Sexual Assault Training for Judges in Canada is a mandatory sexual assault training for federal judges under the Canadian federal and provincial governments as response to recent events and a growing amount of media attention. Federally, Bill C-337 was introduced by Rona Ambrose, former interim Conservative leader, in 2017 as a response to national outrage against Robin Camp, an Alberta judge who resigned from the Federal Court in 2018 after allegations of mishandling a sexual assault case heard in his court.[1]
Certain Canadian provinces, like Prince Edward Island[2] have also adopted legislative initiatives to introduce mandatory sexual assault training for provincial judges. There have also been non-governmental efforts to spread the prevalence sexual assault education to Canadian judges.[3]
