Ron Daniels

An open letter to the students at U of T Law:

For those of you who may have forgotten, or may even be too young to remember, it is time we all took a break from exams and the holidays and spend a few minutes to remember our history; to remember why our venerable institution is so venerable. Yes, it is time for us to pay tribute to the great Ron Daniels. A bolder spirit U of T has never known.

No, he may not have had muffins, but Ron Daniels was a trailblazer. He saw beyond academia, beyond education, and even beyond skills training, to the greater glories of fat, fat Bay Street jobs. More than that, Ron Daniels was a visionary; he had the foresight to dream of a better life for U of T students, in a distant land called America….

But even as his bold vision set a course to international recognition and material success, Ron Daniels was a champion of the poor. His vision extended to DLS. To solidify our international glory he was instrumental in providing legal services to the poor. Although he probably didn’t give a damn about the poor, the invisible hand of Ron Daniels helped the homeless avoid jay-walking tickets and ensured that the K-Feds of Toronto would have their sentences downgraded to house arrest. Call it the trickle down effect. As a man only marginally lesser than Daniels, John F. Kennedy, once said, “a rising tide lifts all boats.”

Ron Daniels, thank you for the rising the tide our school still rides. We wait patiently for your return and the subsequent establishment of a thousand semester golden age at U of T Law.

The authors of the U of T Ron Daniels society have prepared a by no means comprehensive list of facts about Ron Daniels. We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable.

Just wondering if you are going to get in on the blogging about the Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell case. Since S&C recruits at U of T, it seems to be an ideal topic for you. See: http://www.abovethelaw.com/aaron_charney/

Hey you Law nerds, what's new with the whole "Downtown Law Services" saga that unfolded last term? Has dean Moran ironed things out, and is everyone there "have big party!" now?
