Join Elaine Craig of the Schulich School of Law and Cressida Heyes of the University of Alberta for a discussion on Sexual Assault Law and Policy, including the role of judges and lawyers and the challenges presented by unconscious victims. Elaine Craig is the author of recently published Putting Trials on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession.
In pursuit of trial practices that are less harmful to sexual assault complainants as well as survivors of sexual violence more broadly, Putting Trials on Trial makes serious, substantiated, and necessary claims about the ethical and cultural failures of the Canadian legal profession. In a thorough evaluation of the legal culture and courtroom practices prevalent in sexual assault prosecutions, Elaine Craig provides an even-handed account of the ways in which the legal profession unnecessarily - and sometimes unlawfully - contributes to the trauma and re-victimization experienced by those who testify as sexual assault complainants.
This event is sponsored by The Faculty of Law, McGill-Queen's University Press, the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services, Calgary Women Studying Law Association, and The Consent Project.
