Product DescriptionCompared with its civilian counterpart which struggles with delays and uncertain results summary military justice is efficient. From offence until outcome, 90 per cent of cases are dealt with in less than ninety days. The other side of the coin is that there is no right to representation by defence counsel, no transcript produced, and no appeal to a judge. Nine times out of ten, individuals are found guilty. For service members, consequences can include fines, reductions in rank, confinement, and sentences of up to thirty days in military jail, sometimes with a criminal conviction. Addressing important gaps in legal literature, Frontline Justice sets out to examine summary justice in Canada's military and to advocate for reform. Pascal Lvesque describes the origins, purposes, and features of the summary trial system in the Canadian Armed Forces. He then analyzes the system's benefits and flaws and the challenges it faces in maintaining discipline while respecting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lvesque determines that troubling aspects of the system, including the fact that lower and higher ranks are dealt with and punished differently, are clear indicators of a need for change. Criticizing current legislation, the book takes into account the latest developments in military law and jurisprudence to make concrete recommendations for an alternative model of military justice. A thoughtprovoking and balanced analysis, Frontline Justice seeks to remedy some of the more unfair and arcane proceedings of the Canadian military's summary trial system.Review"Frontline Justice allows an incursion in a closely tight legal universe rarely accessible to outsiders, shedding light on some of its flaws in the hope of striking a balance between military efficiency and the protection of rights. In that sense, the book addresses a common dilemma in administrative law and, to some extent, in criminal law a dilemma that goes beyond the confines of military law." MarieEve Sylvestre, University of OttawaBook DescriptionA comprehensive explanation of summary justice in the Canadian military and how it can be improved in the future.About the AuthorPascal Lvesque is a Quebec lawyer who served for fifteen years as a legal officer in the Canadian Armed Forces.
