SUMMARY:Truscott Lecture in Justice - The Rule of Law and Public Confidence
DESCRIPTION:The Truscott Lecture in Justice series welcomes Chief Justice of Ontario\, The Honourable Michael H. Tulloch. \nMichael H. Tulloch\nAppointed as Chief Justice and President of the Court of Appeal for Ontario in 2022\, Chief Justice Tulloch brings nearly two decades of judicial experience. In this session\, Chief Justice Tulloch will explore how the rule of law underpins trust in the justice system and discusses the essential relationship between judicial leadership\, transparency\, and public confidence in Canadian institutions. The Rule of Law is the foundation on which public trust in our justice system rests. Through strong and committed leadership\, we can ensure that Canadians continue to have confidence in our institutions and the integrity of our legal system. \nThis event offers a unique opportunity to gain perspectives on the evolving challenges and responsibilities of the judiciary in maintaining the integrity of the legal system. \n\nThe lecture series is part of the Truscott Initiative launched at U of G in 2009 to commemorate the struggles of Guelph resident Steven Truscott and his family. \nTruscott is known across Canada for his decades-long battle to prove his innocence after the 1959 murder of his schoolmate Lynne Harper. He was wrongly convicted of the crime at age 14 and spent years in prison before his release in 1969. He was acquitted by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 2007. \nThe Truscott Initiative aims to improve understanding of the nation’s complex criminal justice system and to highlight how criminal justice intersects with other policy areas and broader conceptions of justice. \n\nRegistration is not required for this event.
