Microprogram in Law and Technology
The Microprogram in Law and Technology is the first program completely offered online, by the Faculty of Law. It was created to specifically meet the needs of the legal community. The Microprogram will enable students to understand the complexities of the relationship between law and technology, to understand the impact technology has on the legal profession and justice system, to acquire the basic computer programming skills that facilitate legal problem solving and to adopt a comparative perspective on law and technology in different jurisdictions: the European Union, the United States and Canada. The aim is to provide its graduates with a unique expertise in law and technology and the ability to tackle the new challenges of this digital era.
Carissima Mathen leads innovative new project on equality rights and the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is a central institution in Canadian law and politics, and yet, to date, there has been relatively little empirical research on its work. Professor Carissima Mathen is leading a new project, funded by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), that will use state-of-the-art legal data analytics to investigate Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) decisions, specifically probing how the Court has addressed equality claims.
