The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools: The Impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on Educational Policy and Practice, 1982-2007, Michael Manley-Casimir and Kirsten Manley-Casimir, eds.

The Courts, the Charter, and the Schools: The Impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms on Educational Policy and Practice, 1982-2007 is a collection of essays by various authors grouped by the sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that are most applicable to schools. The book starts from the intriguing premise that it is time to take stock to see if the premise of their earlier book, that the advent of the Charter would radically change school law, has come to pass. Ultimately their answer, and that of the contributing essayists, is that the Charter has not fulfilled that premise.
