"Off the Record" - Launch Day

Welcome to Off the Record, a digital space where the world of law intersects with the unique chapters of my life. I'm Sehmani Leo, your legal guide and storyteller, ready to embark on a journey that navigates the intricacies of the legal landscape while sharing the personal tales that shape my perspective.

About Me:

A Toronto native with a Jamaican background and a seasoned legal professional with 16 years of experience, I've witnessed the dynamic nature of the legal realm firsthand. From the courtroom to behind-the-scenes in the criminal law space and community-based supports, my career has been a tapestry of challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons. I am not your average legal professional - I was a young mother who needed to navigate supports and challenges on my own and realized I was meant to be a legal advocate and fell inlove with making a change. But this blog isn't just about statutes and case law—it's about the human side of the law, and the experiences that have molded me into the person I am today.

Legal Insights:

Expect thought-provoking articles that demystify legal jargon, explore landmark cases, and offer practical advice (not legal advice, so please formally consult with us please :). Whether you're a seasoned legal professional, a law student, or someone with a general interest in the legal system, Off the Record aims to be a beacon of clarity in the complex world of law.

What's Coming Up:

In the coming weeks, we'll delve into a series on legal technology and the connection with access to justice and legal practice. This series will provide in-depth analysis, real-world examples, engagement, and actionable takeaways. Additionally, I'll be sharing personal anecdotes, reflections on the evolving legal landscape, and the occasional behind-the-scenes look into the life of a legal professional.

So, join me on this adventure as we unravel the legal intricacies, explore the human stories behind the cases, and connect on a personal level. Your legal journey begins here at Off the Record. This space will be one of engagement and education.

BONUS:

I love movies! On every last Friday of the month, I will be sharing well known, favourite court/legal dilemma scenes and will pose a legal question to gain insight on what legal professionals have to say!
