In Mighty Judgment Philip Slayton describes the important issues the Supreme Court decides for individual Canadians and for Canada as a nation, and the surprising and dramatic ways in which these decisions shape our future. In the Morgentaler case (1988), the court struck down laws restricting abortion, leaving Canada the only Western country without any abortion laws. In the Same-Sex Marriage Reference (2004), it decided that gays and lesbians could marry. In the Secession Reference (1998), it laid down the conditions under which Quebec could secede from Canada. In the Patrick case (2009), the court decided that the right of privacy does not stop the police from rifling through our garbage. More recently, the court administered a tongue-lashing to the federal government over its treatment of Canadian youth Omar Khadr, accused by the United States government of fighting with the Taliban. Mighty Judgment makes clear that the Supreme Court of Canada is a political institution, and that judges are politicians. But unlike other politicians, judges cannot be voted out of office. Slayton discusses reforms that will be needed, particularly in the way judges are chosen, once we recognize that the court decides policy and plays a pivotal role in governing Canada.

In Mighty Judgment, bestselling author Philip Slayton describes the surprising and dramatic ways in which the Supreme Court of Canada affects individual Canadians and shapes the country’s future. Whether they are striking down Canada’s abortion laws as unconstitutional, deciding that gays and lesbians can legally marry, or outlining the conditions under which Quebec could separate from Canada, the nine men and women who make up the court are powerful—and unelected—leaders. Their reach extends from the seemingly mundane—yes, the police can rifle through your garbage—to the highly political. Mighty Judgment makes clear that the Supreme Court of Canada is a political institution and that judges are politicians. But unlike other politicians, judges cannot be voted out of office. Slayton argues that reform is needed, particularly in the way judges are chosen, precisely because of the court’s pivotal role. Erudite and entertaining, Mighty Judgment is a revealing portrait of a little-known institution. The paperback is updated with an epilogue that discusses important recent cases, the new judges appointed to the court, and the way in which they were appointed.
