| Course Description | This course examines the fundamental freedoms contained in s.2 of the Charter, through theory and jurisprudence related to religion, expression, assembly and association, comparing Canada with other jurisdictions. In addition to reviewing current case law in detail, it explores fundamental questions such as: why do we protect religious freedom? Could religion be better analyzed as an associative freedom? How do religious freedom and expressive freedom conflicts get resolved? What are the boundaries of expressive freedom? How are freedom of association and assembly analyzed? Is there an overarching unifying theory for fundamental freedoms? |
