About this Event

Host Organization: Department of Law and Legal Studies | Jurisprudence Centre

Professors Devlin and Dodek will provide an overview of a current research project which brings together approximately 20 scholars from around the world to analyse and assess the multiple regulatory mechanisms that might be deployed to regulate a judiciary.

To frame the project, the authors provide a critique of the dominant paradigm that is deployed in most discussions of the judiciary and, drawing on contemporary regulation theory, replace it with what they call a regulatory pyramid. They will also specifically discuss several aspects of the regulation of judges in Canada to illustrate the utility of their framework.
