La reconnaissance du passé colonial : la perspective des avocats de la défense criminelle

This series of projects aim to highlight how criminal defence lawyers in provincial courts in Ontario and Québec take into account social and systemic factors (e.g. past and present poverty, racism, social exclusion, lack of housing, mental health and substance use supports, collateral consequences) throughout the legal process and in their practice. It intends on documenting and analyzing (1) when and how they consider and respond to social disadvantage in their professional practice, (2) strategies used to negotiate bail, diversion, and plea bargaining, (3) arguments and formal evidence used at sentencing stages and (4) collaboration with nonlegal stakeholders who contribute to legal narratives and practices.

The aim of these projects is also to better understand how local practices and perspectives have changed because of the pandemic and other intersecting issues (ex: legal aid cuts, bail directives, IRCA) have impacted your perspective and practice.
