Publisher's Synopsis
It would be difficult to find anyone more suited to bridge the gap between Aboriginal and white perspectives of Canada's justice system than Hon. A.C. Hamilton. A former associate chief justice of Manitoba's Court of Queen's Bench and co-chair of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, Judge Hamilton brings decades of compassionate experience to this critically important issue. Interweaving personal stories from his many years as a lawyer and judge with concrete recommendations for reform, Hamilton provides a sensitive blueprint for overhauling a system which is a clear failure for everyone involved. A feather, Not a Gavel is must reading for anyone who appreciates the need for change on this fundamental issue of "justice for all." -- from back cover.
