Document Summary
Pols 3130 sept 25, 27, 29 lecture slides. 1 - dimensions of the judicial process: access to court, number of parties and role of the judge, fact-finding, mode of reasoning. In a democratic society, all persons have charter of rights regardless of the severity of history of crime. 6 - standing: canadian council of churches (1992) Doctrine developed in us courts to prevent courts from deciding questions that were inherently political rather than legal: reinforced notion of a separation of powers, courts adjudicate legal disputes, doctrine has been diluted in the us. What are references: anything that the government may have been asked. What impact might this have on the relationship between the judiciary and legislature/executive: blurs the lines of independence. Supreme court of canada was quite restrictive with interveners when charter was introduced: wanted to keep the number of people who participated in trial very limited. They wanted to control the process by restricting access (who can participate)
