As a subject of comparative constitutional law, Canada is a fascinating case. It has a parliamentary-style government and a federal system very different from that of the United States. Yet its constitutional system also similar in many ways–in its protections for civil liberties, for instance, or its increasingly powerful Supreme Court. What lessons can we learn from a tour of Canadian constitutionalism? Join the Constitutional Law Center for a discussion of this fascinating topic with a very special guest, the Hon. Russell Brown, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
