My research and teaching interests include judicial politics, bills of rights, constitutional theory, and Canadian political institutions. I am currently engaged in several research projects. The first examines how the Supreme Court of Canada defines the role of other political institutions through its jurisprudence. The second analyzes the federal Conservative and Liberal parties’ relationships with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the courts, and the Constitution. The third explores the place of Canadian public law within the broader literature on political and legal constitutionalism.
