DESCRIPTION:The Great Trials lecture series considers a collection of histo
 ry-making trials across time and examines the social and political context
 s in which they took place as well as their cultural consequences. The ser
 ies takes the position that ‘law’ happens as much outside the courtroom as
  it does within it\, and that each of these pivotal events stands as testa
 ment to the ways in which constructions of authority\, law\, and justice h
 ave informed cultural consciousness across centuries.\nIPLAI is pleased to
  offer the lectures in this series for CLE credit through the Barreau du Q
 uébec.\nAfter a brief description of the often overlooked role of the Judg
 e who presides at a criminal jury trial\, the presenter will relate the ci
 rcumstances leading up to the murder trial of Jocelyn Hotte\, an R.C.M.P. 
 officer who on June 23rd\, 2001 killed his paramour after a dramatic car c
 hase on the Metropolitan Boulevard in Montreal during which the victim's c
 ries for help were recorded by the Montreal Police. The trial was preceded
  by a voir dire concerning the admissibility of the recording and of vario
 us witness's testimony\, which raised certain legal issues. At trial the a
 ccused took the position that he could not be held guilty of murder becaus
 e his mental state did not permit him to form the intention necessary to a
  finding of murder\; this necessitated complicated instuctions to the jury
  in the face of conflicting testimony by medical experts\; all this during
  intense media coverage\, probably the most the presenter had until then e
 xperienced.\nFor details and to register: /iplai/grea
