Panel B: Constituting Courts - Principles from the Criminal Cases | 25th Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

Speakers on this panel will examine a set of criminal law cases decided in 2021 that offer important general lessons for how we think about the role and powers of adjudicators. Taking up a case examining appeal provisions for accused youth through the lens of section 15(1) [R v CP], the Court’s assessment of provisions controversially aimed at racial bias on juries [R v Chouhan], and a case of overlooked significance addressing the nature and temporal effect of suspended declarations of invalidity [R v Albashir], this panel is about the Court’s constitutional assessment of the criminal process itself, with key doctrinal takeaways for constitutional reflection at large. 4:53 Lisa Kelly, Queen’s Law Judging Youth Time 21:31 Joshua Sealy-Harrington, Lincoln Alexander Law School 37:18 Anne M Turley, Senior General Counsel, National Litigation Sector & Zoe Oxaal, Senior Counsel, Civil Litigation Section, Department of Justice The Significance of R v Albashirin the Evolution of Constitutional Remedies Chair: Benjamin Berger, Osgoode Hall Law School This event was recorded on Friday, April 1, 2022 Hosted by Osgoode Hall Law School Sponsored by LexisNexis and Osgoode Professional Developmen
