Отрывок из книги

First, I would like to acknowledge the Supreme Court of Canada. Over the decades, the membership of this nine-person Court has altered through retirement (mandatory at age seventy-five) or death. Increasingly, the Court has tried to hand down judgments that come ever closer to being decisions that can be read, understood, and discussed by those who want to be informed about the structure of our law, of our government, and more importantly, of our society’s values. So, I thank — most profusely — the Supreme Court of Canada.

A second link in the chain between the law and the people is the media. It is possible, of course, in our highly computerized society to read the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada online, but that can be an arduous process. On occasion, magazines such as Maclean’s feature a particular subject for investigative reporting, in which the Supreme Court of Canada’s judgments (such as those relating to tobacco) may form a part. Newspapers such as the Toronto Star may select a story reflecting a matter of social concern, such as bullying. And, on a daily basis, radio or television may briefly report on such stories.
