A Scoping Review on the Use of Experiential Learning in Professional Education on Intimate Partner Violence
Developing Virtual Gaming Simulations to Promote Interdisciplinary Learning in Addressing Intimate Partner and Gender-Based Violence
Gender-based violence (GBV) is global issue, requiring specialized knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The most effective responses are interdisciplinary, involving social work, healthcare, and the justice system. While GBV was exacerbated during the pandemic, many students faced a reduced availability of practice opportunities to learn how to respond to GBV. The authors describe a teaching and learning project which expanded access to experiential…
Impact of the Feminist Judgment Writing Projects
The first feminist judgment writing project, the Women's Court of Canada (WCC), published its initial set of judgments ten years ago in 2008. Although the WCC has led to feminist judgment projects in several other jurisdictions, research shows that the WCC judgments have not been cited very extensively by other academics, let alone by courts, tribunals or lawyers. This article explores whether this lack of citations is cause for concern, raises s…
Specialised domestic violence courts in Canada and the United States
This paper reviews the response of specialised domestic violence courts in Canada and the United States to contact disputes where there are allegations of domestic violence. It begins with a discussion of legal reforms responding to domestic violence in Canada and the United States, including the different types of DV courts and their rationales, key features, merits and drawbacks. Evaluations of Integrated DV courts in the United States and Cana…
R v JA
This Women's Court of Canada judgment considers the issue of whether parties can consent in advance to sexual activity that will occur while they are asleep or unconscious. The Supreme Court of Canada's 2011 ruling in R v JA generated critique and debate among feminist and law and sexuality scholars that pitted women's equality and security interests against their affirmative sexual autonomy. The Women's Court judgment analyzes whether it is poss…
Alberta v Hutterian Brethren of Wilson Colony
In Alberta v Hutterian Brethren of Wilson Colony, a majority of the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the claim of members of the Wilson Colony that Alberta's requirement for photographs on driver's licences unjustifiably violated their rights under section 2(a) and 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. This Women's Court of Canada judgment focuses on the equality rights challenge under section 15(1), which was given short shrift b…
The Supreme Court, Ameliorative Programs, and Disability
Les récentes décisions de la Cour suprême du Canada relatives au paragraphe 15 (2) de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés soulèvent des craintes quant aux droits à l'égalité des personnes handicapées. Bien que l'arrêt R. c. Kapp ait donné une force autonome à la protection des programmes améliorateurs, favorisant ainsi une égalité réelle, l'arrêt Alberta (Affaires autochtones et Développement du Nord) c. Cunningham a accordé beaucoup de c…

Courting Confusion? Three Recent Alberta Cases on Equality Rights Post-Kapp
This article examines current confusion surrounding how courts are to analyze challenges brought under s. 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The authors begin with a review of the 2008 Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Kapp, which gave s. 15(2) independent status to shield ameliorative laws, programs, and activities from the finding of discrimination, but left the application of s. 15(1) unclear. The authors then articulat…
