Season 2, Episode 6: A Conversation with Megan Savard\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the most recent Summer Law Institute, OJEN-er Jean-Paul Bevilacqua sat down for an in-depth conversation with criminal defence lawyer Megan Savard. Megan reflects on her path into criminal law, the early challenges she faced, and the skills and strategies she developed to establish herself in a demanding profession. She also discusses the essential role of defence counsel in protecting Charter<\/em> rights and maintaining public confidence in the justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation then turns to the recent Hockey Canada trial, in which Megan represented one of the five defendants. She offers insight into the unique legal, evidentiary, and societal issues raised by the case and reflects on the broader public conversation surrounding sexual assault trials in Canada. This episode will interest listeners from multiple perspectives, offering a candid look at criminal law, advocacy, professional resilience, and the real-world impact of legal processes on Canadian society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
