“Air India Trial” on the Internet

The Law Courts Education Society is helping people around the world follow the Air India trial over the Internet. On Trial is an educational Web site with trial updates alongside public legal educational content. The purpose is to help people understand the trial’s developments through education about the justice system in B.C. and Canada.

On Trial was conceived after the University of Glasgow in Scotland successfully produced a Web site about the Lockerbie trial, where two men were tried in relation to the 1988 tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103. On Trial marks the first time a Web site of this kind has been launched in Canada, but it is not expected to be the last. The Law Courts Education Society plans to create On Trial Web sites for other significant Canadian trials as part of its ongoing mandate.

To visit On Trial – “Air India Trial”, go to www.airindiatrial.ca.
