May 5 | JurisTalk – Regulating Judges: Expanding the Horizons
May 5, 2015 at 11:00 AM
| Location: | D492 Loeb Building |
| Cost: | Free |
| Audience: | null |
With visiting scholar, Prof. Richard Devlin, Schulich School of Law (Dalhouse University) and Prof. Adam Dodek, Faculty of Law – Common Law (University of Ottawa)
Professors Devlin and Dodek will provide an overview of a current research project which brings together approximately 20 scholars from around the world to analyse and assess the multiple regulatory mechanisms that might be deployed to regulate a judiciary.
To frame the project, the authors provide a critique of the dominant paradigm that is deployed in most discussions of the judiciary and, drawing on contemporary regulation theory, replace it with what they call a regulatory pyramid. They will also specifically discuss several aspects of the regulation of judges in Canada to illustrate the utility of their framework.
