Guest Speaker: Patrick Keyzer
Guest Speakers
Patrick Keyzer, Research Professor of Law and Public Policy at LaTrobe University will present "Comparing Access to Constitutional Justice in Australia and Canada" as part of the McKercher Lecture Series on Oct. 7, 2019 at the College of Law
What happens when a person seeks access to constitutional justice because of their identity, e.g., a person who is Indigenous seeks to challenge the constitutional validity of legislation that affects them specifically because they are Indigenous?
In this presentation, Keyzer will explain how rules governing standing, non-party intervention (such as admission of amici curiae) and costs can exclude people from seeking access to constitutional justice on the basis of their identity. Why are these two such remarkably similar countries so remarkably different in their approaches to regulating access to constitutional justice?
