The legal community has been shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Donald Brenner, Q.C. The former Chief Justice had a distinguished career as a lawyer and judge and we remember him fondly for the wisdom and equanimity he brought to the problems we presented him with, both as a judge and, more recently, as a mediator. He was kind and unfailingly polite and will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
