The entrenchment of a Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Canadian constitution raises a host of fundamental issues, both theoretical and practical. As the American experience makes abundantly clear, expanding the focus of judicial review means that the symbiosis between law and politics will become more intimate and interwined than ever before. Putting the Charter to Work David Beatty investigates the extent to which judicial review offers a means to the enhancement of social justice in our community.
