This collection of papers was developed from Runnymede Society’s March 2022 academic symposium, “The Unwritten Principle of Constitutionalism in Canadian Jurisprudence”. It explores the topic of dissatisfaction with the state of constitutional interpretive methodology in Canadian law.
Grounded on the intuition that the legal profession supports the rule of law, these 6 papers examine the historical perspective on threats to the rule of law, the sufficiency of the current Canadian legal framework to support this ideal and how the principle of stare decisis as observed by the Supreme Court of Canada undermines the spirit of the rule of law.
