Another Kind of Justice is the first historical survey of Canadian military law, providing insights into military justice in Canada, the purpose of military law, and the level of legal professionalism within the Canadian military. After delving into the British roots of Canadian military law, Chris Madsen brings his discussion up to date with analysis of recent sexual discrimination cases and the Somalia inquiry.

Frontline Justice
Author: Pascal Lévesque
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 022800022X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Compared with its civilian counterpart - which struggles with delays and uncertain results - summary military justice is efficient. From offence until outcome, 90 per cent of cases are dealt with in less than ninety days. The other side of the coin is that there is no right to representation by defence counsel, no transcript produced, and no appeal to a judge. Nine times out of ten, individuals are found guilty. For service members, consequences can include fines, reductions in rank, confinement, and sentences of up to thirty days in military jail, sometimes with a criminal conviction. Addressing important gaps in legal literature, Frontline Justice sets out to examine summary justice in Canada's military and to advocate for reform. Pascal Lévesque describes the origins, purposes, and features of the summary trial system in the Canadian Armed Forces. He then analyzes the system's benefits and flaws and the challenges it faces in maintaining discipline while respecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lévesque determines that troubling aspects of the system, including the fact that lower and higher ranks are dealt with and punished differently, are clear indicators of a need for change. Criticizing current legislation, the book takes into account the latest developments in military law and jurisprudence to make concrete recommendations for an alternative model of military justice. A thought-provoking and balanced analysis, Frontline Justice seeks to remedy some of the more unfair and arcane proceedings of the Canadian military's summary trial system.

Legal Ethics and Canada's Military Lawyers

Languages : fr
Pages : 0
Book Description
French Abstract: Les avocats militaires, c'est-à-dire les avocats qui sont des officiers juridiques dans les Forces canadiennes, sont rarement mentionnés dans la doctrine canadienne. L'auteur analyse les questions de déontologie juridique les plus saillantes auxquelles les avocats militaires seraient potentiellement exposés. Plusieurs de ces questions se présentent parce que les avocats militaires, étant à la fois avocats et officiers militaires, sont ainsi confrontés à deux ensembles d'obligations qui interagissent de façon complexe. Toutefois, certaines difficultés se posent aussi en raison du contexte particulier de la pratique des avocats militaires qui pourraient, par exemple, être appelés à conseiller les commandants militaires sur le droit des conflits armés. Pour mettre cette discussion en contexte, l'auteur examine la relation entre le juge-avocat général et le ministère de la Justice ainsi que la tension qui la sous-tend. Il conclut en recommandant que les règles de déontologie et la législation régissant les Forces canadiennes soient modifiées dans le but de résoudre ces questions d'ordre éthique. Il propose par ailleurs des modifications législatives visant à clarifier la relation et à réduire la tension qui existe entre le juge-avocat général et le ministère de la Justice.
