9:05 Judge Jerry Paradis

Jerry Paradis retired as a judge for the Provincial Court of British Columbia in 2003. During his time on the bench, he dealt with over a thousand cases involving the possession, trafficking or production of drugs.

His experiences led him to become a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), an organisation comprised of current and former members of the law enforcement and criminal justice communities who speak out about the failures of existing drug policies. He is visiting New Zealand as an Executive Board Member of LEAP to present to the NZ Law Commission's review on Drug Policy and the Law, and to undertake speaking engagements around the country from 20 August to 7 September. His next engagement is in Wellington on 27 August.
