Barbara Louise JackmanCM (born October 23, 1950) is a Canadian lawyer specializing in immigration and refugee law,[1] with particular emphasis on cases involving domestic violence and international human rights issues, torture and other cruel or unusual punishment, allegations of membership in and/or support of terrorist organizations, the rights and protections afforded by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Canada's responsibilities under international treaties. She has been described as being one of Canada's most effective advocates for immigration and refugee rights.[2][3]

She is actively involved in law reform, and has provided evidence before Standing Committees on Citizenship and Immigration of the House of Commons of Canada[7][8] as well as proceedings before the Senate of Canada regarding the Anti-terrorism Act, S.C. 2001, c.41, the Canadian special advocate system, and the effects of Canadian law on people involved in domestic violence status proceedings, including Hassan Almrei, Adil Charkaoui, Mahmoud Jaballah and Mohammad Zeki Mahjoub.[9] She has also authored several publications which speak to issues of reform of the Canadian refugee determination system.[10][11][12][13]
