A lecture given by former B.C. Supreme Court justice Donna Martinson at the Centre for Feminist Legal Studies at UBC. Titled "A Dangerous Disconnect: Multiple court proceedings and intimate partner violence," the lecture highlights how our justice system inadequately attends to power relations as they extend to and across court proceedings involving domestic violence. The lecture also offers a vision of how reform of court processes could create more equitable and empowering experiences for women navigating this system.
