Beyond the bench: a dialogue with Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada

The Supreme Court of Canada is coming to Victoria in February. While in town, Chief Justice Richard Wagner, Justice Andromache Karakatsanis and Justice Nicholas Kasirer will host a public event to answer questions, such as:

  • What does it mean to be a judge? How did your career path lead you to where you are today?
  • How does the Court balance competing rights and opposing interests?
  • How do you maintain the Court’s independence and integrity, in light of pressures in society today?
  • What are some of the challenges and opportunities facing judges, and how do you approach them?

 

Submit your questions to [email protected] and you could have
them answered directly by judges of the Supreme Court.

Please note that this is not a legal information clinic. The judges can’t give legal advice or answer questions about specific cases.

Photos of the event may be used on the court’s social media and in its publications.
