What even... is this out of personal interest? -

You do realize that you're asking people to conduct an extensive historical legal analysis that would take many hours for free and that this isn't stuff that anyone can just answer off the top of their head, right? Nobody is going to give you answers to this. -

Given that defendants are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, and that a preliminary hearing might not lead to a trial, for example because of a lack of evidence, but in this case because the preliminary hearing was halted, could/should the court have issued a publication ban? One of the lawyers complained bitterly that the major dailies were declaring their clients guilty, in what he called a media trial. He brought samples of the offending newspaper articles to court and asked the court to put a stop to it. He doesn't appear to have specifically asked for a publication ban, but the court rebuffed him in a way that suggested there was nothing that he or the court could do. Could the court have acted on its own initiative? Could the lawyer have requested a publication ban? -

In 1940, under the Defence of Canada Regulations (War Measures Act), on what basis could warrants be issued to search and seize property, and to arrest individuals? Were the provisions of Defence of Canada Regulations sufficient, on the face of the warrant, to execute such warrant, or were more substantial elements needed behind the warrants, e.g. evidence such as documents (anti-war pamphlets, for example), affidavits of suspected wrongdoing? Wouldn’t there have to be reasonable or probable cause? In the present case, it seems that raids took place first, across Canada, and people were arrested a few days later. However, given that the preliminary hearing of these people wasa asborted (descrcibed in my first post above) and did not resume after the war and that the Chief Justice felt that these people were discharged of the charges, and given that the Crown laid no further charges, it seems that there was no evidence on which to base the charges. If so, what evidence, if any, had to have been used to lay the charges under the DOCR? -

In 1940, under the Defence of Canada Regulations, was it possible to legally arrest Canadians residing in provinces other than Quebec and transport them to Montreal to stand trial as a group with individuals charged in Quebec? This actually happened. I wonder how the Court of Sessions of the Peace in Montreal could have jurisdiction over people brought in from another province. -

Your chances for the 1L and 2L recruit are definitely going to be hurt by your 1L grades. BUT it's not the end of the world. Some students don't get legal jobs during their law school summers but manage to get articling positions and overcome it. Like LMP said, just focus on figuring out why your grades were bad and create a plan on how to do better during 2L and 3L. If you're able to improve, you'll be fine. Maybe reach out to your professors or even other students to discuss how to improve.
