Jennifer Bond and David Wiseman step boldly into byzantine territory in “Shortchanging Justice:  The Arbitrary Relationship Between Refugee System Reform and Federal Legal Aid Funding“.  Their piece takes on the new refugee system and its implications for refugee legal aid programs in Ontario.  The administrative functioning of these two regimes are complex enough when analyzed independently and Bond and Wiseman do a wonderful job of drawing them together.  They demonstrate how the federal government failed to make the necessary links in aid of access to justice in reforming the asylum process.  If you haven’t kept up with the immigration and refugee reforms, or to the pressures on legal aid funding, then this piece is all the more important for its helpful overview of recent changes.
