The Supreme Court has developed four criminal law picklists, accessible via the links below, which suggest standard wording for common types of conditions that may be imposed in judicial interim release (bail), probation, and conditional sentence orders, and ancillary orders at sentencing. Court clerks have electronic access to the picklists in the courtroom, and the number codes associated with many of the conditions allow them to easily retrieve a particular condition when a judge orders it. Court clerks are also able to efficiently amend the wording of a condition if the judge decides to change it.

The picklists are intended for use as guides. Counsel and self-represented accused persons are encouraged to bring copies of relevant picklists to court for bail and sentencing proceedings and, as part of their submissions, refer the judge to conditions they propose should be included in an order. Anyone referring to a picklist condition must read the picklist number, if there is one, and the complete wording of the proposed condition on the record.

The picklists are not intended to be a comprehensive list of conditions that may be imposed in any given case - there are other types of conditions that may be appropriate in the circumstances. Further, it is always within the discretion of the presiding judge whether or not to use the picklist wording in an order.
