In this episode, managing editor Tim Wilbur sits down with Toronto criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger, named one of Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in 2025, for a candid conversation about his three decades on the front lines of sexual assault and domestic violence prosecutions. Neuberger discusses why he calls wrongful accusations a “hidden crisis,” how investigative tunnel vision and digital evidence practices can derail cases, and what the R. v. F.Z. decision means for recognizing male victims of coercive control. He also discusses mentoring the next generation of defence counsel, building community through fundraising, and why he launched the Not On Record podcast to promote a more balanced conversation about criminal justice in Canada.
