Product description
While much ink has been spent assessing the substance and scope of the rule of law as an organizing legal principle, relatively little attention has been given to what the Supreme Court of Canada has identified as its companion principle: constitutionalism.
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. The book features a special foreword by The Honourable Russell Brown and will be of interest to judges, lawyers and scholars.
This volume marks a concerted effort by an intellectually diverse range of scholars to reflect not only on the substance and scope of the unwritten principle of constitutionalism, but also on what it means to be a constitutionalist.
