Pam Glatt
People: The Real Culprit Behind Wrongful Convictions
How does an innocent person spend decades behind bars for a murder they didn’t commit? As a society we often try to pin down the singular
cause—to discover what mistake, what specific individual led to this gross miscarriage of justice.
In this talk, Pam Glatt will explore the many intersecting and parallel causes for wrongful convictions and how human behaviour is at the heart of each of them. Though history shows that people are the causes of wrongful convictions, it also shows that people can be the solution.
PAM GLATT is the Director of Education at Innocence Canada, a national non-profit organization that works to overturn wrongful convictions. Over the past 31 years, Innocence Canada has helped exonerate 29 innocent people convicted of homicides and other violent crimes, and has become a national leader in wrongful conviction education and legal reform.
Pam is deeply passionate about advocating for the many innocent people whose lives have been upended by errors in our legal system. She spearheads the organization’s educational initiatives, from student recruitment to facilitating trainings, workshops and presentations for police, law students, advocacy groups and the wider public.
Prior to joining Innocence Canada, Pam spent over a decade teaching criminology at Simon Fraser University, University of Ottawa, University of Calgary, University of Western Ontario, and Toronto Metropolitan University. Pam obtained her JD, Master of Arts (Criminology/ Sociology), and Bachelor of Arts (Criminology/ Sociology) from the University of Western Ontario.

LECTURE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Of interest to the general public as well as to health-care professionals, this Distinguished Lecture Series in Family Medicine was inaugurated in 1990 and was made possible by an endowment by the late Dr. Hirsh Rosenfeld, a Montreal family physician. He was a staunch supporter of a number of educational activities and this lecture series is another example of his generosity.
