The article investigates the impact of legal mohilization and judicial decisions on official minority-language education (OMLE) policy in the Canadian provinces outside Quebec, using the "factor-oriented" and "dispute-centered" theories of judicial impact developed by U.S. scholars. The Canadian Supreme Court's decision in Mahé v. Alberta (1990), which broadly interpreted Section 23 of the Charter of Rights to include management and control of OMLE programs and schools, along with federal funding to the provinces to implement OMLE policy, are important to explaining OMLE policy change as predicted by the factor-oriented approach. The dispute-centered approach, on the other hand, helps us understand how the Charter of Rights and judicial decisions shaped the goals and discourse of Franco...

In this case, participants will examine the situation of Françoise Roy, HRM manager of a bank in Quebec, Canada. Françoise had only been director of human resources at the People's Bank of Quebec (PBQ) for a little over ay ear when she undertook a huge project This effort entailed encouraging diversity in the bank by increasing ethnic and cultural minority representation and by eliminating discrimination among the workforce.

Linda McClain and Jim Fleming have written a thoughtful critique of one of the main arguments in my recent book Towards Juristocracy: The Origins and Consequences of the New Constitutionalism. In focusing on an argument that occupies approximately one-third of the book, they inevitably overlook some of the book's other (and I'd humbly suggest, at least equally significant) arguments. Their review would have been more effective had they actually reviewed the entire set of arguments presented in the book, rather than drawing on one aspect of it as a benchmark against which they can stage their own views on the matters at stake. Our disagreements on method and substance notwithstanding, McClain and Fleming's review forces us to take a close look at, and perhaps refine our definitions of, p...
