Recorded on January 12, 2019 at the Runnymede Society&#8217;s Law and Freedom conference.<\/p>\n<p>To what extent should the presumption of innocence, a fundamental principle of criminal proceedings, apply outside of a court of law? Should the presumption have the same force in the courts of public opinion? This question has inspired debate as the #MeToo movement has gained traction. Recently, this question was front and centre in the controversial nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court. Should the presumption of innocence have the same, less, or no grip in contexts such as these? This panel will debate this question.<\/p>\n<p>Annamaria Enenajor is a partner at Ruby Shiller Enenajor DiGiuseppe, Barristers, recently named one of Canada\u2019s Top 10 criminal law boutiques by Canadian Lawyer Magazine.
