Horace E. Read Memorial Lecture: Let Us Not Look Away Again – Building Community Safety Through Justice Transformation
About the Lecture:
The Read Lecture series was inaugurated in 1975 to honour the memory of the late Horace E Read, OC, QC, Dean of Dalhousie Law School from 1950-1964, in recognition of his contribution to legal education and legal scholarship.
Dr. Read's areas of interest were broad: law reform, legislation and the legislative process, conflict of law, labour law and legal education, and this is well reflected in the diversity of the lectures.
About the Speaker and Topic:
Kim Stanton, BA (Hon), LLB, LLM, SJD, is a lawyer, author, and senior fellow at Massey College, University of Toronto.
As one of the three commissioners selected to conduct the Mass Casualty Commission, her lecture will connect findings from this Nova Scotia public inquiry to those of her 2025 report on the British Columbia legal system's treatment of survivors of gender-based violence, providing a roadmap for breaking the cycle of decades of repeated, unimplemented recommendations in order to offer pathways to safety and justice.
