Lecture to discuss role of judiciary in resolving political disputes

In an era of judicialized politics, Canadians increasingly rely on the courts to resolve issues of public policy, says a researcher who will speak on the UWindsor campus Wednesday.

Kate Puddister will deliver a free public lecture entitled “Seeking Judicial Advice: Canadian Reference Cases 1949 to 2014,” November 5 at 4 p.m. in McPherson Lounge, Alumni Hall.

Dr. Puddister is a doctoral fellow in the Research Group on Constitutional Studies at McGill University. Her appearance in Windsor is sponsored by the Faculty of Law and the history and political science departments.
