Episode 103 Addiction, Work, and Justice: What Are We Missing?

In this episode, CIAJ's Articling Student David Lazzam sits down with Jessyca Greenwood, Principal Lawyer at Greenwood Law, to discuss how the legal system responds to substance dependency in the workplace. Drawing from years of experience representing vulnerable clients, Jessyca explores common legal challenges, gaps in employer obligations, and the role of stigma in shaping outcomes. Together, they examine how specialized courts and diversion programs can help—or hinder—real change. From courtroom culture to systemic reform, this conversation highlights the need for compassion, accountability, and broader social supports to ensure that people struggling with addiction aren't left behind. Guest Jessyca Greenwood, Principal Lawyer at Greenwood Law (Toronto, ON) Host David Lazzam, Articling Student at the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice (Ottawa, ON)
