Ask-Me-Anything: Sentencing Law

<p>In our Ask-Me-Anything segment with Jonathan Rudin (program director of Aboriginal Legal Services), we cover the questions from members of the Lawyered Patreon community:<br /> <br /> 🔵  How the criminal justice system has addressed the sentencing of Aboriginal persons, post-<em>Gladue</em>?<br /> 🔵  Will Bill C-22 (which would repeal mandatory minimums for drug offences) represent a shift towards repealing mandatory minimums on a wholesale basis?<br /> 🔵  How has the Truth in Sentencing Act (Bill C-25) impacted the role of pre-trial custody?<br /> 🔵  What are some factors that would influence whether a convicted person ought to receive an incarceration offence as opposed to a fine?<br /> 🔵  Do you think that any of s. 718 Criminal Code sentencing factors are/should be more determinative than others in sentencing decisions?<br /> <br /> <span style="color: #2880b9;">Learn more about sentencing law on the <strong><a style="color: #2880b9;" href= "http://www.lawyeredpodcast.com/"><u>Lawyered website</u></a></strong></span><br /> <span style="color: #2880b9;">Help to declutter the law on the <strong><a style="color: #2880b9;" href= "http://www.lawyeredpodcast.com/patron"><u>Lawyered crowdfunding page</u></a></strong></span><br /> <br /></p>
