Abstract
The Canadian criminal justice system has long been criticized for its over-incarceration of First Nations peoples. In response, Parliament required that courts consider the unique circumstances impacting First Nations persons before passing sentence, and in particular before imposing a sentence of imprisonment. Although these efforts are important for reconciling relations between First Nations people and Canada, scholars have paid inadequate attention to whether the process in which the vast majority of sentencing hearings are conducted might also hinder reconciliation. In this article, I contend that the traditional order of sentencing submissions will generally fail to facilitate important dialogue between state representatives and First Nations people. I propose that reversing the order in which counsel make sentencing submissions would allow for a dialogical approach to sentencing that would better ensure that First Nations offenders feel they are treated fairly by the criminal justice system.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
