About MuslimLegal.ca
MuslimLegal.ca is a commentary and news site that publishes original analysis of legal issues relevant to Muslims in Canada. The site describes its aim as being an informative resource that covers topics readers might not find covered elsewhere, and its contributing writers are Canadian lawyers who regularly work on matters involving Muslim clients or institutions. Posts on the site have looked at subjects most legal blogs skip, among them the contract and liability questions that come up when an imam performs an exorcism, and the compensation and employment terms offered to imams at Canadian mosques and institutions.
The site is edited by Naseer (Irfan) Syed, a barrister, solicitor, notary public and trademark agent. Syed was called to the Ontario bar in 1998, after earning an LL.B. from the University of Windsor in 1996 and a B.Sc. (Honours) in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from McMaster University in 1990. Syed's practice focuses on business law and charities and not-for-profit law, with additional work advising individuals and organizations on national security matters.
