Because of the keyboard gang of autistic assholes who like to get their cocks up (perhaps the only way the can?) by abusing their ‘administrator’ status on the disinformation site known as wikipedia, we shall continue to produce a fair and unmolested list of Osgoode’s notable alumni. We should also point out that someone or some people involved at wikipedia appear to have broken the law, criminal law, by cyber-attacking us. Yes, these are the kind of fucktards we are dealing with at the disgrace that google keeps producing called wikipedia. So here is an accurate list of Osgoode Law alumni. The reader may notice that several obviously notable alumni on this list are curiously left out of any Osgoode Hall Law School lists on wikipedia. The motives for suppressing The Law School’s brand, primarily in this manner, are the subject of another entry and would likely shock many whose faith is still captured by the aura of Canadian law schools and the Canadian legal profession. In the meantime, enjoy a fair and accurate encyclopedic entry about The Law School.

Please be aware that Osgoode, like the Schulich business school, is treated very differently than a regular ‘faculty’ at York University and has a different governance relationship with the University’s administration. That’s in part because The Law School of Osgoode Hall, or Osgoode Hall Law School as it’s now more commonly called, is the oldest law school in Ontario and had already been a Canadian Institution contributing to law and Canadian history through several vectors for almost a century before York University was even created. The fact that it moved to the University to conform with the evolution of Canadian law schools as part of academia obviously cannot diminish The Law School of Osgoode Hall’s separate and unique relevance for eight decades prior. Osgoode Law traces its origins to the 1820s and, following a reorganization of the law program, was officially established in Osgoode Hall at Queen St. West in 1889. In 1965 The Law Society of Upper Canada signed an ‘agreement of affiliation’ with York University. The Law School continued to operate out of Osgoode Hall downtown and then moved its physical location to York University in 1969 in order to expand the library and graduate programs. Osgoode continues to teach some courses in its satellite campus downtown at 1 Dundas next to the original Osgoode Hall building which still houses the Law Society of Upper Canada’s headquarters, The Great Law Library, and the Ontario Court of Appeal.

This is another Osgoode alumni whose conspicuous absence from the wikipedia Osgoode lists is a reminder of the mental illness that has taken over that world, and of the bad faith circle jerks who have a strange agenda that is dear to them: to obscure Osgoode Law as much as they think they can get away with.
