SUMMARY:Sentencing Guidance in Canada: Conceptual Trends and Practical Problems
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will examine the Canadian approach to sentencing guidance (both legislative and appellate) as it has shaped up in recent years. The first part of the webinar will be more conceptual and historical\, exploring the uniqueness of the Canadian approach\, in comparative perspective\, and examining the idea of “individualized proportionality”\, which has developed as the guiding concept in the jurisprudence over the last 20 years. The second part of the webinar will turn to certain practical problems and issues that are in tension with this overall conceptual trend\, notably the role of starting points\, sentencing ranges\, and the interpretation of legislative “signals”. Building on the presenter’s current research\, attendees will be presented with an argument about the recalibration of sentencing ranges that appears available\, but has not yet been tested in courts.\n\n\nThis is the eighth webinar in the Criminal Law Scholar Series hosted by the Criminal Defense Advocacy Society and Courthouse Libraries BC. \nParticipants may claim 1.5 hours of CPD with LSBC. \nPresenter: Benjamin Berger\, Professor & York Research Chair in Pluralism and Public Law \nModerator: Tamara Levy\, KC \n\n\n\n4:30 PM (Vancouver)

SUMMARY:Newfoundland and Labrador Historical Society Lecture: The Mysterious Lambert de Boilieu by Robin McGrath 
DESCRIPTION:Please join us online on Thursday\, March 30 at 7:30 p.m. (7:00 p.m. ADT) for this month’s NLHS lecture: \nThe Mysterious Lambert de Boilieu by Robin McGrath  \nRecollection of Labrador Life was first published in England in 1861 by Lambert de Boilieu\, then reprinted with editing and notes by Thomas F. Bredin by Ryerson Press in 1969. The work has been widely accepted as a memoir of life at Battle Harbour in the 1850s\, and is frequently cited in popular and academic articles. However\, research about the book and its author clearly indicated that no such person as de Boilieu existed by that name\, and many of the events described could not have happened in the 1850s\, if at all. Using various documents\, including court records\, Dr. Robin McGrath makes a tentative identification of the true author of the book and attempts to clarify his motivations for presenting fiction as fact. \nPlease register through this link: http://bit.ly/3ZFvQ7P   \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email with the link to the lecture. \nPresented by the Newfoundland & Labrador Historical Society \nUli Brown\nOffice Manager\nNewfoundland and Labrador Historical Society\nP.O.
