The Inhospitable Court

The media coverage and countless stories that have been told by survivors of
sexualized violence in the lead up to, throughout, and following the Jian
Ghomeshi trial have shone a spotlight on the brutality of the courtroom
process for survivors of sexualized violence. "The Inhospitable Court" is
not an examination of the Ghomeshi trial itself. The article focuses more
generally on the sexual assault trial process - its design, its traditions,
its script - and the trauma it causes to those who find themselves forced to
relive their experiences in a very particular way in front of a judge,
lawyers, the media, and the general public. Using trial transcripts from
recent cases, it describes the profound power differentials that occur and
the threat to self the trial process poses for complainants - regardless of
the verdict. It also offers some suggestions for how lawyers, judges, and
legislators could make that experience less traumatic for those who turn to
the criminal justice system to respond to the sexual harms they have
endured.

University of Toronto Law Journal
The University of Toronto Law Journal, founded in 1935, is the oldest
university law journal in Canada. It continues to represent the broad and
visionary approach to legal scholarship which was initially announced by
W.P.M. Kennedy, the first editor of the Journal, when he ventured the hope
that its publication would foster a knowledge of comparative laws 'not
merely as substantive or adjectival systems, but as expressions of organized
human life, of ordered progress, and of social justice.'
The journal publishes the work of the most internationally well known
scholars, not only in the law, but also in the broad range of disciplines
relating to the law, such as economics, political science, philosophy,
sociology, and history. <http://www.utpjournals.com/utlj>
