Legal Services Society's "Plain language guide for Aboriginal peoples, lawyers, and Native courtworkers about how to prepare an oral or written Gladue submission for a bail or sentencing hearing." Also see recorded webinar, below.

Recorded webinar via Courthouse Libraries BC: "The Legal Services Society has published a Gladue Submission Guide to assist individuals in identifying applicable Gladue factors for bail and sentencing hearings. In this 1 hour webinar, Halie Bruce of Cedar & Sage Law, who conducted a legal review of the Guide, will explain how the Guide can be used to help an accused person gather background information in preparation for Gladue submissions and how to organize those submissions for the court. We will also look at the difference between Gladue submissions and a Gladue Report and Joleen Steininger, Gladue Coordinator with LSS, will explain the process for obtaining funding for a Gladue report through LSS.
This webinar is aimed at criminal defence lawyers and front line workers who may be assisting a self represented person in preparing for criminal court."
