OTTAWA—This is what brawls look like on the top court bench. Judges don’t throw off their robes and come to blows. What they do — judicial jousting — is more subtle. Split rulings. Lengthy dissenting opinions. Constitutional decisions that see judges split not only into two groups, but sometimes going three or four different ways. Wary court watchers are now wondering if the Supreme Court of Canada is as divided or as polarized as the rest of us. Since becoming prime minister in 2015, Justin Trudeau has named three new judges to the country’s top court, and elevated Justice Richard Wagner to the post of Chief Justice. In that time, the nine-member Supreme Court of Canada has turned into an unruly crew. Outwardly, they are friendly, collegial and professional. But a look at their rulings — as legal scholars and lawyers are increasingly pointing out — shows a judicial team “of equals” that is struggling to find its voice as Canada’s top court. When the latest rookie, … [Read more...] about Judicial jousting emerges at Supreme Court of Canada

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot 's final DLC has been revealed, and after two episodes dedicated to storylines from the Dragon Ball Super anime series, this latest chapter of content is headed back in time to one of the franchise's classic original video animations. DLC 3 will take place in the future alternate timeline of the Android saga, set 13 years after Goku died from a heart virus and the rest of the anime's best fighters--and Yamcha--were killed by Androids 17 and 18.

The cinematic trailer didn't reveal too much, but if it faithfully follows the storyline of the OVA, then it's best to not get too attached to seeing an adult Gohan battling the Androids while his protégé Trunks watches on. You can see the trailer below from Bandai Namco's Dragon Battle Hour event, embedded below at around one hour and four minutes … [Read more...] about Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s Final Story DLC Is Trunks: The Warrior Of Hope
