Are you Aboriginal? Do you have a bail hearing? Or are you going to be sentenced for a crime?

This booklet and accompanying poster are about the right of Aboriginal peoples, as a result of a case called Gladue, to have a judge take their background into account when setting bail or deciding on a sentence. The booklet explains the kind of information a judge needs in order to apply Gladue, when to give the judge this information, and where to go for help.


Other credits The Ontario Federation of Indian Friendship Centres, Aboriginal Legal Services of Toronto, and CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario/Éducation juridique communautaire Ontario) worked in partnership to develop and produce this booklet and accompanying poster.
