This week, I had the opportunity to lend my voice to an important issue. I was a guest reader for the Legal Listening Podcast on the Truth & Reconciliation Commission Part V: The History Part II.
Legal Listening is an amazing resource for law students, articling students, lawyers, and the general public alike.
They post readings of major legal cases in an effort to make caselaw more accessible. Pursuant to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Executive Summary – Calls to Action:
27. We call upon the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to ensure that lawyers receive appropriate cultural competency training, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal– Crown relations. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
Legal Listening made the decision to record the Truth & Reconciliation Commission as a summer series all compiled together on their site at: https://t.co/Q0Xomj0ixw
