The McGill Law Journal Podcast - Causing a Comeau-tion, Part Two

Causing a Comeau-tion, Part Two

The McGill Law Journal Podcast

play

09/25/18 • 16 min

Part one of Causing a Comeau-tion explored an attempt to break down interprovincial trade barriers in Canada through the use of litigation. In part two, we consider the consequences of the case. The Supreme Court ruled that the existing barriers to the sale of alcohol across provincial borders do not violate the constitution. While the case might initially appear to be a straightforward defeat for the litigants, the case could lead to other types of victories that prove it to be an example of successful legal mobilization. We get back in touch with Howard Anglin and Professor Christopher Manfredi, who share their thoughts on the decision and what its ultimate outcomes could be.

This podcast is by Adam Casey, Podcast Editor for volume 64 of the McGill Law Journal.

October 2nd marks the first day of the Supreme Court of Canada’s fall session.

Among the 30 cases ranging from freedom of religion, equality rights, and contract law– to name a few on the docket– what are some major cases to look out for? With news of the Chief Justice’s retirement at the end of the fall session, what can we gather from the McLachlin Court’s legacy? Could an early announcement of the next Chief Justice affect the dynamic of the Court this fall?

On this episode, we addressed all of these questions and everything in between with one of Canada’s senior constitutional scholars, Professor Jamie Cameron.

The words, interviews, and production of this podcast are by Emma Noradounkian, Podcast Editor for volume 63 of the McGill Law Journal.

The McGill Law Journal Podcast - Revenge Porn, Tort Law and the Protection of Privacy in Canada
play

05/11/16 • 22 min

You may have heard of revenge porn. But what legal recourse do you have if someone publicly shares a sexually intimate image or video of you? Does Canadian law respond adequately to such invasions of privacy? Are there broader systemic problems when the courts attempt to adjudicate on legal issues involving the internet?

Yuan Stevens and Sammy Cheaib use the 2016 Ontario Superior Court case Jane Doe 464533 v ND as a jumping off point for this vital discussion. We spoke with internet lawyer Allen Mendelsohn, civil liberties expert Cara Zwibel and comparative legal scholar Giorgio Resta to tackle this complex issue. This is part one of a two-part episode.

The McGill Law Journal Podcast - [Legal Fictions] The Life and Work of Professor Paul-André Crépeau
play

12/04/24 • 22 min

The late Professor Paul André Crépeau was a legendary figure in Quebec Civil Law and in the study of civil law at McGill. His work in the reform of the Civil Code, in the development of new theories in the law of obligations, as well as his contributions to comparative law, and legal academia spanned approximately six decades. In this episode, we discuss with Justice Nicholas Kasirer and Professor Élise Charpentier about the continued importance of Professor Crépeau’s contributions to legal pedagogy at McGill, his publications in the McGill Law Journal, and creation of the Paul-André Crépeau Center for Private and Comparative Law.

Note on the episode: The McGill Law Journal specifies that although many of the Civil Code Revision Office’s suggestions were accepted, the Quebec legislator did not accept them all in the drafting of the new Civil Code of Quebec, in force since 1994.

Le regretté professeur Paul-André Crépeau était une figure légendaire dans le droit civil québécois et dans l’étude du droit civil à McGill. Son travail sur la réforme du Code civil et sur le développement de nouvelles théories dans le droit des obligations, ainsi que ces contributions au droit comparé et au monde académique du droit s’étayait sur six décennies. Dans cet épisode, nous discutons avec le juge Nicholas Kasirer et la professeure Élise Charpentier par rapport à l’importance continue des contributions du professeur Crépeau à la pédagogie juridique à McGill, ses publications au sein de la Revue de droit de McGill, et la création du Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et comparé.

Note sur l'épisode: La Revue de droit de McGill tient à préciser que bien que plusieurs propositions du rapport de l’Office de révision du Code civil aient été acceptées, le législateur québécois ne les a pas tous suivies lors de la rédaction du nouveau Code civil du Québec, entré en vigueur en 1994.
