BA - Economics University of Western Ontario
Areas of Research
Criminal law and policy, criminal procedure, evidence
Lisa’s research interests are as broad and deep as her career background. Her online scholarship covers all areas of the criminal justice system including substantive criminal law issues and criminal law reform. She publishes on her own legal commentary website, Ideablawg, and produces a podcast on the Criminal Code. Her off-line articles focus on the rules of evidence, such as the admissibility of expert evidence and informant privilege. Her writing also explores the burden of proof and credibility assessment in judicial decision making. Presently, she is working on the interplay between social media as an evidential image within a socially constructed space and the traditional rules of evidence. She is currently revising, with Pat Knoll QC, Criminal Law Defences, 5th edition. Lisa is also investigating the effect of experiential learning in the teaching and learning of law.
