As you would expect. In a magazine
For lawyers. By lawyers

Let's see who bullied you into giving up journalistic integrity

And if course they folded
The article did not reflect the views of the magazine they said

And here is the cowardly letter that @CanLawMag sent Shadin Farsai
Do they only publish opinion pieces where they share the views.
So no opinion pieces which ever disagree with each other ??
