University of Western Ontario Journal of Legal Studies April 10, 2015 Authors: Eric Vallillee The offence of infanticide is allegedly based in debunked and sexist ideas about women and pregnancy. This article demonstrates that this offence is both necessary and beneficial regardless of its alleged basis. This article outlines the elements of infanticide and examines the legislative history from Medieval England to its adoption in Canada before discussing contemporary discourses on infanticide with a particular focus on the application of modern medical science. This work argues there are two issues with the current offence: (1) the requirement of a disturbed mind in the accused resulting from childbirth or lactation; and (2) the lack of a required causal connection between the disturbed mind and the offence. Reforming the offence in this way would reduce the breadth of the offence and improve the ways in which women are dealt with by the criminal justice system. Charlottetown v PEI (IRAC): A Case Comment on and Introduction to Standards of Review CanLII Connects April 14, 2014 Authors: Eric Vallillee This paper is a blend of case comment, and introduction to an important area of law, namely: standards of judicial review in administrative proceedings. The selected case is not likely to find its way to the Supreme Court, but involves an interesting conflict between a municipal body and provincial administrative review panel, which may assist in more effectively illustrating the real impact that this area of law can and does have on real people and communities across the country.
