Hello all,
Welcome to the Sunday Evening Administrative Review (SEAR). SEAR is a weekly newsletter, designed for Canadian administrative law practitioners and students. Each Sunday night (Eastern time) I will send a curated list of 1-5 interesting or important administrative law cases from the previous week, from courts across Canada. I will also include *short* analysis on each case, pointing out interesting implications for administrative law doctrine in Canada. Here is some more information about what you can expect each week if you subscribe.:
Nothing in the SEAR should be taken as legal advice.
The cases each week are selected according to the following criteria:
National importance to the administrative law conversation post-Vavilov.
Interesting or bizarre cases that follow or buck trends in the case law.
Cases with under-studied practical implications for students and lawyers.
The cases selected for the SEAR are not meant to be totally exhaustive of all the potentially interesting or relevant cases that may be released by courts in a given week. There is some judgment involved in selecting cases that I think are relevant based on the above criteria. I am always open to including cases if you send them to me before Sunday evening publication.
The perspective I adopt in my short analyses will generally be doctrinal, with some theoretical perspective from time to time. However, the goal of the SEAR is to provide practical insights for those who have to work with the law, not to pontificate on high points of theory.
Editorial changes may be made to issues of the newsletter after they are emailed out. These small changes will be noted on the website at the time they are made. Please excuse typos. These are sometimes inevitable given the frequency of the newsletter.
