The Gladue Principles: Doctrinal Roots and New Growth
Bring a Buddy Months – In April and May 2022 consider bringing a non-member buddy to a Section Meeting. Sections provide opportunities for lawyers to further their professional education and to keep ahead of current developments within the profession. The MBA wants to show non-members what they’re missing!!
SPEAKER: Benjamin Ralston, PhD candidate and sessional lecturer at University of Saskatchewan, College of Law and Author of Gladue Principles: A Guide to the Jurisprudence
Benjamin Ralston teaches at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law where he is currently completing his PhD. He previously held term positions as an assistant professor, including a one-year appointment to teach in the Nunavut Law Program.

Since then, he has assisted with Gladue reports used in British Columbia and Nunavut as well. Benjamin has also authored various publications on this topic, including the Indigenous Law Centre’s Gladue Awareness Project: Final Report published in 2020, as well as The Gladue Principles: A Guide to the Jurisprudence published by the Indigenous Law Centre in 2021 as an initiative of the BC First Nations Justice Council.
