Legal Dualism – A new look at the complexity of the Canadian legal system
The Canadian legal system – An ever-changing structure of jurisdictions and legal rules
Our Team adopts a perspective designed to grasp the Canadian legal system as a whole, consisting of a perpetually evolving structure of jurisdictions and legal rules.
The Canadian legal system is, in fact, a complex and coevolutive body, where heterogeneous yet aggregated groups of legal rules are continually adjusting to the dynamic nature of Canadian values – as well as the obligations tied to the globalization of markets and commercial trade.
Legal Dualism – Within groups of legal rules and their mechanisms of interaction
The Legal Dualism Team's mandate is to describe the phenomenon embodied in these groups or “evolutive aggregates” of interacting legal rules. The mechanisms to be detailed are those shaping the coevolution of such aggregates, thus acknowledging the influence of the predominant legal traditions in Canada without basing the study itself on the conventional typology of legal “families”.
