In our Ask-Me-Anything segment with Jonathan Rudin (program director of Aboriginal Legal Services), we cover the questions from members of the Lawyered Patreon community:
🔵 How the criminal justice system has addressed the sentencing of Aboriginal persons, post-Gladue?
🔵 Will Bill C-22 (which would repeal mandatory minimums for drug offences) represent a shift towards repealing mandatory minimums on a wholesale basis?
🔵 How has the Truth in Sentencing Act (Bill C-25) impacted the role of pre-trial custody?
🔵 What are some factors that would influence whether a convicted person ought to receive an incarceration offence as opposed to a fine?
🔵 Do you think that any of s. 718 Criminal Code sentencing factors are/should be more determinative than others in sentencing decisions?
