Turning Feminist Judgments into Jurisprudence: The Women’s Court of Canada on Substantive Equality
The Women’s Court of Canada project is unique in having chosen to focus its rewriting efforts in a specific area of law – constitutional equality cases. This strategy permits an assessment of the WCC jurisprudence to see if it yields a competing ‘theory’ of equality rights that might be used to systematically critique the real jurisprudence and perhaps produce lines of argument capable of redirecting the real law. This effort reveals the pervasiv…
Récrire l’égalité II
Rewriting Equality II
Fairness and equal recognition
An important contribution of Alan Patten’s Equal Recognition is the conception of neutrality that grounds his defence of minority cultural rights. Built in to his conception of neutrality of treatment is a notion of ‘fairness’ whose effect is to provide an upfront, across the board limitation on the demands cultural minorities may legitimately make on the rest of society. There must be limits on the duty to accommodate, but it obscures more than …
Lingua franca fever: Sceptical remarks
The policy push in favour of fostering a global lingua franca has shed overtly imperialistic underpinnings and been recast, but many of the same objections can be levelled at new attempts to justify an old policy. Efforts to explain the impetus towards linguistic uniformity through rational choice theory obscure the power dynamics behind choice of language in multilingual contexts. Invoking democratic engagement as a benefit of uniformity overest…
Dignity, Equality, and Comparison
This chapter explores the comparative dimension of discrimination, in particular, in cases where courts' use comparison to assess equality claims. The language of comparison in cases indicates the operation of a background judgment about what a statute's underlying distributive principle is, and whether it is constitutionally permissible. Thus a ?test? is needed: what makes a statutory distributive principle unworthy? One thread in the Canadian c…

What's Distinctive about Feminist Analysis of Law: A Conceptual Analysis of Women's Exclusion from Law
What is distinctive about a feminist analysis of law? Conversely, what does it mean to characterize the law (or a law) as distinctively “male” as a way of criticizing its injustice? It is widely assumed by both feminist scholars and nonfeminists or curious onlookers that a feminist analysis of law must have distinctive features that set it off from mainstream/“malestream” theories of law. Feminist scholars often try to “sell” feminist analysis to…
Is Integrity a Virtue? Dworkin's Theory of Legal Obligation
Individuals, Groups, and Rights to Public Goods
Recent literature has elided these two questions and reached a sceptical conclusion. Joseph Raz, for example, thinks that it is at least unlikely that an individual can successfully claim a right to some sorts of public goods, while Neil MacCormick has argued that legal rights secure individuals in the enjoyment of individual goods but not in that of collective goods such as clean air. One particular feature of public goods is wrongly isolated as…
