Philip Slayton is a retired lawyer who once clerked for the Supreme Court of Canada. He is also an author, and his book “Lawyers Gone Bad: Money, Sex and Madness in Canada’s Legal Profession” was a hit. His most recent effort was “Mighty Judgment: How the Supreme Court of Canada Runs Your Life.” The book tells just that: how the Supreme Court affects day-to-day living in Canada. However it also brings up the political issues attached the position, and explains that Supreme Court judges are politicians who are not voted into office and can’t be voted out. WatchMojo.com was lucky enough to speak with Slayton about his book, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
WatchMojo - Your book is called “Mighty Judgment: How the Supreme Court of Canada Runs Your Life.” Most of us probably do not know how the Supreme Court affects our day-to-day lives: can you explain to us its role? continue reading...

Conflict began in early 2006, when a group of protesters from a Six Nations reserve prevented workers from continuing construction on a residential development. This land dispute in Caledonia, Ontario persisted and worsened, and award-winning journalist Christie Blatchford was there to observe and report every step of the way. The result is her book, “Helpless: Caledonia’s Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy, and How the Law Failed All of Us.” WatchMojo was lucky enough to speak with Blatchford about her book, and to find out her take on the public’s reaction.
