In the course “Community Scrutiny & Involvement,” we encounter observations of defence counsel as they express, in unique ways, feelings of fellowship. Firstly William Trudell’s story “The Walkerton Tragedy” describes the generosity and forgiveness of a town stricken with contaminated water. Then Hon. John Vertes’ story, “The Case of Henry Innuksuk,” depicts the rallying of a remote Inuit community in support of one of theirs who has fallen. Still within the theme of Community, forensic psychologist Dr. J. Thomas Dalby examines the impacts of “The Taber School Shooting,” including factors to be considered when deciding on youth or adult court for young offenders. It remains for Hersh Wolch QC in “The Young Prosecutor’s Trial by Fire” to take us into his first homicide case, as the raising of the curtain on an outstanding career.
