Postcard from the Edge (of Empire)

This article in scrapbook form represents the endeavour of the eight authors to document a recent, collective, academic journey. The project was one embarked upon as a means to explore tensions between the ideas of embodiment that connected our work, and the rigidities of academic convention. Using various media, this article strives, in substance and form, to provoke, challenge and confront its audience into dialogue, while simultaneously asking questions about the limits of our own legal imaginations.

Insite: Site and Sight

The Insite case is a great study for students of constitutional law. The twinning of a claim of interjurisdictional immunity—in a somewhat novel application to provincial jurisdiction—to the assertion by some of Canada’s most marginalized citizens of the fundamental freedoms of life, liberty, and security of the person delivers a compact and compelling recitation of basic features of Canada’s constitutional landscape.
