To coincide with the launch of the Gladue Writer Pilot Project portal, we are pleased to offer a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar focused on the Gladue process. This seminar is designed to provide members with an in-depth understanding of how to request Gladue reports and navigate the Gladue process in our justice system.

Agenda Highlights:

Gladue Report Process: Learn about the newly launched portal, understand who is responsible for requesting reports from the courts, and get an overview of expected timelines.
Confirmation of Heritage: Learn about how heritage is confirmed in a manner that keeps access barriers low.

Gladue Information in an Open Court: Explore the use of discretion in handling Gladue information, the potential for closing the courtroom, and recent court rulings on the legal threshold for demonstrating consideration of Gladue factors.
