I just want to say quickly that my experience was a complete anomaly. The crown had an excellent analysis of sex assault law, the judge was an expert in sexual assault, yet I was absolutely brutalized through cross-examination. The crown is terrified of objecting to problematic lines of questioning, because it's so normalized in the courtroom.
The case has now gone to appeal because the judge was too educated on sexual assault, and it looks as though the conviction will be overturned. I think it's largely about changing the norms of what is acceptable in the courtroom, because it has become so normalized that even those actors who have this expertise and education are viewed as biased or are afraid of objecting to particular lines of questioning because they're worried about its being appealed to a higher court.
Even with the education, I think it's more a question of changing the landscape of a sex assault trial as it currently stands.
