Excited to record a podcast episode on Disability Rights and section 15 of the Charter with the inimitable legal legend @DavidLepofsky and interviewed by @Cheryl_Milne for the @AsperCentre.
Charter: A Course podcast is podcast about Canadian Constitutional Law and Litigation.
Our episode will likely become available later this fall / early winter closer to the end of the year.
When our episode is up, I’ll add the link to this page, but for now I highly recommend tuning in to the existing podcast series – fascinating and helpful with research and reading materials and references included along with the podcasts.
