I suspect many of you won’t get the reference. I’m not sure I would either if it wasn’t for a well-timed radio appearance by a song I kind of liked 30 years ago.

The short story: I wanted a blog to share my thoughts on the law and legal profession, I realistically can only write one post a week, and Friday allows me a bit of time to put it all together. ‘Friday I’m in Love’ by The Cure came on the radio as I was pondering the above and there you have it. And the lyrics perfectly illustrate a normal week for us in this profession or perhaps the resiliency needed to keep at it:

I don’t care if Monday’s black

Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack

Thursday never looking back

It’s Friday, I’m in law!

Long(er) story: For some time I’ve wanted to have a blog again. I was part of the Law Society of Saskatchewan Library team who created the little blog that could, Legal Sourcery, in 2014. After winning the Canadian Law Blog Award (Clawbie) for Best Canadian Law Library Blog three times, Legal Sourcery was inducted into the Clawbie Hall of Fame in 2019. I’ve missed having an outlet to share my thoughts on a profession struggling with the desire to innovate and yet hold onto tradition. I foresee a post comparing this struggle to ‘Fiddler on the Roof’….

Stay tuned for weekly musings on how we practice the law, regulate the law and provide access to the law. Who am I to comment? I’m just a girl, standing in front of a reading audience, asking them to enjoy the weekly ride.
