So, episode 133 – a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should.After almost a month of inflicting harm and havoc in Ottawa, the extremist trucker protest is over. But the  lawless takeover of Canada's capital city and the dramatic police action required to restore peace were troubling tests of our democracy. The occupiers inflicted prolonged and unrelenting harm on an entire city.It seemed to take the federal government invoking the Emergencies Act to end the siege. Make no mistake, resort to the Emergencies Act is an admission of failure. A failure by the police to maintain public peace, a failure by the city and province to take the threat to our democracy and safety seriously, and a failure of federal leaders to engage in an honest discussion about the fundamental inequities in our society.But the occupation is over, and now the court cases  begin.This episode we break down Canada's bail system and take a closer look at why the leaders of the occupation, Pat King and Tamara Lich, were denied bail and remain behind bars.You can read Pat Kings bail decision herePlease visit www.ottawafund.ca to learn more about the class action lawsuit against the truckers and how you can help!You can read Michael's take on the troubling reaction to the occupation by some in the law community here: Did Canada become a police state after the protest in Ottawa?

So, episode 132 – a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should.After more than two weeks the truck protestors are still wreaking havoc in Ottawa and  the city and police have sat idly by and played footsie with extremists. So, who will step up and save the city? This episode Emilie and I speak with a very special guest, Emilie Taman! Yes, our very own Emilie is suing the truckers. Paul Champ, Emilie, and her colleagues have launched a class action lawsuit against the unvaccinated extremists.

You should.Last week the Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision in R. v. Morris, considering how  sentencing courts should take evidence of anti-Black racism into account on sentencing.

So, episode 129 – a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should.Is the federal government really fighting Indigenous kids in court? Yes, they are. And they keep losing. We chat with the amazing Anne Levesque about her work with Cindy Blackstock and the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society, who are fighting against the government's discriminatory underfunding of services for Indigenous kids. This is a fight that has been  ongoing for over a decade. Each time the Caring Society wins, the  government uses every procedural trick and avenue of appeal to avoid its responsibilities. Most recently, the Caring Society won big in the Federal Court, where the government's application for a judicial review of a landmark Human Rights Tribunal compensation order for First Nations children was dismissed (read the decision here).This is such an important case and the amazing advocates fighting for equality are heroes.

After a sexual assault victim secured a conviction against her ex-husband, she shared the court transcript with family. A judge fined the Ontario woman more than $2,000 for breaking a publication ban on her own name. We discuss the case with Colin Westman, a retired Ontario court judge in Kitchener-Waterloo; Emilie Taman, an Ottawa lawyer and co-host of the podcast The Docket; and Bekah D'Aoust, a sexual assault survivor who made the decision to have the publication ban lifted in her case.

The latest details from Ottawa on coronavirus and the flights evacuating Canadians from China. Peter Van Dusen looks at the prime minister’s trip to Africa with MPs Garnett Genuis (Conservative), Jack Harris (NDP), and Rob Oliphant (Liberal), along with Nicolas Moyer, president of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation. Senators Murray Sinclair and Pierre Dalphond join Martin Stringer on rule changes to stop the blockage of important bills in the upper chamber.

So episode 81 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show on iTunes and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right?

Join the Discord channel with this link: https://discord.gg/2TzUamZAfter a weekend at the Criminal Lawyer's conference we sat down for a bit of an update.Emilie settled her twitter lawsuit with Ottawa's mayor Jim Watson. Watson reversed his position, admitted he was wrong, and unblocked all of Ottawa.Then we move onto Andrew Scheer's justice announcement. He wants to crack down on guns and gangs and is not afraid to mislead the public and violate the Charter. So we decided to deconstruct his dishonest six-point plan.And then Michael pisses off the whole civil bar. Pro Bono Ontario is a necessary and valuable service. But funding to the tune of $500,000 has fallen through and the Ottawa and Toronto office will be forced to shut down next month. The civil bar is rightly up in arms. But if the issue is access to justice maybe civil lawyers could take a closer look at the role their high fees play in the problem.Emilie Taman on Twitter: @EmilieTamanMichael Spratt on Twitter: @msprattIf you like show spread the word.Enjoy

It is like deja vu all over again as The Docket Podcast returns to an episode-by-episode examination of a real life crime docu-series. Only this time its all about The Staircase instead of Making A Murderer.In December 2001, novelist Michael Peterson called 911 to report that his wife Kathleen had fallen down a narrow twisting set of stairs and died. The prosecution and police did not believe it was an accident and soon Peterson found himself charged with his wife murder. The trial that follows was one of the most bizarre, prejudicial, and high profile court cases of the century.And now the 2004 French television miniseries by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade documenting the trial of Michael Peterson is available on Netflix - with 3 new bonus episodes.Join us - criminal defence lawyer Michael Spratt and former federal prosecutor and law professor Emilie Taman - as we dissect The Staircase chapter-by-chapter. Each podcast we will break down the legal strategy, evidentiary issues, and give our opinions on the case - with a Canadian twist.In Chapter 1: Crime or Accident, we look at the role that wealth and privilege plays in Peterson's defence, discuss police tunnel vision, and give our initial impressions on the investigation. We are going to try to keep each podcast spoiler free about what follows but what quickly emerges is a story about how the presumption of innocence is constantly under attack by police and District Attorneys intent on securing a conviction at all costs. Ultimately, The Staircase is about every accused person in the United States, Canada, or anywhere. It's about what it's like to be confronted by the full resources of the State when your life hangs in the ballance.

The Supreme Court of Canada in October issued its decision in R v. Tran, a case which Peter litigated. Deanna, Peter and Steve discuss the issues that the Supreme Court addressed in this landmark decision, including whether conditional sentences are terms of imprisonment for the purposes of deportation and retrospectivity in law. This was the first of two Supreme Court cases that Peter arguedin Ottawa this year. While he was in Ottawa for the second case, he joined Michael Spratt and Emilie Taman, the creators of the Docket, a fantastic podcast about criminal law in Canada. Peter, Emilie and Michael discussed all sorts of issues regarding the intersection of immigration and criminal law, and Peter even explained how he got into practicing immigration law,

Ian’s back in Ottawa this week so we have a double-crossover episode! First up, apologies to the LGBTQ community and the new Supreme Court of Canada pick with Michael Spratt & Emilie Taman of The Docket. Then Bill Morneau death watch and secret votes on derelict vessels with The Boys in Short pants. Find The... The post Ep 64: The Docket in Short Pants Crossover appeared first on PolitiCoast.

Emilie Taman returns!  This week we talk about the Liberal government's new marijuana legislation. But it is not just pot that gets a legislative makeover.  The government has adopted the contents of an old Conservative bill that will radically change alcohol impaired driving.  We also dive into some Jordan fall out - what is the government doing about court delays? Is it really a problem - turns out maybe not.  Is the Supreme Court's Jordan decision being used as a criminal justice Trojan horse? All that and so so much more....

A very Special episode this week. The awesome Emilie Taman is running for the NDP in the soon-to-be announced federal by-election in Ottawa-Vanier. Emilie will be a fantastic member of parliament. Lets start with the obvious: she is super smart, hard working, principled, and deeply committed to justice and fairness.  But I think most importantly she is a consensus builder who makes instant connections with everyone she meets - she always makes the right decision for the right reason. In a climate of political cynicism and broken promises Emilie is exactly with our parliament needs. Last week Emilie and Louise Arbour (yes - former Supreme Court judge, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and friend of the podcast) sat down with a roomful of students from Ottawa University to talk about some really important issues: electoral reform, the vibrancy of our democracy, feminism, the environment, immigration, and the refugee crisis. It was fantastic. And I was there to recorded it. 

What happens when three lawyers try to argue with Jesse Brown?  Former trial lawyer Sandy Garossino, criminal defence counsel Michael Spratt, and federal prosecutor Emilie Taman talk about how the media should really report about the courts.  Support CANADALAND: https://canadaland.com/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
