C is for cookies and Christmas!
This post is brought to you by the letter
The cookie making season is upon us and Guerrero Law is not one to fall behind. The office will soon be full of plates of cookies to share with those around us. Why hog all the calories?!
Take a look at what's happening so far...

Can you guess what kind of cookies we're making?

| The base of each one of our creations. |
 |
| We'll start with these as they are the easiest. |
 |
| Second will be these, but I think we'll have to make double the amount since they are gobbled up quickly! |
 |
| For now we'll only make 3 kinds so this will be the last. |
Cakes will follow another day. One can only handle so much baking (and sampling) in one day!

Who said lawyers are boring?
A flash mob is defined by Wikipedia as "a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse." And that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 in downtown Toronto.
The 48 dancers have been practising for weeks! At first people didn’t know what to make of the sudden music and movement, but as more Blakes dancers put on their red baseball caps and joined in, people got into the spirit of the season and many onlookers started to dance too.
The Blakes articling students first performed their dance at the Firm’s office party in Toronto on December 2, 2010. It was such a success, they decided to spread the cheer and perform it for a second time in public.
"We just wanted to have some fun," said Kari Abrams, Director of Student Recruitment & Development at the law firm. "Everybody has been working so hard, it was really great to be part of something so creative and make people smile."

Families Will Benefit From Justice Improvements
December 9, 2010 9:30 AM
McGuinty Government Making Legal System More Affordable And Straightforward
Affordable, faster and less confrontational — that's the new direction for family law in Ontario.
By next summer, families across the province will have access to improved services through Ontario's courts.
Ontario is increasing access to justice by expanding valuable services to all court locations. Families will soon have access to:
- The Mandatory Information Program that offers more options for families experiencing breakdown and helps them learn about the effects of separation and divorce.
- The Family Mediation Service that helps families identify challenges and work out solutions outside the courtroom, which saves parents money.
- Information and Referral Coordinators who will refer families to community agencies that can help them resolve challenges earlier and at less cost.
The new approach to settling family disputes will help more Ontario families avoid the courtroom in favour of an early, affordable, out-of-court resolution.
This is part of the government's Open Ontario plan to make the family justice system more straightforward, focused and affordable, and to provide accessible and consistent family justice services for all Ontarians.
