Trinity Western University’s Law School: Quo Vadis?
This paper deals with the contentious juridical history involving Trinity Western University’s proposed law school the resistance of the law societies in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Ontario to accredit graduates from that proposed school. Issues involving the appropriate standard of legal review, in assessing the legality of the resistance by the three law societies, the balancing of section 2(a) and 15 rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Berlinian perspective of balancing positive and negative liberty in resolving the issue of balancing those Charter rights is addressed. The paper concludes that the resolution of past injustices to a particular class of Canadians, including the possible limiting of law school positions in Canada, ought not to ground a claim for provincial statutory bodies to act against Trinity Western University.

Student Drivers and the Fiduciary Duty of School Boards
Following
E.D.G. v. Hammer
, Canadian law has held that school boards, although they have a fiduciary duty to their students, do not guarantee the safety of their students from the acts of their employees. The scope of that fiduciary duty is narrow, restricted to a board acting with disloyalty, in bad faith, or in a conflict of interest to its students, which causes them injury. This paper takes the position that the scope of that duty should include cases where a school board’s policy allows students to use their own cars to drive fellow students to school-sponsored functions.

Ici nous traitons les complexités juridiques auxquelles les sociétés de droit dans les provinces du Canada font face en refusant que les diplômés, formés par la faculté de droit de l’université Trinity Western, exercent le droit dans leurs juridictions sans avoir à surmonter les niveaux difficiles d’études que les autres facultés de droit canadiennes et américaines imposent aux étudiants du second cycle. On décrit le contentieux de l’affaire civile dans les provinces de l’Ontario, de la Nouvelle-Ecosse et de la Colombie-Britannique tant en première instance qu’en appel, où la liberté de religion en vertu de l’article 2 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés, se heurte aux droits à l’égalité reconnus par l’article 15 de la charte. Pour conclure, il est dit que la Cour Suprême du Canada devra rendre la décision afin de résoudre les différends de ce cas et que même le plus sage serait, pour ce tribunal, d’établir que les sociétés de droit canadiennes sont allées trop loin en demandant aux futurs diplômés en droit de l’université Trinity Western qu’ils soient soumis à un examen approfondi inhabituel, ce qui veut dire en effet : forcer l’université Trinity Western d’abandonner ses mission et mandat chrétiens.
