Kahsai<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">, 2023 SCC 20. Mr. Kahsai was charged with criminal offences and chose not to be represented by a lawyer at his trial. The trial judge appointed a lawyer to assist the court during the trial, called an <\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">The role of <\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\"> is determined by the court, they do not represent the accused person.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> On appeal, Mr. Kahsai argued there was a miscarriage of justice in part because the role given to <\/span><em>amicus <\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">did not include taking steps or making arguments a lawyer for the defence might have made. The Supreme Court ruled there was not a miscarriage of justice and explained the role <\/span><em>amicus <\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">can play in cases where an accused person is unrepresented. The Court drew on the submissions of the CCLA and other intervenors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The fairness of a trial in Canada depends, in part, on an adversarial proceeding. This means that both prosecution, representing the Crown, and defence, representing the accused, present and argue their case. The Crown and defence are usually represented by lawyers. If there is no lawyer for the defence, and the accused person does not argue their case, there is a risk the trial could be unfair. Parts of the evidence or the law may not be addressed, and the picture that emerges at trial could be incomplete or inaccurate.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An accused person may not have a lawyer for many different reasons, including if they have significant mental, behavioural, or cognitive challenges. At the same time, an accused person has the constitutional right to decide how to present and argue their case. A central question in <\/span><em>Kahsai<\/em> <span data-contrast=\"none\">was how to fairly balance these considerations when an accused person is not represented by a lawyer and a court appoints <\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As the CCLA argued for and the Supreme Court explained at paragraphs 45 and 64, the role of <\/span><em>amicus<\/em> <span data-contrast=\"none\">can be tailored and responsive to the needs of an individual case:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">[45] The right of the accused to control their own defence restricts the adversarial functions that\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fcan assume. As noted by the intervener the Canadian Civil Liberties Association,<em>\u202f<\/em><\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fcannot make submissions or seek to elicit evidence that would contradict any defences or theories raised by the accused (see I.F., at p. 8). At the same time, a defendant\u2019s choice to represent themselves will not prevent\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202ffrom assuming\u202f<\/span><em>any<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\"><em>\u202f<\/em>adversarial role, because the right to control one\u2019s own defence does not entitle the accused to determine what assistance the court requires. [\u2026]<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:851,&quot;335559737&quot;:851}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">[64] In sum, in the vast majority of cases, the responsibilities of the trial judge and the Crown will suffice to ensure trial fairness. Once it is determined that\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\"><em>\u202f<\/em>is required, the trial judge retains wide discretion to appoint\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fwith functions that are responsive to the needs of a case. This may include adversarial functions where necessary for trial fairness \u2014 for example, to restore balance to a proceeding when an accused chooses to self-represent and puts forward no meaningful defence. In tailoring the scope of the role for the\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">, the judge will consider the nature of the role of\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\"><em>\u202f<\/em>as friend of the court and the circumstances of a case, including how the accused exercises their constitutional rights and what is needed to ensure a fair trial. While there are necessary limits to the adversarial functions that\u202f<\/span><em>amicus<\/em><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fcan perform,\u202fthe scope is broad enough to accommodate what is necessary for trial fairness in a particular case.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:851,&quot;335559737&quot;:851}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You can read the Supreme Court\u2019s decision\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/decisions.scc-csc.ca\/scc-csc\/scc-csc\/en\/item\/20016\/index.do\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">here<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and the CCLA\u2019s factum\u202f<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scc-csc.ca\/WebDocuments-DocumentsWeb\/40044\/FM080_Intervener_Canadian-Civil-Liberties-Association.pdf\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">here<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The CCLA is grateful to Sarah Rankin and Heather Ferg of McKay Ferg LLP for their excellent<em>\u202f<\/em><\/span><em>pro bono<\/em> <span data-contrast=\"none\">representation in this case.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a1c532b4000a\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6a1c532b4036e\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\" data-top-percent=\"1%\" data-bottom-percent=\"1%\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: calc(100vw * 0.01); padding-bottom: calc(100vw * 0.01); \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #ef770e;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" >About the Canadian Civil Liberties Association<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>The CCLA is an independent, non-profit organization with supporters from across the country.
