The Canadian Lawyer team would like to apologize for the image - TopicsExpress



          

The Canadian Lawyer team would like to apologize for the image (that stereotypically potrayed Black men as menacing) on our September 2014 cover. The image (change.org/p/canadian-lawyer-magazine-take-down-the-racist-cover-of-canadian-lawyer-magazine-and-issue-an-immediate-apology?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created) was intended to reinforce the subject of the cover article — the lack of transparency in the judicial appointments process and the resulting limited diversity on the bench — but as we have heard from a number of readers, it conveyed a very different message and undermined this important discussion.
