DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the 2020 Proulx Roundtable Conference in Cri
 minal Law. This year's Proulx Roundtable is an interdisciplinary event tha
 t brings together scholars and jurists to discuss some of the latest resea
 rch and challenges that relate to bail/pre-trial detention and offers pers
 pectives on ways to understand these issues along with reflections for mov
 ing forward. Our eminent guests are:\n\n\n	Professor Cheryl Webster\, Dept 
 of Criminology\, U. of Ottawa\n	Professor Nicole Myers\, Dept of Sociology\
 , Queen’s U.\n	Justice Jessica Wolfe\, Ontario Court of Justice\n	Professor 
 Jillian Rogin\, Faculty of Law\, U. of Windsor\n	Professor Danardo Jones\, 
 Faculty of Law\, U. of Windsor\n\n\nThe presentations and panel will be mo
 derated by Professor Marie Manikis\, William Dawson Chair at 91ºÚÁÏÍø's Facu
 lty of Law.\n\nMeeting on Zoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/89704559299\n\nTh
 e Canadian criminal justice system has seen a constant rise of accused per
 sons held in pre-trial detention\, particularly among Indigenous and Black
  communities. Several reasons account for this rise\, including systemic d
 iscrimination\, the multiplication of conditions of release untailored to 
 the social context and the individual\, the use of sureties\, the injectio
 n of retributive rationales within the bail process\, and various other as
 pects highlighted in research. Furthermore\, the recent pandemic has given
  rise to virtual processes\, including virtual bail\, as well as accentuat
 ed some of the pre-existing issues related to bail\, notably delays\, acce
 ss to justice issues\, and the overcrowded\, unsanitary\, and dangerous co
 nditions of pre-trial detention.\n\nProfessor Cheryl Webster will begin by
  presenting an empirical picture of Canada’s current ‘bail crisis’ as a fo
 undation to better assess the effectiveness of various strategies being pr
 oposed and/or implemented to alleviate it.\n\nProfessor Nicole Myers will 
 discuss the recent move towards virtual bail and present findings from obs
 ervations within this process.\n\nFinally\, Justice Jessica Wolfe and Prof
 essors Jillian Rogin and Danardo Jones will consider ways to understand an
 d integrate the circumstances of Indigenous\, Black\, and marginalized pop
 ulations into the bail process in order to reduce the over-representation 
 of these groups within the criminal justice system.\n\nThe Michel Proulx M
 emorial Lecture Fund\n\nThe Hon. Michel Proulx (1939-2007) devoted his lif
 e to the improvement of the criminal justice system and to the advancement
  of human rights in Canada. Called to the Quebec Bar in 1963\, he quickly 
 acquired the reputation of being one of the finest criminal lawyers in Can
 ada. A brilliant attorney\, he acted as counsel before the Cliche Commissi
 on\, the Malouf Commission\, the Keable Commission\, and the MacDonald Com
 mission on the RCMP. In 1989\, he was appointed to the Court of Appeal of 
 Quebec. His achievements include a criminal and penal case management serv
 ice that improved the court system and made it more efficient. In 2006\, h
 e was awarded the Prix de la Justice du Québec\, in acknowledgement of his
  devotion to the improvement and promotion of justice in Quebec.\n\nThe Ho
 n. Michel Proulx also taught Criminal Procedure and Evidence in Criminal M
 atters for over 20 years as an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Law of
