My process for poaching eggs is very simple. I boil a pot of water. I gently break an egg into a small ramekin. I lower the egg from the ramekin into the pot.

It’s not just simple in terms of the order of operations, the flow-chart for this process would be a straight line.

In 2013, I fetched a file from the crypts tucked into the back of the Ottawa federal Crown’s office. It was unimaginably dusty and some of the files, including this one, dated from the early 80s.

Hi there! However you found this page, thanks for reading. I am a graduate student studying Canadian criminal law. My research focuses on criminal procedure and especially on the routine adjudicative procedures that have gone largely overlooked for the last couple of decades. About Me Prior to being a grad student, I had a bit of a diverse career. I spent a couple of years developing software for an ecommerce company and went on to manage a team of similar-minded developers there.
