One of the things the College is most adept at addressing is any attack, however indirect, on access to justice. It remains a fundamental tenet of the College—as does judicial independence, a foundational construct of the Rule of Law—that access to justice must continue to be unimpeded for all, regardless of the socio-economic status of the litigant. To avoid resolution ‘in the streets’ of civil disputes, our will need to be vigilant to ensure as much pro bono government is entrusted with promulgating and main- work as possible continues to be undertaken, almost taining an accessible civil justice system.

Bussey, represented the CCCC at the Supreme Court of Canada’s virtual hearing today (Dec 9) in the case of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church of Canada St. Mary Cathedral, et al. v. Teshome Aga, (39094). CCCC was granted the opportunity to intervene in the case, and to file a brief, but was not given time for oral argument. Brief fact summary Several members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church St. Mary Cathedral were on a committee that investigated a movement within the congregation. The committee reported to Archbishop Dimetros that the movement was heretical. The committee recommended action, including purging of heretics. When Archbishop Dimetros did not follow their recommendations, the committee members were robust in their opposition – to the point that they were warned of church discipline. Finally, they were suspended from membership. In response, they then sued in court. The church in return asked for summary judgment to dismiss the lawsuit. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice agreed with the church and dismissed the disgruntled members’ lawsuit, noting that the courts have no jurisdiction to hear such cases. However, the members appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal stated that courts could hear the case because there was a contract between the members and the church.

  • Carissima Mathen*
    C h o ic es a n d C o n t r o v e r sy : J udic ia l A ppointments in C a n a d a Carissima Mathen* P a r t I What do judges do? As an empirical matter, judges settle disputes. They act as a check on both the executive and legislative branches. They vindicate human rights and civil liberties. They arbitrate jurisdictional conflicts. They disagree. They bicker. They change their minds. In a normative sense, what judges “do” depends very much on one’s views of judging. If one thinks that judging is properly confined to the law’s “four comers”, then judges act as neutral, passive recipients of opinions and arguments about that law.1 They consider arguments, examine text, and render decisions that best honour the law that has been made. If judging also involves analysis of a society’s core (if implicit) political agreements—and the degree to which state laws or actions honour those agreements—then judges are critical players in the mechanisms through which such agreement is tested. In post-war Canada, the judiciary clearly has taken on the second role as well as the first. Year after year, judges are drawn into disputes over the very values of our society, a trend that shows no signs of abating.2 In view of judges’ continuing power, and the lack of political appetite to increase control over them (at least in Canada), it is natural that attention has turned to the process by which persons are nominated and ultimately appointed to the bench.

He stated: “I am very pleased that in the legacy of our late colleague, John Sopinka, another member of the Court has been selected directly from the legal profession. It is important that this Court always be aware of the realities of the practising Bar so that we do not lose sight of the practical effect of our judgments.

However, he will not be sitting that week, nor during the two following weeks as the Court is in recess, in order that he may prepare for the Quebec Reference case which will proceed, as scheduled, during the week of February 16th.

  • Summaries of Petitioner and Amicus Briefs
    Summaries of Petitioner and Amicus Briefs “Having spent decades overseeing the cases of juvenile offenders and thus having witnessed first-hand their remarkable resilience, amici strongly believe that the criminal justice system cannot predict what kind of person a fifteen- year-old juvenile offender will be when he is 35, or 55, or 75. Rather, there should be some meaningful opportunity for the system to reassess whether incarceration remains necessary for these offenders after they have had the opportunity to grow, mature, and change.” - Brief of Former Juvenile Court Judges In Support of Petitioners Jackson and Miller “To deprive adolescents, who are neurologically less capable than adults of acting rationally and understanding consequences, who are substantially affected by the influence of peers and their surroundings, and who are virtually certain to mature and evolve with support and proper environmental influence, of ‘any opportunity to achieve maturity of judgment and self-recognition of human worth and potential’ is contrary to the standards of decency that define a just society.” - Brief of Mental Health Experts In Support of Petitioners Jackson and Miller PPeettiittiioonneerrss’’ BBrriieeffss Jackson v.

  • “Canada” on the Supreme Court in 2016
    DRAFT | CPSA 2017 Please don’t cite without permission Competing Diversities: Representing “Canada” on the Supreme Court in 2016 Erin Crandall | Acadia University Robert Schertzer | University of Toronto The Supreme Court oF Canada’s (SCC) inFluence on politics and public policy – from deciding human rights cases to adjudicating Federal-provincial disputes – has long placed it in the spotlight oF political actors and watchers alike. Seeing the Court as activist or restrained, as siding with the Federal government or as balanced in its Federalism case law, as anti-democratic or the guardian oF the constitution, are all hallmarks oF the debate about its place in Canadian politics. Underpinning these debates is an often-critical focus on the justices’ themselves, the process by which they are selected, and the virtually unFettered power Prime Ministers have had in appointing individuals to the bench. In August 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clearly established his position within this debate by announcing a new way to choose SCC justices. Along with promoting more transparency and accountability in the process, the key elements oF Trudeau’s proposed reForms were to ensure that all future justices were functionally bilingual and that they represent the diversity of Canada (see Trudeau 2016b). In line with these new objectives, one oF the First things Trudeau highlighted in his announcement was a willingness to break with the convention of regional representation on the bench and move toward an open application process. With the upcoming retirement of Nova Scotia Justice Thomas Cromwell in September 2016, questions immediately emerged as to whether the government would deviate from the tradition of having one of the nine justices on the SCC come from Atlantic Canada.
