SUMMARY:RDV: Regulating Judges in a Modern Democracy: Insights from Canada
DESCRIPTION:In this RDV-seminar\, professor Richard Devlin and professor Sheila Wildeman\, both from the Schulich School of Law from the Dalhousie University\, Canada\, will present their co-authored paper that outlines eight general principles for democratically defensible complaints and discipline for judges. The paper also provides a critical analysis of the new 2023 legislative reforms to the judicial discipline process in Canada\, using the theoretical framework established in the books “Regulating Judges” and “Disciplining Judges”. The arguments in these books are relevant to any democratic society\, while the case study in the co-authored paper applies the theory to a particular jurisdiction. The seminar will be of interest to anyone interested in the intersection of law\, democracy\, and judicial accountability. \nAbout the speakers \nRichard Devlin is a renowned Canadian law professor at Dalhousie University.
