 * "Try Judging"/"Essayez de Juger" **

John Gann - Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association Try Judging/Essayez de Juger is a multi-media educational programme designed to be integrated into Canadian high school curricula wherein law, civics, and social studies are either mandatory or optional courses of study taught in either English or French. It introduces students to the role of judges in Canada’s judicial system, and encourages students to explore important concepts such as the Rule of Law, judicial independence, and judicial impartiality. The objective is to place the student squarely in the middle of our justice system, to let them assume the role of a judge. By putting students in a judge’s shoes, students would face the kind of cases and arguments judges face and would see first hand what a balancing act there is between rights and interests. The program is designed to challenge students to think about how justice is administered in Canada.
