Toronto Lawyer Provided Pro-Bono Services at G20 Bail Courts

With the media reporting more than 900 G20-related arrests, it is no wonder we have a huge backlog in bail court this morning.

513.jpgThankfully, the Province of Ontario had the foresight to set up the courthouse at 2201 Finch Avenue to process those individuals arrested in the G20 protests. These courtrooms were staffed with extra crown attorneys, security and legal aid to help process thoses charged more quickly.

And thankfully there are people like Adam Goodman in this world to help those who have been charged. For many of those charged over the weekend, it will have been their first introduction to the criminal justice system. And I am sure having counsel readily available to them for guidance during this process will have been invaluable service.

Adam selflessly spent much of Sunday giving his time and knowledge to assist those who had been charged as a result of the G20.
