COURT VISIT
Superior Court of Justice
The first court which I visited was superior court of Justice- small. The court is located at 7755
Hurontario St, Brampton, ON L6W 4T1, Canada. As this was for the purpose of my individual
assignment I decided to visit the court alone. I ensured that I follow all the court etiquettes as
mentioned in the assignment instructions. The date on which I had decided to visit the court was
on, October 25th, 2018. I knew the fact that the trials in the court would start at 10AM, so I
reached the court sharp at 10 AM. I was present in the court for the entire as I was asked to do
the same through my assignment instructions. I left the court at around 4.30 PM. The name of
judge whose court room I had witnessed was judge, Madam Justice Shaw. During my visit I was
only able to observe one case. The name of the case which I had observed was Deidun Jason V.
Bernard Dan. The lawyer for Deidun was Mr Doan Harry J and for Bernard Dana was Wiley
Thomas J. The case was in relation to a criminal provincial matter. The proceeding was sex
service which had been provided in return of material benefits. The lawyers for the plaintiff and
defendant were both present there. I observed that they were very busy making the submissions
of evidence and illuminating some of the some evidence as well, before they set a jury to sit for
the case. The judge heard the submissions made by the lawyers and provided a future date for the
case to be carried out. After watching this long case I left the court.
