Canada has one of the best justice systems in the world. According to the World Justice Project’s annual Rule of Law Index, the country ranks 12th worldwide for its respect for human rights, access to justice, prevention of corruption and protection of fundamental freedoms. But how can we go even further? What measures should we consider to make our justice system more efficient, more inclusive and more accessible to everyone, everywhere in Canada?

In this episode of “De la recherche à l’impact,” host Josiane Blanc talks to Jérémy Boulanger-Bonnelly, 2020 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholar and Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law, McGill University. Together, they discuss the challenges of harmonizing the law in a complex federal system, the reforms needed for fairer justice, and the impact of Jérémy’s research on foreign legal systems — work that has profoundly transformed his vision of justice in Canada. Jérémy shares a committed vision of the law: a tool rooted in social realities, at the service of citizens, and a source of renewal for the fabric of society.
