Bad Judgment - Revised & Updated
Un juge canadien brise le silence : découvrez le combat acharné de John Reilly pour adapter la justice aux réalités des Premières Nations.
Judge John Reilly, now retired, was, at age 30, the youngest jurist ever named to the Provincial Court of Alberta. For most of his 33 years on the bench he was the circuit judge for the Stoney Indian Reserve at Morley, Alberta.
During his career he became interested in aboriginal justice. He saw the failure of the "white" legal system to do justice for aboriginal people, the harm caused to them by Canadian colonialism, and the failure of all levels of government, including tribal government, to alleviate their suffering and deal with the conflicting natures of European-style law and indigenous tradition and circumstance.
As a result of these realizations, Judge Reilly vowed to improve the delivery of justice to the aboriginal people in his community and used his perceived power as a jurist to make changes to improve the lives of the people in his jurisdiction. Along the way, he came into direct conflict with Canadian judicial administration and various questionable leaders among the echelons of both Canadian and First Nation governments.

person_edit À propos de l'auteur
John Reilly, ancien juge canadien, est l’auteur de plusieurs essais remarqués sur la justice autochtone et le système judiciaire au Canada. Nommé à seulement 30 ans à la Cour provinciale de l’Alberta, il a exercé pendant 33 ans, principalement comme juge itinérant sur la réserve indienne de Stoney à Morley. Son expérience l’a conduit à remettre en question l’adéquation du droit eurocentrique avec les réalités des Premières Nations, un combat qu’il relate dans Bad Judgment – Revised & Updated. Retraité mais toujours engagé, il continue de plaider pour une réforme profonde de la justice et des relations entre le Canada et ses peuples autochtones.
