Bibliographic record
Abstract
For the first time, Osgoode Hall Law School at York University is hosting four visitors, from March 6 to 17, through the Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA) Judicial Internship Program.\nThis new program, made possible by a Government of Canada grant, provides the interns (established professionals in their fields) with an opportunity to study overseas, in an effort to foster judicial reform and increase access to justice in the Americas region. This year’s interns have come from Argentina, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago to conduct research on topics ranging from Aboriginal rights to small claims litigation, alternative dispute resolution and access to information.\n“We are excited to be able to contribute to this important international initiative on justice reform, and anticipate a fruitful collaboration with the JSCA,” said Carys Craig, associate dean (Research and Institutional Relations) at Osgoode. “We are delighted to host the interns and look forward to seeing the research that they produce in support of civil procedure reform processes in their home countries.”\nThis year’s interns are:\nCarolina Ahumada – a criminal law specialist who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she works in the Judicial Branch of the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation. She has been director of the Access to Justice area of Instituto de Estudios Comparados en Ciencias Penales y Sociales (INECIP), and coordinator and head since 2015 of the “Houses of Justice Pilot Project” in Sanagasta, province of La Rioja.\nKamla Jo Braithwaite – an attorney at law from Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. Since 2010, she has been a judicial researcher for the Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago. She currently works at the Judicial Education Institute of Trinidad and Tobago, assisting with the publication of handbooks and bench books (for use in court) and other material, as well as the formulation and facilitation of training programs for judges, judicial officers and other staff.\nFernando Kosovsky – a lawyer from Buenos Aires who has been involved with Grupo de Apoyo Juridico por el Acceso a la Tierra (GAJAT), Centro de Políticas Públicas para el Socialismo and INECIP. Since 2004, he has litigated the Mapuche people’s territory claims in Patagonia. He is a founding member of AADI, Asociación de Abogados/as de Derecho Indígena, and co-author of Propiedad Comunitaria Indígena (2015).\nShoshanna V.

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.
