Manage episode 319865821 series 3314114
In Part 2 of this interview, released in honour of Black History Month, Natalia Rodriguez and Joshua Sealy-Harrington continue their important discussion on systemic racism looking at examples in recent jurisprudence, including;
- R. v. Kokopenace, 2015 SCC 28, in which the Court declined to consider the disproportionate effects of the jury roll system on racialized and marginalized Canadians
- Fraser v. Canada, a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that provides some helpful language in addressing systemic barriers
- R. v. Chouhan, a Supreme Court of Canada decision on pre-emptory challenges
- They also discuss why there is so little s. 15 jurisprudence relating to race at the highest levels of our courts
