A Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta justice has excused all unvaccinated potential jurors in an upcoming Calgary jury trial. Justice Nicholas E. Devlin ruled that the administration of justice is better served as a result. The case doesn’t relate to vaccines, so juror safety can be a priority for the justice, says Lorian Hardcastle, a health law and policy professor at the University of Calgary. Trials must proceed as quickly as possible, said Juliet Guichon, associate professor of law and ethics at the University of Calgary. The chief justice of Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered that only fully vaccinated Ontarians will be able to serve as jurors for the time being.
