Description
INTRODUCTION Ivan Cleveland Rand changed the shape of Canadian law. Owing to judgments that he rendered as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice Rand has been praised as "Canada's greatest civil libertarian in an era when our constitutional theory was still bounded by the British legacy of parliamentary supremacy". As other essays in this volume clearly demonstrate, Justice Rand's remarkable legal legacy reverberates through modern jurisprudence. Indeed, "more of [Justice Rand's] judgments remain alive and quoted today than those of all of his thirty-four predecessors at the Court combined", (1) During his tenure on the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice Rand consistently acted with wisdom, logic, and justice, resolving disputes in a principled manner marked by intellectual rigor. There is little more that one can ask of a jurist.
