Season 7 · Episode 121

Judicial independence is essential to democracy and the rule of law. But how can judges and lawyers remain independent when they face political pressure, intimidation, or attacks on their legitimacy?

In this 5th episode of the series "In the Blind Spot," the Honourable Justice Simon Ruel speaks with Margaret L. Satterthwaite, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, about the threats facing justice systems worldwide and the safeguards needed to protect them.

#120 | Magical and disappearing laws? Exploring "Unenactment"

Season 7 · Episode 120

Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 20:50

Why might a legislature pretend that it never passed a law? How might this be done? Host Lerissa Thaver speaks with Charlie Feldman about an uncommon technique in legislative drafting: deeming provisions "never to have been enacted." When has this "unenactment" occurred and why? This episode shines a light on this unusual way to draft and challenging situations legislative drafters sometimes face.

Season 7 · Episode 118

Thursday, June 18, 2026 • Duration 16:51

What happens when Canadian judges travel abroad to share their expertise — and what do they bring back?

In this episode, Christine O'Doherty (Lawyer & CIAJ's Executive Director) welcomes The Honourable Justice Carole A. Beaton (Nova Scotia Court of Appeal), to discuss her involvement in the Technical Assistance Partnership Project – Federal Judicial Affairs Canada (TAP-FJA). The two sat down together in Armenia in May 2026, on the sidelines of the mission, to record this conversation. Drawing from her exchanges with local judges and court officials, Justice Beaton reflects on the importance of judicial independence, the value of cross-jurisdictional dialogue, and Canada's role in supporting justice reform abroad. She also shares what motivates her participation in these missions and how this experience has shaped her perspective on international judicial cooperation.

A thoughtful and inspiring conversation at the intersection of judicial expertise and international cooperation.

#117 | Série Justice sans obstacles - Le langage clair : un levier d'accessibilité

Season 7 · Episode 117

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Duration 15:32

Ne pas connaître ses droits revient souvent à en être privé. Et ne pas les comprendre, c'est, au fond, se retrouver dans la même situation. Alors entre le droit et les personnes qu'il est censé protéger, une question demeure : comment rendre cette information réellement accessible?

Parmi les réponses possibles, le langage clair s'impose comme un levier d'accessibilité.

Dans cet épisode, Me Christine O'Doherty, directrice générale de l'ICAJ, s'entretient avec Élisabeth Routhier, Ph. D., directrice des projets spéciaux à l'ICAJ et experte du langage clair, pour explorer un enjeu à la croisée du social, du politique et du juridique.

Ensemble, elles décortiquent ce que signifie concrètement écrire en langage clair, la manière dont cette approche — enseignée à l'ICAJ — peut transformer les communications juridiques, ainsi que les résistances et préjugés qui persistent encore dans le milieu.

Une réflexion sur une responsabilité partagée : celle de rendre le droit réellement compréhensible et accessible à toutes et tous.

#116 | Justice Without Barriers Series - Disability, Accessibility, and the Courts

Season 7 · Episode 116

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 23:12

Universal accessibility should be the norm — so why does it remain the exception?

In this episode, Sarah Rowe, Legal Counsel at CIAJ, speaks with the Honourable Justice Joshua B. Hawkes of the Court of Appeal of Alberta about the lived realities of people with disabilities within the justice system and the legal profession.

Drawing on his own experience as a person living with a disability, Justice Hawkes reflects on the biases, institutional barriers, and day-to-day challenges faced in environments rarely designed with all realities in mind.

Together, they explore what accessibility truly means — not only in theory, but in practice — and consider how lived experience can reshape our understanding of inclusion, equity, and the role of institutions.

About the Technical Assistance Partnership
Project (TAP):

Global Affairs Canada's Technical Assistance Partnership Project (TAP), is designed to deploy Canadian experts from a range of disciplines to provide technical assistance to developing countries. The Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs (FJA) is one of the Canadian government agencies with an international development project under TAP. Under TAP, FJA engages with up to three countries per year for a one-year program of capacity building for judicial institutions. This mechanism allows Canada to use the experience in our judicial system to respond to requests for technical assistance made through Canadian missions abroad. Technical assistance is provided in response to needs expressed by partner countries, but in alignment with Canada's international development priorities, including the strengthening of gender equality and the protection of human rights.

L'IA s'invite désormais dans les salles d'audience et les cabinets d'avocats. Mais comment fonctionne-t-elle réellement ? Quels sont ses usages concrets, de la recherche juridique à la gestion documentaire ? Peut-elle améliorer l'accès à la justice ou créera-t-elle de nouvelles inégalités ?

#113 | Left Out in the Cold – Episode 4: Putting "Housing First" in Finland

Season 5 · Episode 113

Thursday, December 4, 2025 • Duration 33:25

Finland, renowned for being the happiest country in the world, has addressed homelessness head-on through a human rights-based approach to housing. Under the Finnish "Housing First" approach, everyone is entitled to a settled place to live, regardless of life circumstances. This system moves away from the goal of making people experiencing homelessness "housing ready," and toward supportive housing units with normal leases and tenancy agreements.

In the fourth episode of this series, host Sarah Rowe is joined by Juha Kahila, Head of International Affairs at Y-Foundation, one of the key national developers of the Housing First principle in Finland. Juha explains why his country chose to adopt this approach, how their housing services provide dignified support to residents, and what other jurisdictions can do to decrease the rate and severity of homelessness in their population.

#112 | Left Out in the Cold – Episode 3: Housing Available But Not Accessible

Season 6 · Episode 112

Saturday, November 22, 2025 • Duration 01:04:46

Guaranteeing the right to housing on its own misses a key overlapping concern: whether the housing is actually accessible. Despite the federal government's goal of achieving a barrier-free Canada by 2040, many people continue to face barriers in securing housing that meets their accessibility needs and are twice as likely to live in core housing need.

In the third episode of this series, host Sarah Rowe is joined by Marie-Josée Houle, Canada's first Federal Housing Advocate, and Stephanie Chipeur, who holds the Azrieli Accelerator Professorship in Law & Disability Policy at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Law and the School of Public Policy. Together, they discuss the right to adequate housing that is accessible, adaptable, and visitable for people with disabilities, seniors, and other equity-deserving groups.
