Note de lecture · ACDS / CLSA
Malgré « 2026 » dans le nom du fichier, ce document est le programme final daté du 22 mai 2025 de la conférence annuelle à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de la Saskatchewan, du 11 au 13 juin 2025. L’identification suit les dates internes du document.
Commencer par deux contextes juridiques
La page 1 présente 1.a, « Indigenous Peoples, Incarceration and Sentencing », et 1.b, « Why Litigate Climate Change? ». Ces séances mettent en jeu des institutions, données et stratégies juridiques différentes. La page 2 aborde l’immigration et le droit des réfugiés, notamment la détention et les biais raciaux dans les décisions.
Suivre la conversation sur la revue
Les pages 3–4 décrivent « 40 Years and Counting », une discussion sur la RCDS / CJLS avec Véronique Fortin, Jamie Chai Yun Liew, Debra Parkes et Mariana Valverde, animée par Thomas McMorrow. Le programme rappelle le premier volume de 1986 et examine le rôle, les réussites et les défis de la revue.
