Some of the changes include moving the general rules to their own section and revising rules on citing regularly updated books, regulations, administrative decisions, and generative AI for greater clarity and increased consistency across the guide. Additions to the guide include guidance on creating a bibliography/table of authorities and on citing reports, dissertations, municipal by-laws, court materials, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - Crown Treaties, amongst other sources. A more detailed list is in the guide’s introduction. Since the publication of the guide in June 2024, the editors have led multiple online training sessions and conference workshops. We are now working on training materials that reflect the revised edition. The francophone editors continue to work on the French version of the guide, with the aim to publish it in 2026. Once the French version is published, we will be able to better focus our efforts to have the courts, tribunals, and the government adopt the guide and to add the guide to citation management tools. Reaction to the guide has been overwhelmingly positive. In fact, the guide was a recipient of a Clawbie for Best Legal Papers, Reports, or eBooks of 2024 and the CALL/ACBD Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing . The guide’s editors remain committed to feedback and encourage users to get in touch at coal.rjal@ubc.ca","id":3241524},{"pubDate":"Thu, 15 Oct 2026 08:11:35 +0200","titre":"La surreprésentation carcérale des Inuit au Québec : regards et expertises inuit","url":"https://hdl.handle.net/1866/46747","id":3217997,"description":"dc.contributor.author: Gagnon-Barbin, Léonie dc.date.issued: 2026-10 dc.description.abstract: La présente recherche examine la manière dont des experts inuit comprennent et expliquent la surreprésentation carcérale marquée des Inuit au Québec. Elle s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux argumentaires qu’ils construisent, aux savoirs qu’ils mobilisent ainsi qu’aux variations de leurs perspectives selon leurs parcours et leurs positions professionnelles. Sept experts inuit provenant des milieux communautaire, politique, judiciaire, académique et correctionnel ont été rencontrés dans le cadre d’entretiens qualitatifs semi-directifs. L’analyse des entretiens fait ressortir deux grands registres explicatifs. Le premier situe la surreprésentation dans les transformations liées au colonialisme et dans les réalités sociales, familiales et communautaires contemporaines du Nunavik qui leur sont associées. Le second porte sur le fonctionnement des institutions policières, judiciaires et correctionnelles et sur leur rôle dans les trajectoires de judiciarisation et d’incarcération des Inuit. Les experts mobilisent également des conceptions, des pratiques et des savoirs inuit pour mettre en évidence certaines limites des prises en charge institutionnelles. Les résultats montrent qu’une spécificité inuit ressort clairement des argumentaires des experts, sans que celle-ci repose principalement sur une comparaison avec les autres nations autochtones. Malgré la diversité de leurs parcours, les experts proposent des explications largement convergentes et développent une vision d’ensemble de la surreprésentation, dans laquelle les dimensions historiques, sociales et institutionnelles sont étroitement liées. Enfin, leur expertise se construit à partir d’expériences professionnelles, personnelles, familiales et communautaires étroitement imbriquées, ce qui invite à repenser les frontières de l’expertise.; This research examines how Inuit experts understand and explain the marked overrepresentation of Inuit in Quebec’s correctional system. More specifically, it focuses on the arguments they construct, the knowledge they draw on, and variations in their perspectives according to their trajectories and professional positions. Seven Inuit experts from community, political, judicial, academic, and correctional fields participated in qualitative semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the interviews reveals two main explanatory registers. The first situates overrepresentation within the transformations associated with colonialism and the contemporary social, family, and community realities of Nunavik that are linked to them. The second focuses on the functioning of police, judicial, and correctional institutions and their role in Inuit trajectories of criminal justice involvement and incarceration. The experts also draw on Inuit conceptions, practices, and knowledge to highlight certain limitations of institutional responses. The findings show that a distinct Inuit specificity clearly emerges from the experts’ arguments, without relying primarily on comparisons with other Indigenous peoples. Despite the diversity of their trajectories, the experts offer largely convergent explanations and develop an overarching view of overrepresentation in which historical, social, and institutional dimensions are closely interconnected. Finally, their expertise is built from closely intertwined professional, personal, family, and community experiences, inviting a reconsideration of the boundaries of expertise. dc.type: Thèse ou mémoire / Thesis or Dissertation etd.degree.discipline:","source":"Faculté de droit Travaux récents"},{"source":"Slaw","id":3184111,"description":"Preoccupation with the ongoing armed conflict in Iran has diverted attention from the grim aftermath of Iran’s nation-wide protests that began on 28 December 2025, during which tens of thousands of protestors were killed, arrested, or disappeared.

It is part of a historiography that grapples with France’s troubled and troubling history as an imperial nation state. Cohen identifies her goal “to bring out the uniqueness of Algerian family immigration” by considering both their interaction with the state and the “multiple pathways” they took (p. 22). In other words, she reminds us that Algerians’ experiences have been more diverse than depictions—in the media and in political circles—have allowed. Cohen’s work traces the medium durée (p. 19) from the end of World War II through the early Mitterrand administration. It builds on previous scholarship. Structurally, the book has three sections which follow chronologically. The first examines the period of the Algerian War for Independence (1954-1962). Her chapters focus on key problems the French administration identified—housing, social services, and education—via a","id":1634154,"source":"Revue européenne des migrations internationales"}]
