Is Allen Mendelsohn a Good Lawyer?

Allen
Mendelsohn
is me.
I am a lawyer specializing in internet law working out of Montreal, though sometimes I do it in front of the U.S. Capitol. That should tell you what you need to know about internet law in Canada. I also warp young legal minds at the Faculty of Law at McGill.

Yeah, this pic AGAIN. So much irony.
You know a couple of years ago I publicly swore I would post every month. And I was good. For a while. But in my head the real rule was always “you can never go a year without posting”. [/checks date of last post]. Whew, that was close.
Today is the day privacy law changes forever. Srsly!
Are you a business in Quebec? Or even in Canada? Are you a person in Quebec? Well have I got news for you!
It’s a Friday Internet Law News Dump!
As we head into the Canada Day long weekend, I had nothing really big I wanted to write about, but a handful of little things. Thus, the Friday Internet Law News Dump was born. Is it reminiscent of another quickie type of post I used to write in another life? Maybe. Is it an easy way to avoid paying off bets of scotch to certain individuals? Shut up.
