The 2025 Clawbie Awards mark the 20th consecutive year in which a panel of judges has selected a small number of Canadian online legal entities to receive a Canadian Law Blog Award. The Slaw All Star recognition was introduced to acknowledge the sustained and influential work of regular Slaw columnists.
The distinction highlights Dr. Salyzyn’s long-standing contributions to Slaw, Canada’s online legal magazine as “one of Canada’s leading voices tracking the intersection of ethics, AI, and law practice standards.” Over more than a decade of regular authorship, her writing has paid attention to the growing influence of artificial intelligence on legal practice standards and its implications for legal ethics.
Dr. Amy Salyzyn is a Faculty member at the Centre for Law, Technology and Society, and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, Common Law Section at the University of Ottawa. Her expertise includes legal ethics, lawyer regulation, the use of technology in legal services, and access to justice.
Dr. Salyzyn long-standing engagement with Slaw reflects the Centre’s broader commitment to contributing to a more ethical, inclusive, and forward-looking technological future in an increasingly digital society. Her work contributes to ongoing discussions about the ethical and legal implications of emerging technologies in Canada and beyond.
Additional information about the 2025 Clawbie Awards is available on the Clawbie website.
Congratulations to Dr. Amy Salyzyn!
