Understanding the practical realities of Indigenous law is imperative for all lawyers. Indigenous law has come to the forefront of many cases. It’s vital that counsel educate themselves on the law in relation to Indigenous defendants.
This panel discussion will focus on the living realities facing Indigenous people in Canada and how to apply Indigenous law to those realities. In addition to experienced criminal and civil counsel, our panel members include two members of our Judiciary as we get invaluable input on how the application of the law is played out in the court system.
Our presentation will focus on the current state of living for Indigenous people in various communities, how Canada's legal history got us to this point and what is expected by the Judiciary when dealing with cases involving Indigenous people.
