This shows a Canadian court house. The flag on the left is the Canadian flag and the flag on the right is the provinces flag. In this case the Provence is British Columbia
Imagine how it would feel to walk into a courtroom as any person if you were the judge you would be nervous about making the right decision. if you were the accused you would be worried that people wouldn’t think you were innocent. is you were the crown prosecutor you would be nervous about not proving the accused to be guilty. I could just keep going on and on about different people but instead I’m going to tell you about how I feel about the Canadian justice system and how I would feel in one of these positions.
The judge: I think that it would be terrifying because you are expected to be fair and make the right decision but I would feel so pressured and I HATE THAT FEELING doesn’t everyone? he needs to be strong and not be bias and always remember that the accused is innocent until proven guilty.
The accused: but that’s not really a job but it is still part of justice I think it would be SO scary because every body would stare at you and a lot would hate you even if your innocent.
Crown Prosecutor: I think it would be a hard job to be the crown prosecutor because it would probably be very stressful because you need to be able to take in information and then think it through and say a response that proves him guilty and like the judge he or she needs to not be bias and be strong and don’t attach emotion to things.
I think the courtroom is fair because they treat each individual the same no matter what every human being in court has the same rights as each other and that’s is very fair . they also have ramps to make the courtroom wheelchair accessible and they help other people with disabilities as much as they can.
I hope you have learned lots about the Canadian justice system and how it works.
