Elaine Craig will present her new book, Putting Trials on Trial: Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession, in a panel discussion at the 2018 CBA-FLSC Ethics Forum.
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.
THE PANEL
The panel will consider Craig's assessment and the ethical challenges it identifies for Canadian lawyers and judges.
