Restorative justice and the Hockey Canada trial

The Hockey Canada case captivated the country — raising complex questions about consent, hockey culture and even how sports organizations handle accusations of assault. In late July, all five of the accused members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team were found not guilty of sexual assault. After the verdict, a lawyer for one of the players, Megan Savard, said her client, Carter Hart, would have been open to a restorative justice process instead of a trial. Some legal experts say restorative justice is an alternative to the court process that could offer healing for victims and offenders. Jennifer Llewellyn, law professor and chair in restorative justice at Dalhousie's Schulich School of Law, joins The Decibel today. She'll explain how restorative justice works and its potential to address issues like the ones raised by the Hockey Canada case. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@
