 .\n\nRésumé\n\nMy research papers tackles the issue of social fact evidenc
 e in constitutional rights litigation. In particular\, I assess the impact
  of two recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions in which the Court formul
 ates a full-deference approach to findings of social fact by trial courts.
  Though the Court’s expeditious overview of the topic has done little to i
 ndicate its potentially far-reaching implications\, I argue that the Court
 ’s conclusion regarding the treatment of social framework evidence during 
 the appeal process will significantly affect the scope of Canadian appella
 te courts’ authority to shape legal rules and ensure their universal appli
 cation. Moreover\, the neutering of appellate judges’ power to independent
 ly review social facts will contribute to the accelerating pace of the Can
 adian justice system’s growing trend toward trial-centric\, fact-based adj
 udication in constitutional cases. This phenomenon will further undermine 
 higher courts’ ability to fulfill their obligation to honor and apply the 
 ‘living tree’ doctrine. I contend that a middle ground approach to deferen
 ce enabling appellate courts to incorporate their own reading of the socia
 l\, political and economic context into their decisions will better serve 
 Canadian citizens and help protect their rights.\n\nTout le monde est invi
 té à y assister. Pour plus d’informations\, prière d'écrire au Centre Crép
