An evening with the Rt. Hon. Richard Wagner, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada

Monday, April 8, 2019 17:00to18:30
Chancellor Day Hall Maxwell Cohen Moot Court (NCDH 100), 3644 rue Peel, Montreal, QC, H3A 1W9, CA

For this edition of the Alan Aylesworth Macnaughton Lecture Series, the Rt. Hon. Richard Wagner, P.C., Chief Justice of Canada, will be interviewed in a public “fireside chat” led by McGill Law students.

The diverse perspectives of younger jurists on law and justice can lead the Supreme Court to pose new questions, frame new institutional issues and identify new challenges that it will face over the next decades. Accordingly, the format of this year’s Macnaughton Lecture is meant to engage the direct and indirect participation of McGill Law students.

Please join us for a fascinating conversation!

This event is organized by Professor Daniel Jutras, holder of the Wainwright Chair in Civil Law.
