Sentencing: Current Issues and Effective Advocacy

This 4-hour program is CPD accredited for 2h and 45m of Substantive Content and 75 minutes of Professionalism content (including 60 minutes of EDI for Ontario).Video rental period lasts 180 days.

Sentencing is our collective response to crime. Through sentencing, we strive to denounce crime, rehabilitate offenders, prevent future crime, and repair harms caused. It is a legal practitioner’s delicate task to weigh the circumstances of an offence against the offender’s moral accountability and craft proportionate sentences that instill confidence in the Canadian criminal justice system.

Join our esteemed team of defence counsel, crown counsel and judges from across Canada as they explore legal issues related to sentencing within the Canadian criminal justice system. Led by Chairs Maya Borooah (defence, Henein Hutchison Robitaille) and Erin Winocur (Crown, Ontario MAG), this program will tackle both common and unusual sentencing issues and questions, and pragmatically discuss procedure and advocacy, types of sentences, and appellate issues.

Register today and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to find creative and innovative solutions to sentencing issues in Canada’s criminal justice system. 

Presented in partnership with Emond’s award-winning Criminal Law Series.
