Back to our comfort zone - basics of criminal law! Today we bring you R v Maybin, an SCC seminal decision which deals with causation in the context of the Criminal Code. Before Karly takes you through the decision, Zach and Karly chat context, 'but for' causation, intervening acts, legal journalism, public legal knowledge, accessibility of legal education to the public, and putting criminal cases in the contexts in which they belong. Don't miss this important criminal decision - especially 1L students!
