One of the lessons I learned as a judge was how much courts depend on lawyers for fairly and accurately deciding cases. Their skills in presenting the evidence and their knowledge of the law are indispensable to the administration of justice.
In no other area of the law is this more true than in the determination of refugee claims. As a judge for 15 years of the Federal Court and of the Federal Court of Appeal, I must have reviewed hundreds of decisions by the Immigration and Refugee Board and immigration officers. The Immigration and Refugee Board has the most difficult fact-finding job of any administrative tribunal or court in Canada.
Lawyers’ professional skills in identifying relevant evidence and presenting it cogently enable refugee decision makers to navigate around these obstacles to accurate fact-finding.
