Episode 3 – The Meta Edition (The Women’s Court of Canada)

This is a special episode of Stare Indecisis. Rather than feature our Appeal authors, it includes interviews with two legal scholars who tell us about section 15 of the Charter as it is reconfigured at the Women’s Court of Canada (WCC). The WCC is a fictional, feminist court that has re-written real equality cases as though they were on appeal from the Supreme Court of Canada.
