The Role Of The Judiciary In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Christine Boyle
The Role Of The Judiciary In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Christine Boyle
Dalhousie Law Journal
My topic is the role of the judiciary in the work of Madame Justice Wilson, but I am going to use a particular focus. I started with the famous lecture "Do Women Judges Really Make a Difference" delivered at Osgoode Hall Law School7 and it helped me think of a question. What is it that women judges might make a difference to? One answer is the law, another is judging itself. These themes were very clear in Madame Justice Wilson's lecture. Another answer, however, is the concept of woman. When women judges make a difference to law, part of what …

Dworkin And The Doctrine Of Judicial Discretion, David Jennex
Dworkin And The Doctrine Of Judicial Discretion, David Jennex
Dalhousie Law Journal
In a series of books and articles published over the last thirty years, Ronald Dworkin has relentlessly attacked the positivist view according to which law is a species of empirically verifiable fact. A position closely associated with this view, and with which Dworkin also takes issue, is the doctrine of judicial discretion. This doctrine asserts that in hard cases - cases in which it is unclear what the law requires - there is no legally required dispensation, so that judges are entitled to use discretion in making their decision. Dworkin disagrees, maintaining that in many such cases a thorough investigation …
Reasoning With The Charter, Gerald Tg Seniuk
Reasoning With The Charter, Gerald Tg Seniuk
Dalhousie Law Journal
Reasoning with the Charter by Leon Trakman is a timely and useful book. It is "timely" because in this the tenth anniversary of the Charter it is appropriate to review its impact, which Prof. Trakman finds wanting and unduly circumscribing. It is also useful, although "useful" is not a term usually associated with a theoreticalbook such as this. Certainly this is not a "how-to" book about Charter application. It does, however, outline a different approach to Charter interpretation and it may be that the neglect by our judges of this approach is a mistake. Perhaps not; but there are at …

The Judge As Political Candidate, Hans A. Linde
The Judge As Political Candidate, Hans A. Linde
Cleveland State Law Review
Judges are expected to satisfy two conflicting ideals. First, they are to follow the law without fear or favor, regardless of personal sympathies and preferences, to "adjudicate" rather than to "legislate." Second, they are to reach results that are preferred by or at least acceptable to their communities. The first ideal requires judicial independence and job security. Elective judgeships are sometimes defended as serving the second. We have gone through a third public examination of a Supreme Court nominee in which the Senate and the public considered it important to question the nominee about his views of the major issues …

Judges’ Pet Peeves Ii, K.K. Duvivier
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
The last Scrivener (November issue at page 2257) focused on a leading complaint that four Denver District Court judges identified when I polled them last summer. Recently, I have discussed legal writing problems with a few justices of the Colorado Supreme Court and judges of the Colorado Court of Appeals. This column focuses on some of the concerns voiced by these judges.
