OBA Criminal Justice PROGRAM | Original Program Date: July 28, 2020
Involvement with the criminal justice system often results in additional legal issues for accused persons, from housing and income maintenance, to family and employment matters.
On July 16th, the John Howard Society will be releasing their report Legally Bound - The Civil Legal Needs of Justice-Involved Populations (the “Report”), which is the result of their extensive research on the civil legal needs that commonly arise.
Join us to explore the impact of criminal justice participation as we unravel:
- Key findings from the Report
- How to identify the civil legal issues impacting accused persons – Critical questions to ask
- Best practices for Crown and defence counsel to mitigate the impacts for accused persons
- What resources are available to assist you and your clients?
