R. v. Kokopenace is a landmark Supreme Court of Canada case regarding First Nation representation on jury rolls.[1]
In Anishinabek News
- May 2015: The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in May 2015 that Ontario made reasonable efforts to include First Nations on jury rolls. The decision effectively lowered the standard for government inclusion efforts set by a 2013 Court of Appeal ruling by Harry LaForme. The majority of the court described First Nations as a societal group that warrants no special treatment regarding jury compilation.[1]
