Aboriginal rights defences in Canada

Postby admin » Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:04 pm

The Legal Servies Society

Preparing an Aboriginal Rights Case — An Overview for Defence Counsel
is a new online resource for lawyers interested in taking on an Aboriginal rights case.

This booklet is for counsel assisting clients with legal proceedings where an
Aboriginal right is raised as a defence.

http://www.legalaid.bc.ca/assets/lawyer ... tsCase.pdf

"This booklet provides defence counsel who have an Aboriginal rights legal
aid referral with an overview of the leading case law, as well as a general guide
to the issues and the process — whether the matter is resolved through trial,
by a restorative justice solution without a guilty plea, or through a guilty plea
and sentencing.

It is hoped that this booklet will encourage more lawyers
to agree to take on these interesting and challenging cases on behalf of
Aboriginal people who might otherwise have no viable means to defend their
inherent right to engage in activities that fall within the protection of the
highest law of the land."
