Further, we have recently tapped into the CanLII Connects system and are excited by the drive towards open access in legal scholarship and authorship. We have made connections with Emond Publishing who have graciously provided editorial assistance to us in these two latest volumes. Our commitment to open access publication, as well as our presence on the usual legal databases and Academia.edu contributes to making our resources easy to access. As part of our commitment to advancing legal research and disseminating knowledge in the fields of criminal law, criminal justice and criminology, we present you, this year, with two additional volumes of the Criminal Law Edition of the Manitoba Law Journal.

Academics, students and the practicing bench and bar continue to access this publication and contribute to it their knowledge and experience in the criminal law. The fact that we have, once again, elected to publish a double volume is a testament to the quality of submissions we have received over the last twelve months. We present twenty-five articles from twenty-nine authors, highlighting the work of some of Canada’s leading criminal law, criminological and criminal justice academics. The Manitoba Law Journal remains one of the most important legal scholarship platforms in Canada with a rich history of hosting criminal law analyses.1 With the help of our contributors, the Manitoba Law Journal was recently ranked second out of thirty-one entries in the Law, Government and Politics category of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). We continue to be committed to open access scholarship and our readership grows with each Criminal Law Special Edition released.

It further critiques the Senate of Canada’s recommendations to reduce trial delays. The article argues that the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in R v Jordan fails to facilitate meaningful long-term change yet implementing a system of costs would further perpetuate trial delays. Ultimately, changes to the current structure and operation of the criminal justice system are required to immediately reduce trial delays beyond the current Jordan ceilings. All participants of the criminal justice system should strive towards the further reduction the ceilings for trial delay in Canada. Without these changes, the culture of complacency towards trial delay will continue to erode the s. 11(b) Charter rights of accused persons.
