How can courts balance claims to religious liberty with demands for equality under the Charter? What should we make of the suggestion that allowing Trinity a law school would reduce the overall number of spots for gay law students in Canada?\u00a0We engage in rampant speculation about the SCC&#8217;s future decision and consider broader theoretical implications of religious liberty in a pluralistic society.<\/p>\n<p>Runnymede now has an Amazon affiliate link!
