How to properly defend; what is happening with sentencing; how to ensure the representative sample is representative; how to keep police out of the box.

This panel will cover all issues related to representing clients who are charged with an offence involving child pornography from two senior counsel who have extensive experience dealing with these types of charges. The panelists will specifically discuss the following issues: how to defend these types of cases; how to ensure that the representative sample is actually representative; how to keep police officers from giving evidence at sentencing hearings; and trends in sentencing for these offences, with particular emphasis on Ottawa compared with other jurisdictions in Ontario. Professionalism topics include:

  • 2.9 Conducting effective client interviews and client meetings to properly prepare for defending these types of cases
