Contextualism: The Supreme Court's New Standard Of Judicial Analysis And Accountability, Shalin Sugunasiri
Contextualism: The Supreme Court's New Standard Of Judicial Analysis And Accountability, Shalin Sugunasiri
Dalhousie Law Journal
Over the past few years, the "contextual approach" to law has acquired considerable cachet in juridical discourses across the country. In the Supreme Court of Canada, contextualism is now the new standard of judicial analysis and accountability This article analyzes a decade of Supreme court jurisprudence on Charter interpretation, statutory interpretation and the common law in order to fully explicate what contextualism in law is, where it came from, and how it has achieved its current pre-eminent status. The future promise of the contextual approach is also here canvassed through a dialectical engagement with postmodernist concerns respecting inherent legal indeterminacies.
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
Dalhousie Law Journal
Les Éditions Thémis publiaient en 1997 un livre intitulé La doctrine et l'interprétation du Code civil, par Me Sylvie Parent. Cette étude constitue le fruit de ses recherches et de sa réflection effectuées dans le cadre de ses travaux de maîtrise en droit à l'Université de Montreal; son directeur de thèse était le professeur Pieffe-André Côté, éminent auteur dans le domaine de l'interprétation des lois. C'est à ce dernier qu'est revenu l'honneur de rédiger la préface de cet ouvrage. Il n'a point hésité, à juste titre d'ailleurs, d'ajouter le nom de Me Parent à la liste d'auteurs contemporains ayant contribué, …
Jural Districting: Selecting Impartial Juries Through Community Representation, Kim Forde-Mazrui
Jural Districting: Selecting Impartial Juries Through Community Representation, Kim Forde-Mazrui
Vanderbilt Law Review
Court reformers continue to debate over efforts to select juries more diverse than are typically achieved through existing procedures. Controversial proposals advocate race-conscious methods for selecting diverse juries. Such efforts, however well-intentioned, face constitutional difficulties under the Equal Protection Clause, which appears to preclude any use of race in selecting juries. The challenge thus presented by the Court's equal protection jurisprudence is whether jury selection procedures can be designed that effectively enhance the representative character of juries without violating constitutional norms.
Professor Forde-Mazrui offers a novel insight for resolving this challenge. Analogizing juries to legislatures, he applies electoral districting principles …

The Supreme Court And Patent Law: Does Shallow Reasoning Lead To Thin Law, Donald S. Chisum
The Supreme Court And Patent Law: Does Shallow Reasoning Lead To Thin Law, Donald S. Chisum
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Professor Chisum explains that the role of the Federal Circuit Court as the "Supreme Court" of patent law may be changing. He notes the significance of recent United States Supreme Court cases addressing patent law issues. In addition, Professor Chisum evaluates the quality of recent landmark decisions in which the Court has examined patent issues. Chisum first notes that the general attitude of the Court reflects skepticism and hostility toward the patent system. In addition, Chisum considers the quality of reasoning undertaken by the Supreme Court and argues that, as opposed to the Federal Circuit, it is often weak, illogical, …
