Published purpose

This project will provide funding to Nova Scotia, over five years, to prepare Impact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs) for qualified legal aid clients in the province of Nova Scotia. IRCAs are pre-sentencing reports that assist courts in considering the effect that racism and other unique circumstances experienced by Black persons and potentially other racialized minorities, have contributed to their contact with the criminal justice system.
