Gladue Reports Writing
Indigenous program
A Gladue report must be ordered by the court. The order may be made on the basis of the arguments presented by the accused, the lawyers for the case (whether working for the defence or the prosecution), or a justice committee (a local authority bringing together representatives from the Aboriginal community who work on local justice issues), or the report may be ordered directly by the judge.
The accused must identify themselves as Aboriginal to the court or defense attorney for the purposes of ordering the Gladue Report.
Please note that it may take up to 3 months to complete the Gladue Report submission process.
