Obtaining a Writ of Mandamus – Addressing Extreme Delays in the Canadian Immigration System

Presented by the CBA Alberta Immigration Law South Section

On Demand. Originally presented on October 25, 2023.

Barbara Louise Jackman is a leading Canadian lawyer specializing in immigration and refugee law, with particular emphasis on appeals and judicial review applications, complex cases concerning security, medical and criminality, domestic and international human rights issues, rights and protections afforded by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Canada's responsibilities under international treaties.

Barbara has acted on behalf of parties or intervenors at all levels of Courts in Canada, including before the Supreme Court of Canada. Barbara has argued a number of precedent-setting cases concerning the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, immigration, refugee and administrative law. Most recently, she argued two appeals – both successfully – before the Supreme Court in 2018. One dealt with the right of immigration detainees to challenge the legality of their detention.

In addition to her work in the courtroom, Barbara is actively involved in law reform and has provided testimony before the Standing Committees on Citizenship and Immigration in the House of Commons and the Senate.

SPEAKER

Barbara Jackman, C.M., LL.B., LL.D. (Senior Lawyer, Founder at Jackman & Associates)
