Mass-market boilerplate impacts access to justice when it deletes rights to redress of grievances. Such deletion of rights leads to normative degradation because it undermines agreement, the basis of justifiable contractual enforcement, and it leads to democratic degradation because it undermines the basis of civil society and the Rule of Law. A brief comparison of US and Canadian common-law suggests that Canada’s legal system is less willing to allow these inroads into access to justice.","PeriodicalId":56232,"journal":{"name":"Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice","volume":"33 1","pages":"177-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2139/SSRN.2735011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47764413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Une idee du reste avancee aussi bien par des observateurs du monde judiciaire (professeurs, journalistes) que par des acteurs qui en sont parties prenantes (avocats, juges, ministres de la Justice) et qui, partant, trouve echo non seulement au sein de la societe civile, mais egalement a l’interieur du cercle ferme, etanche, que constitue l’appareil judiciaire. Cette idee, c’est celle de placer le citoyen au coeur du systeme de justice civile. Dans l’optique de mieux comprendre cette proposition, qu’elle rebaptise « l’idee de recentrage », l’auteure s’emploie a la contextualiser. Elle mene cet exercice de contextualisation en deux temps. Ainsi, elle se penche d’abord sur les contextes d’emergence de l’idee de recentrage, avant de mettre au jour ses fondements justificatifs ou sa philosophie sous-jacente. This article looks into an idea which, today, seems to be on everyone’s lips. An idea put forward by observers of the legal world (academics, journalists) as well as by actors and decision makers taking part in it, and that is, thus, echoed not only in civil society, but also within the legal community’s inner circle. This idea is the following: to put the citizen at the very heart of the civil justice system. To assist in understanding this idea, which she calls “recentring”, the author provides the context in which it emerged. She does so in a two-step process: she first examines the background against which this recentring was first proposed; she then identifies its underlying justification, or the philosophy on which it is based.","PeriodicalId":56232,"journal":{"name":"Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice","volume":"33 1","pages":"141-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44465469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet scholarship exploring CLE’s accomplishment of these aims is scant and generally focuses only on student outcomes. This literature appears to be based not on theory and results, but hope: the hope that changed students will change the world. To invest on hope alone is unwise, particularly when all stakeholders face financially precarious times. In this context, this article argues that the existing focus on student outcomes is disproportionate and unhelpful. The existing narrow focus on student outcomes marginalizes other stakeholders and creates significant blind spots in program evaluation. This article proposes a broader analysis that would ask what value systems and power distribution CLE programs themselves create or reinforce, focusing on both the immediate impact of CLE programming and reinforcing the values human rights education seeks to inculcate by incorporating these into the structure of CLE programs themselves. Aux quatre coins du monde, le discours sur l’enseignement juridique clinique est empreint d’une soif de promouvoir la justice sociale et de defendre les droits de la personne. Pourtant, les travaux des universitaires portant sur l’atteinte de ces objectifs sont rares et se concentrent generalement sur les resultats touchant les etudiants. Ces ecrits semblent fondes non pas sur des theories et des resultats mais sur l’espoir : l’espoir que des etudiants transformes transformeront le monde. Miser sur l’espoir seul est une erreur, surtout quand tous les intervenants sont aux prises avec la precarite financiere. Dans ce contexte, l’auteure de cet article soutient que les efforts actuels cibles sur les resultats touchant les etudiants sont disproportionnes et inutiles. Ce ciblage etroit marginalise les autres intervenants et cree de gros angles morts dans l’evaluation des programmes. Dans son article, l’auteure propose une analyse elargie qui pose la question de savoir quels systemes de valeurs et quelle repartition des pouvoirs les programmes d’enseignement juridique clinique creent ou renforcent, l’accent etant mis sur les repercussions immediates de ces programmes et sur le renforcement des valeurs que l’education aux droits de la personne humaine semble inculquer par l’integration de ces valeurs dans la structure meme des programmes en question.","PeriodicalId":56232,"journal":{"name":"Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice","volume":"33 1","pages":"45-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45021213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the idea of access to justice in the reform of personal injury law in New Zealand. Our findings are applicable to law reform in any area of law involving vulnerable people. After tracing the legal history of “access to justice,” we isolate four separate conceptions of access to justice: equality before the law, a hybrid of judicial and non-judicially focused conceptions that we have called the multifactorial conception, and conceptions emphasizing either judicial or non-judicial elements. We identify key features of each conception, and its strengths and weaknesses, in order to improve the quality of dialogue in law reform efforts. We conclude by considering the implications of our findings for law, which allow comparisons to be made between systems of law and law reform that aim to improve access to justice.

Leurs conclusions sont applicables a la reforme du droit dans n’importe quel domaine touchant les personnes sans defense. Apres avoir reconstitue l’histoire juridique de l’« acces a la justice », les auteurs isolent quatre conceptions distinctes de cette notion : l’egalite en droit, une conception hybride comportant des elements judiciaires et non judiciaires et des conceptions privilegiant soit les elements judiciaires, soit les elements non judiciaires. Les auteurs cernent les principales caracteristiques de chacune de ces conceptions, leurs forces et leurs faiblesses afin d’ameliorer la qualite du dialogue dans les efforts de reforme du droit.

Baglay","doi":"10.22329/WYAJ.V33I2.4845","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22329/WYAJ.V33I2.4845","url":null,"abstract":"This article reviews and analyzes recent Canadian jurisprudence on immigration-related torts, situating it in the context of the contrasting logic of immigration and tort law. Immigration law’s focus on the absolute power of the state to control admission directs courts away from the recognition of the duty of care. In contrast, tort law theory does not preclude the possibility of private law duties to non-citizens, especially in light of the absence of other effective remedies to address the power imbalance between the host state and the non-citizen. The article examines how these two narratives were negotiated in cases of alleged negligence in immigration processing. It problematizes certain aspects of the current construction of the duty of care towards non-citizens and offers some suggestions for a more nuanced understanding of the factors considered under the Anns/Cooper test . Dans cet article, l’auteure examine et analyse la jurisprudence canadienne recente des delits civils relatifs a l’immigration en la situant dans le contexte de la logique d’opposition du droit de l’immigration et du droit de la responsabilite civile delictuelle. Le droit de l’immigration, qui est centre sur le pouvoir absolu de l’Etat de controler l’admission d’immigrants, fait oublier aux tribunaux la reconnaissance du devoir de diligence. En revanche, la theorie du droit de la responsabilite civile delictuelle n’ecarte pas la possibilite d’obligations de droit prive envers des non-nationaux, surtout en l’absence d’autres recours applicables pour resoudre le desequilibre de pouvoir entre l’Etat d’accueil et le non-national. Dans cet article, l’auteure etudie la maniere dont ces deux discours ont ete concilies dans des cas de negligence presumee dans le traitement de demandes d’immigration.

{"title":"RECONCILIATION IN TRANSLATION: INDIGENOUS LEGAL TRADITIONS AND CANADA’S TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION","authors":"Kirsten Anker","doi":"10.22329/WYAJ.V33I2.4842","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22329/WYAJ.V33I2.4842","url":null,"abstract":"One of the key elements of reconciliation identified in the recent final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada [TRC] is the revitalization of Indigenous law and legal traditions. Indeed, the practices of the TRC itself have attempted to embody this principle. However, a concern about state-sponsored reconciliation is that the recognition of Indigenous legal traditions is an empty gesture without a robust engagement with them. This article offers one possible method for outsiders to engage with Indigenous traditions in a way that goes beyond lip service and beyond the limitations of superficial forms of recognition in which equivalence is too quickly assumed. By paying attention to the ways that Indigenous principles and practices are embedded in a network of ideas about the world, a picture of a whole “legal sensibility” emerges that, through comparison, shows the dominant legal sensibility to be one alternative among many. In this way, reconciliation is approached as a process of “unsettling” what is taken for 4granted in mainstream understandings of reconciliation and law. Un des principaux elements de la reconciliation etablis dans le recent rapport final de la Commission de verite et reconciliation du Canada [CVR] est la revitalisation du droit autochtone et des traditions juridiques autochtones. A vrai dire, la CVR elle-meme a tente d’integrer ce principe dans ses pratiques. Cependant, une des craintes relatives a la reconciliation chapeautee par l’Etat est que la reconnaissance des traditions juridiques autochtones soit un geste vain si elle n’est pas accompagnee d’un engagement ferme. Dans cet article, l’auteure presente un moyen possible de permettre aux profanes d’integrer les traditions autochtones en depassant les vœux pieux et les limites des formes superficielles de reconnaissance dans lesquelles l’equivalence est trop vite supposee. Lorsqu’on est attentif aux facons dont on integre les principes et pratiques autochtones a une conception du monde, l’image d’une « sensibilite juridique » tout entiere se degage qui, par la comparaison, montre que la sensibilite juridique dominante n’est qu’une sensibilite parmi de nombreuses autres. Ainsi, la reconciliation est abordee comme une demarche consistant a « decoloniser » ce qui est tenu pour acquis dans la conception habituelle de la reconciliation et du droit.","PeriodicalId":56232,"journal":{"name":"Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice","volume":"33 1","pages":"15-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44536537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In BC, courts following Powley in three cases – R v Howse, R v Nunn and R v Willison – have held there are no historic Metis communities in the Kootenays, the south Okanagan, or the Kamloops/Shuswap area.  Although these regions comprise only a portion of lands within provincial boundaries, the BC government takes the position there are no Metis communities in the province capable of meeting the Powley test , and thus asserts there can be no Metis Aboriginal rights holders in BC. To challenge this position, and in order to illustrate the multiplicity and richness of Metis legal understandings of territory and community, the author braids family history, narrative, legal analysis and the perspectives of 23 Metis people from the southern BC interior who were involved in or affected by the Howse, Nunn and Willison cases.  The author suggests that expansive and nuanced Metis understandings of communities and territories cannot be encompassed by the Powley/Willison definition of a Metis community as “... a group of Metis with a distinctive collective identity, living together in the same geographic area and sharing a common way of life”.  While the court’s definition posits history, territory and community as separable, Metis views suggest these concepts are interlinked and mutually constitutive.  Les idees des Metis au sujet du territoire sont complexes, diversifiees et souvent mal comprises. Dans la meme veine, les tribunaux canadiens ne comprennent pas les points de vue des Metis sur les liens entre le territoire et la communaute. C’est ce qui ressort des difficultes qu’eprouvent les defenseurs des droits des Metis en Colombie-Britannique, ou les perceptions erronees au sujet de l’histoire des Metis et des secteurs qu’ils utilisent a des fins traditionnelles ont incite les tribunaux a douter de l’existence de communautes metisses historiques dans la province. Selon l'arret cle concernant les droits des Metis au Canada, R. c. Powley, ceux qui revendiquent des droits sont tenus de prouver l’existence d’une communaute metisse historique dans un secteur ou les droits revendiques sont exerces. Dans la foulee de l’arret Powley, les tribunaux de la Colombie-Britannique ont conclu, dans les decisions R. c. Howse, R. c. Nunn et R. c.

The late elder Basil Johnston said that we can talk of dabaadendiziwin /humility, but until we can look at the squirrel sitting on the branch and know we are no greater and no less than her, it is only then that we have walked with dabaadendiziwin /humility. Law places diverse peoples together in complicated situations. It challenges people to step outside of themselves and consider new ways of being. This paper advocates that humility is an important legal principle to bring people together in a good way. It considers first, what is humility and why is it an important legal principle? Second, what processes are in place in both Canadian and Anishinaabe law to actively cultivate humility? And third, how can diverse peoples use these processes when interacting with one another in ways that foster greater harmony in this multi-juridical country? The examples show that Canadian colonial law has tried to account for the need to humble oneself to a position of being teachable through Charter analyses, diversifying the bench, and through Aboriginal rights doctrines of taking into account the “aboriginal perspective”, and reconciliation. The paper also considers how Anishinaabe law fosters humility through linguistic structure, leadership structure, ceremonial practices and akinoomaage (learning from the earth). This paper is a call for people to confront the challenge of working across legal orders, and replace timidity, fear and pride with courage, gratitude and humility.
