I have to confess that although it was wildly popular, I wasn’t excited about judges fundraising for Movember.  But my instinct was just that – an uninformed opinion.  Thanks to Stephen Pitel and Michal Malecki I can marshal reasonable arguments in favour of my position (and anticipate the contrary-minded).  Check out “Judicial Fundraising in Canada”.  It’s typical of Stephen’s great work in the area of legal ethics – thoughtful, thorough, and helpful.
