Default Supreme Court Chief Justice "A Lesson in Bias?" at National JudicialInstitute NJI


Media Release

Immediate Release December 4, 2007

National Judicial Institute (NJI) "A Lesson in Bias?"

A recent article in the Fraser Forum by Chris Schafer, an Ottawa
Lawyer, with Gowlings, entitled "Continuing Judicial Education A
Lesson in Bias" is a strong indication that government needs to be
very concerned with the hidden agenda at NJI. Biased training of
Judges may result in biased Civil and Criminal Court decisions. The
lives of everyday Canadians
are dependent upon a justice system which is free of bias. Please
review the article:
http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/admin/...5ffSchafer.pdf

Last Friday, NJI staff "leaked" an email, confirming that The Right
Honourable Beverly McLachlin had failed to respond to an Ontario Human
Rights Complaint, filed by Wayne Cook, in February 2007. The deadline
for a response was October 5, 2007, now two (2) months ago. Michael
Rippon, "leaked" this information to another Ontario Human Rights
complainant against NJI. This email seems to indicate that the Ontario
Human Rights Mediation staff have given legal advice to NJI, which is
the basis of a complaint now filed with the Toronto Police. (Appendix
A).

"The NJI people are quite dangerous, operate in secret, and are
specifically exempted from disclosure of their training material (or
trainers) under the Access to Information legislation. Frankly, that
is wrong because you don't know WHAT the judges have been "trained to
do" when you have to make your arguments in court. This is a simple
thing that local MPs can do -- to remove that protection -- that does
not conflict with the current policies of the government." F.A.C.T
Website www.fact.on.ca
"With the McLachlin...quoted below, we really wondered just how
biased the material given to judges was -- there people make a lot of
their decisions from their "training", not by thinking. It is
terrible. You think that the National Judicial Institute has made any
effort to make this material relevant or correct? Well, you will have
to be a judge to see (http://www.nji.ca)-- community input on
community standards is not welcome. However, we doubt that a word has
been changed to deal with the problems." F.A.C.T Website www.fact.on.ca

"Gerry Bellett's (Vancouver Sun) tight lipped article fails
to explain the "POLICY', the National Judicial Institute (NJI) is an
independent organization that is mandated to offer MANDATORY courses
to judges and all the judiciary including law enforcement to receive
the "GENDER SENSITIVITY" indoctrination course". Hence, how the bias
is linked to "policy". http://www.nji.ca
"The GENDER SENSITIVITY training program is unknown to the public, as
most slight of hand policies are. It is near impossible to obtain
copies of this program that has not been amended since its creation
in
the year 1990." www.equalparenting-bc.ca.
"These judges are subject to feminist indoctrination in their
training
at the National Judicial Institute." Established in 1988, the National
Judicial Institute coordinates and provides training programs and
continuing education services to all of Canada's judges. It is located
in Ottawa.
Although the curriculum of the institute is not available to the
general public, analysis of the biographies of law professors and
judges do state the feminist teachings to members of the institute.
Often law professors receive judgeships. Nowhere have we found any
references to any masculist training of Canadian judges or training
from independent children's rights organizations that don't receive
some form of federal government funding." Canadian Children's Rights
Council www.canadiancrc.com

Hall, Chief Commissioner, The Ontario Human Rights Commission

Hi Brain,

I was contacted today by a Mr. Cotten of the Ontario Human Rights
Commission with regard to Wayne Cook's complaint. There are a number
of points that you need to be aware of and actions that should be
taken very soon.

He informed me that Chief Justice McLaughlin and Justice Smith, had
been asked in late September to provide a response to the Commission
regarding Mr. Cook's complaint. The Commission has not received a
response as yet and would very much like one as the due date was
October 5th, 2007.

A previously scheduled mediation session( January, 22nd, 2007) between
the Commission, Mr. Cook and the parties above has been canceled as a
result of Mr. Cook's inability to make his way to Ottawa for the
session.

Mr. Cotten would very much like to put this case to file and have
nothing more to do with it. He does however require a response from
someone who could easily be Mr. Riggs if the parties above so choose.
Mr.Cotten also mentioned that it would be wise to mention in the body
of response a couple of things:

a.reference section 34.1.b http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/sta..._f.htm#s34s1.b

b. be clear that we do not provide training for or by people other
than judges or senior legal academics

c. mention that we responded to his original request for participation
in our program in reasonable time ( dates of e-mails from Susan L.)

d. we had nothing to do with his arrest outside of our doors and in
fact his arrest came before he launched his complaint dated Sept 18
2007.

Let me know if there is more I can do.

I will forward Mr.Cottens coordinates once he sends them to me.

Michael
