Upcoming JurisTalks Seminar Welcomes Return of Prof. James Allan

September 5, 2013

Professor James Allan, of the University of Queensland School of Law in Australia, returns on Friday, September 20th for a new lecture in the JurisTalks Seminar series, co-sponsored by the Arthur Kroeger College of Public Affairs and the Department of Law and Legal Studies.

His talk entitled, ‘Just a Spoonful of Charter Helps the Policy Go Down’, will consider how Canada’s Charter of Rights influences the shaping of public policy in Canada, with a comparison of Canada to Australia, where there is no national Bill of Rights. Professor Allan will argue that the Charter is, on the whole, a negative influence.
