Document Summary
Our paper seeks to understand how r. v. gladue, r. v. ipeelee and, more specifically, gladue courts, give rise to new legal practices that seek to integrate information about aboriginal cultural factors and histories into traditional legal procedures. We also draw on feminist, indigenous, and critical race analyses of transformative narratives (aylward. 1999; crenshaw 2005; delgado 1989; ewick and silbey 1995; hill collins 2000; matsuda 1987; williams. Emplotting these connections (1995, 219) helped us refine our analysis of contextualized knowledges. We draw on court observations taken over a total of twenty months spanning three years, from 2009 to 2011. Our observations and coding focused on the types of evidence and statements presented before the courts. Detailed notes were taken on who was presenting evidence and the types of statements they advanced. Court observations were supplemented with analyses of court documents and data collected from eleven interviews with judges, lawyers, court workers, and community partners.
