SUMMARY:Litigating Equality - Book Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Reflections on Litigating Equality in Canada:\nAn Asper Centre Book Launch Event\nPlease join us on Thursday January 16\, 2025 at 5pm for a special panel discussion to celebrate the launch of our publication\, Litigating Equality (Lexis Nexis\, 2024)! \nOver the past decade\, a number of decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada have revised the way that section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is applied to legislation and government action\, leaving the jurisprudence shifting and uncertain. In light of this\, the Asper Centre convened a full day symposium in 2023 to critically examine the status of equality litigation in Canada\, which resulted in a collection of papers that were published by Lexis Nexis in 2024 in Litigating Equality.  The book “delves into many of the resulting difficulties and offers strategies for litigators as well as carving out issues for future academic research. Contributors include leading scholars of equality and members of prominent advocacy groups for equality rights in Canada whose litigation efforts have helped to shape the concepts of substantive equality and discrimination.” \nThe panel event will include presentations from 4 of the contributors to the book and will be moderated by Prof Sophia Moreau\, the co-editor of the book. The panelists are: \nCheryl Milne – ED of the Asper Centre\, co-editor of Litigating Equality\, and co-author of “Analyzing the Treatment of Multiple Charter Claims: Judicial Restraint and the Case for Section 15” \nProf Anthony Sangiuliano – Author of “Finding Fault under Section 15 of the Charter: Miller J.A.’s Court of Appeal Dissent in Sharma” \nProf Margot Young – Author of “Zombie Concepts: Contagion in Canadian Equality Law” \nAdriel Weaver – Co-author or “Demonstrating Discrimination: Judicial Notice\, Legislative and Social Framework Facts and the Politics of Intervention” \nAll are Welcome * Light Refreshments * No Registration Required \n[If you cannot attend in person\, please join us by Zoom via this link: https://zoom.us/j/91355322394?pwd=KZuNhG6e2kvSLz0QvCMSrORYChJRoN.1 ]
