too painful to revisit. Yet, he remained determined to help recover and restore dignity to the dead.

“I personally put the bodies into the graves,” he said. “I collected 5, 6, or 7 bodies at a time from the riverside—young girls, children, women, and elderly people’s dead bodies, which were swollen and smelled bad. I brought them in my jeep. No one was ready to collect the bodies except me and some madrasa students. Together, we prepared the graves.”

Alongside local fishermen and others, he helped bring food and water to the refugees, most of whom had gone days without sustenance. “Alhamdulillah [praise be to God], I also took financial support from my brother who lives abroad to help the Rohingya people.”

It has become harder for the Rohingya to cross the Naf River, but they continue to flee persecution—now from the Arakan Army. Recent accounts suggest the AA is even more brutal than the Myanmar military. Those who attempt to cross do so “secretly,” as Bangladesh’s government enforces tighter restrictions.

Days prior to our interview, a boat carrying 50-60 people sank and 30 people died, including a Border Guard of Bangladesh officer who drowned while trying to save them.

The driver’s children are sometimes woken in the night by “booming sounds from Myanmar. Our land shook like an earthquake.  We could see they were burning the houses from here.”

After our interview ends, he tells me “If you had seen them in that condition, you would cry also.”

These are the stories of the Naf River—of struggle, death, courage, and compassion. Ordinary people, driven by humanity, feeding and clothing desperate refugees. Children laying the dead to rest because no one else is there to do it.

As I spoke with these shaken, elderly men, black smoke coiled into the sky from a burning village across the river.

Dr. Kjell Anderson’s areas of research focus include genocide, human rights, mass atrocities, and international criminal law. He has also written about and taught research methods in dangerous or sensitive political contexts, and qualitative interview methods. He co-wrote the book Approaching Perpetrators: Insights on Ethics, Methods, and Theory, with Dr. Erin Jessee (University of Wisconsin Press), which outlines a code of best practice when conducting research in genocide studies, transitional justice, and related fields. For past projects, he has done qualitative interviews with victims and perpetrators of mass atrocities in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Bosnia, Cambodia, India, and Iraq. Currently conducting research for his next book in Bangladesh, Dr. Anderson has shared this story to provide insights into what this kind of research entails.

Previously, Bello taught income taxation, international taxation, and contracts at the Schulich Law School at Dalhousie University where he earned his PhD in International Taxation Law and Policy. He holds an LLB (equivalent to a JD) from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, and an LLM and MBA (Finance Specialization) from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. His PhD thesis examines and proposes solutions to the ongoing debates about negotiating a global digital framework.

Bello’s research continues to monitor and evaluate the evolving discussions on the digital tax framework and how they can affect the normative values of the international tax regime. Additionally, he is interested in researching how the international tax regime connects with other aspects of the international economic law regime. He has received academic awards, including the prestigious Purdy Crawford Fellowship from the Schulich Law School.

Dr. Opeyemi Bello was happy to share some insights with the Faculty of Law community about what inspires his research program and his love of teaching – and learning from his students while they learn from him!

Law School Journey

What first inspired you to study law? 

During the early stages of my studies, I became aware of the legal system’s significant role in coordinating societal activities and fostering its growth. I observed numerous instances where people are restrained from certain actions, compelled to behave in specific ways, or allowed to express their wishes freely. When I inquired about what provides a guiding framework for people’s behaviour in the context of those instances, I learned that it is the law/legal system. I was inspired by how society adheres to the laws that it collectively creates to govern its affairs. Since then, I have decided to become part of the system that expands and develops the legal framework for the betterment of society.

How did you get interested in studying income tax law, commercial law, and labour-management relations?

My passion for business law courses has developed over the years. I grew up around lawyers who primarily practiced commercial law, which sparked my interest in law generally and, specifically, in business law courses, including those you mentioned. I am excited about the opportunity to learn these courses and now teach them at Robson Hall.

Research on Taxation and Peacemaking

Your research focus is on “the intricate political dynamics of international tax cooperation and the challenges that developing countries encounter in negotiating international tax agreements.” What are some of these dynamics and challenges?

The main issue of international tax cooperation is the effective inclusion of developing countries in designing and negotiating international tax instruments. There is a claim that these countries are not adequately represented in the negotiations that shape global tax standards and policies. Furthermore, even when included in negotiation forums, they often struggle to participate effectively. The ongoing discussions around global digital taxation illustrate how developing countries struggle to negotiate policies that favour them.

Can you see ways in which your PhD research into proposed solutions  to these challenges have had a material impact on the international tax regime?

My PhD contribution highlights the relationship between international tax and peacemaking and how the peacemaking aspect of international tax cooperation has long been neglected by the parties involved in negotiating and designing the tax regimes. This neglect contributes to the ongoing claims regarding the need for inclusion and fairness for developing countries. If we can understand peacemaking as the process of making compromises and addressing the unique needs of developing nations—and there are instances that support this interpretation of peacemaking—many challenges can be effectively resolved. I have shared some of my insights on how developing countries can participate effectively at conferences and in papers and will continue to do so.

Can you comment on Canada’s relationship with Nigeria in the context of international tax agreements? Are we doing okay? How can we improve?

Canada has a commendable tax policy toward developing countries, including Nigeria. There is a bilateral tax treaty between Canada and Nigeria that allows for some deviations from the OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] tax standards. The OECD standards can sometimes be unfavourable to developing countries. To address this issue, the UN has developed another model that aims to balance the competing interests of developed and developing nations. While most developed countries, particularly those in the OECD, adopt these OECD tax standards, Canada follows the UN tax treaty model when negotiating tax treaties with developing countries like Nigeria. This treaty enables Nigeria to exercise some taxing rights over cross-border activities between the two countries.

You arrived at Robson Hall in September: how has it been going so far?

Robson Hall is a fantastic community that supports both teaching and research. I feel fortunate to be surrounded by such dedicated faculty and staff, who have helped me settle in and continue to assist me in fulfilling my responsibilities. I am excited to be here and hope to stay for a long time. I am also grateful to the management for providing me with this opportunity.

Ancillary police powers, while not explicitly granted by statute, emerge as necessary tools for police to perform their duties effectively. These discretionary powers are often justified on pragmatic grounds but can occupy a legal grey zone, raising significant questions about their scope and alignment with constitutional principles. The book explores how these powers are employed in everyday policing contexts, such as home searches, bodily searches, temporary detentions and traffic stops, and considers their broader implications for civil liberties and systemic inequities.

“Our legal system relies on a careful balance between empowering state actors and protecting individual rights,” said Dr. Jochelson. “This book challenges conventional assumptions by examining how ancillary police powers operate in practice and underlines the importance of rethinking their role in a just society. By questioning these entrenched mechanisms, we aim to catalyze a deeper, more critical engagement with the foundations of our criminal justice system.”

The book also delves into the historical development of ancillary powers and how they are shaped by judicial interpretation, often reflecting the tension between state necessity and individual freedoms. These discussions are situated within a broader critique of the ways discretionary policing impacts marginalized communities and perpetuates systemic inequalities.

Described by UBC Press as “a sophisticated, timely, and substantive investigation,” the book is designed to appeal to academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the intersection of law and social justice.

University of Manitoba alumna Lauren Gowler [BA/18, JD/23], who recently completed her Master of Laws at Queen Mary University of London, co-authored several chapters.

Ancillary Police Powers in Canada offers a critical reevaluation of how these discretionary powers operate within the legal framework, urging readers to consider their potential for reform.

The book is available from UBC Press and is part of its Law and Society series.

“I decided to do this magazine after learning that fellow hockey scholar Dr. Courtney Szto does something similar in her Kinesiology course at Queen’s University,” Dennie explained. “I followed Courtney’s lead because I thought it was really cool that students were able to showcase their hard work with a tangible research output at the end of the course that they can share with family, friends, and employers.”

Dennie, who joined the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Law in 2021, holds a BA in law and justice from Laurentian University, a JD from the Université de Moncton, a Master of Arts in Sociology from Laurentian University, and is currently completing a PhD at the University of Calgary. Her doctoral research, funded by SSHRC and Sport Canada, is an examination of participant liability and compensation for intentionally or negligently injured hockey players.  She has published in this area with articles touching on ice hockey violence, legal complexities of sports injuries, as well as articles related to multiculturalism and ice hockey. She started teaching the Sports Law course in the winter term of 2023.

Articles included in the magazine come from class assignments that first underwent rigorous peer review of classmates. Even the reviewing was part of the coursework, with each student responsible for reviewing four to five articles written by their peers before publication in the magazine.

“I thought it would produce high quality work since they knew their magazine contributions would be made public and I can honestly say any expectations I had going in were greatly exceeded,” said Dennie. “There was a lot of excitement around this in class and so many great ideas were shared among the class that culminated into the magazine you see now.”

The project was funded through the Law Endowment Fund and the Desautels Centre for Private Enterprise and the Law to help with costs of design and printing. “I remain grateful for their support,” said Dennie.

The inaugural issue of Robson Rundown: Navigating the field of sports law is now available for download from Dennie’s sports law research blog, Sports and the Law in Canada.
