====================================================

Erratum

The article “Civil Resistance and the ‘Diversity of Tactics’ in the Anti-Globalization Movement: Problems of Violence, Silence, and Solidarity in Activist Politics” in volume 41 (summer/fall 2003) mistakenly identifies Jaggi Singh as the person with the bullhorn at the snake march, and the remark that “anything can happen” is erroneously attributed to him (page 528). Professor Janet Conway, the author of the article, has acknowledged this factual error and requested that the Osgoode Hall Law Journal publish a correction and apology to Mr. Singh.

Special Issue: Charter Dialogue Revisited

Volume 45, Number 1

Spring, 2007

The Osgoode Hall Law Journal’s first issue of 2007 will showcase a collection of articles to mark the anniversary of Peter W. Hogg and Allison A. Bushell Thornton’s much-debated article, “Charter Dialogue Between Courts and Legislatures (Or Perhaps The Charter of Rights Isn’t Such A Bad Thing After All),” which was published in the Journal’s Spring 1997 issue.  In “Charter Dialogue Revisited—Or ‘Much Ado About Metaphors’,” Hogg, Bushell Thornton, and a new co-author, Wade K. Wright, update the research on legislative sequels to Charter decisions and provide a response to the extensive literature that was generated by “Charter Dialogue.” In response, six esteemed commentators offer divergent perspectives on the dialogue between the courts and legislatures as expanded upon by Hogg, Bushell Thornton, and Wright.  The issue is availible now.
