In composing this essay, be sure to provide some background on the Stanley case, then move to what you think matters most about the judgement given its implications equality and fairness and the role of juries in Canada. It’s important that you take a position on the case and the role of jury selection and the jury in the judgement; ensure that you back up your position using evidence and arguments provided in the three articles. You are welcome to do more research on the case, but you do not have to do so.

Also, one important heads up – the Stanley case led to Parliament amending the criminal code to remove peremptory challenges, which means that these are not part of the process anymore (for more info, see: http://www.thecourt.ca/r-v-chouhan-abolishment-of-peremptory-challenges-is-constitutionally-valid/#:~:text=In%20September%202019%2C%20Bill%20C,judges%20for%20challenges%20of%20cause).
