Gladue factors and Gladue Reports are important.

"Judges in Canada are required to consider the unique and systemic factors that may have played a role in bringing Indigenous Peoples before the court when sentencing."

- R v Gladue, 1999 at para 66.

"These factors are presented to the court through a Gladue Report. They aim to reduce the overrepresentation of Indigenous Peoples in Canadian courts."

So why do Indigenous Peoples still make up

31%

of admissions to provincial custody?

29%

of admissions to federal custody?

Well, Gladue Reports don't always work. Sometimes, they can take too long to produce. And that means a Gladue Report may not get factored into an Indigenous Person's sentence.

The Gladue Submissions Assistant helps lawyers make sure that Gladue factors are presented to judges.

Our AI-powered tool helps legal professionals create comprehensive Gladue submissions that honor Indigenous heritage and improve client outcomes.
