Book Synopsis Policy Change, Courts, and the Canadian Constitution by : Emmett Macfarlane
Download or read book Policy Change, Courts, and the Canadian Constitution written by Emmett Macfarlane and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy Change, Courts, and the Canadian Constitution aims to further our understanding of judicial policy impact and the role of the courts in shaping policy change. Bringing together a group of political scientists and legal scholars, this volume delves into a diverse set of policy areas, including health care issues, the regulation of elections, criminal justice policy, minority language education, citizenship, refugee policy, human rights legislation, and Indigenous policy. While much of the public law and judicial politics literatures focus on the impact of the constitution and the judicial role, scholarship on courts that makes policy change its central lens of analysis is surprisingly rare. Multidisciplinary in its approach to examining policy issues, this book focuses on specific cases or policy issues through a wide-ranging set of approaches, including the use of interview data, policy analysis, historical and interpretive analysis, and jurisprudential analysis.

Book Synopsis Judicial Activism and the Democratic Rule of Law by : Sonja C. Grover
Download or read book Judicial Activism and the Democratic Rule of Law written by Sonja C. Grover and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author argues that judicial activism in respect of the protection of human rights and dignity and the right to due process is an essential element of the democratic rule of law in a constitutional democracy as opposed to being ‘judicial overreach’. Selected recent case law is explored from the US and Canadian Supreme Courts as well as the European Court of Human Rights illustrating that these Courts have, at times, engaged in judicial activism in the service of providing equal protection of the law and due process to the powerless but have, on other occasions, employed legalistic but insupportable strategies to sidestep that obligation.The book will be of interest to those with a deep concern regarding the factors that influence judicial decision-making and the judiciary's role through judgments in promoting and preserving the underpinnings of democracy. This includes legal researchers, the judiciary, practicing counsel and legal academics and law students as well as those in the area of democracy studies, in addition to scholars in the fields of sociology and philosophy of law.

Book Synopsis The Judicial Application of Human Rights Law by : Nihal Jayawickrama
Download or read book The Judicial Application of Human Rights Law written by Nihal Jayawickrama and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 2109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, over 165 countries have incorporated human rights standards into their legal systems: the resulting jurisprudence from diverse cultural traditions creates new dimensions to concepts first articulated in 1948. In this revised second edition, Nihal Jayawickrama draws on extensive sources to encapsulate the judicial interpretation of human rights law in one comprehensive volume. Jayawickrama covers the case law of the superior courts of 103 countries in America, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, as well as jurisprudence of human rights monitoring bodies. He analyses the judicial application of human rights law to demonstrate empirically the universality of contemporary human rights norms. This definitive volume is essential for legal practitioners, and government and non-governmental officials, as well as academics and students of both constitutional law and the international law of human rights.
Book Synopsis The Rights Revolution by : Charles R. Epp
Download or read book The Rights Revolution written by Charles R. Epp and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that the scope of individual rights has expanded dramatically in the United States over the last half-century. Less well known is that other countries have experienced "rights revolutions" as well. Charles R. Epp argues that, far from being the fruit of an activist judiciary, the ascendancy of civil rights and liberties has rested on the democratization of access to the courts—the influence of advocacy groups, the establishment of governmental enforcement agencies, the growth of financial and legal resources for ordinary citizens, and the strategic planning of grass roots organizations. In other words, the shift in the rights of individuals is best understood as a "bottom up," rather than a "top down," phenomenon. The Rights Revolution is the first comprehensive and comparative analysis of the growth of civil rights, examining the high courts of the United States, Britain, Canada, and India within their specific constitutional and cultural contexts. It brilliantly revises our understanding of the relationship between courts and social change.
Book Synopsis Debating Rights Inflation in Canada by : Dominique Clément
Download or read book Debating Rights Inflation in Canada written by Dominique Clément and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights has become the dominant vernacular for framing social problems around the world. In this book, Dominique Clément presents a paradox in politics, law, and social practice: he argues that whereas framing grievances as human rights violations has become an effective strategy, the increasing appropriation of rights-talk to frame any and all grievances undermines attempts to address systemic social problems. His argument is followed by commentator response from several leading human rights scholars and practitioners in Canada and abroad who bridge the divide between academia, public policy, and practice.
