He was the defence lawyer of Kevin Morris, a Black man who was convicted of various firearms offences. Mirza filed two racial context reports about Morris and Black people as evidence, and the judge emphatically agreed to consider them. On appeal, the Ontario Court of Appeal made racial considerations in sentencing the province-wide rule in 2021.
