Ethics Series — Ethics of Justice: Can We Fix the Justice Delayed, Justice Denied Problem

Canadians are losing faith in a justice system that too often moves at a glacial pace. Court delays, bail backlogs, and complex procedures mean that justice delayed has become justice denied for victims, accused persons, and the public alike. This Massey Ethics Forum will bring together experts, Junior Fellows, and diverse voices for a cross-generational discussion on how to make Ontario’s courts fairer, faster, and more accessible.

The panel will explore the ethical dimensions of efficiency in justice:

• How do we modernize court administration without losing equity?
• Can digital reform close the gap—or deepen it?
• What lessons will Ontario’s experience offer as the new federal government prepares its own bail and justice reforms?

The discussion will be moderated by Thomas S. Axworthy, Public Policy Chair at Massey College, and will feature a distinguished panel including Justice Julie Thorburn of the Ontario Court of Appeal and Senior Fellow of Massey College; Kara Hart of the John Howard Society; and Ikran Jama, Junior Fellow at Massey College, Rhodes Scholar, and third-year law student.
