Webinar: Demystifying the Doctrine of Discovery

On October 13, 2020 the CRP and West Coast Environmental Law (WCEL) co-hosted the second webinar in the Legal Innovations Webinar Stream, “Demystifying the Doctrine of Discovery”. This dialogue brought together Elder Larry McDermott (CRP Elder’s Lodge), Professors John Borrows (Indigenous Law, University of Victoria) and Aimée Craft (Faculty of Common Law, University of Ottawa), Larry Innes (CRP Domestic Law and Policy Lead), and Rayanna Seymour-Hourie (WCEL Staff Lawyer and RELAW Manager). Together, they unpacked the legal and colonial underpinnings of Canada and reflected on legal innovations and reconciliation today.
