This collection of essays authored by some of Canada's foremost human rights legislation scholars examines the impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms after twenty-five years of application and debate. Gathered under five major headings, they canvas a broad range of opinion on the progress of the Charter and how its evolution is shaped by jurisprudence, political pressures and current events.

Charter Interpretation and 'Dialogue' - helps to delineate the contours and current frontiers of the debate on judicial activism, as well as the impact of that debate not only on Charter interpretation but also on the political process.

Identity/Communities of Interest - seeks to provide better conceptual tools for dealing with the tension between individual and group rights.

Security and Liberty - explores the legal implications of the security initiatives that have come to the fore since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Globalization - presents the interplay of international human rights standards and the formation of the Charter.

Social and Economic Rights - considers the value in extending Charter protections to prohibit unfavourable treatment on socio-economic grounds.
