The Tenth Justice - Judicial Appointments, Marc Nadon, and the Supreme Court Act Reference (Paperback)

The process by which Supreme Court judges are appointed is traditionally a quiet affair, but this certainly wasn't the case when Prime Minister Stephen Harper selected Justice Marc Nadon - a federal court judge - for appointment to Canada's highest court. Here, for the first time, is the complete story of "the Nadon Reference" - one of the strangest sagas in Canadian legal history. The Tenth Justice offers a detailed analysis of the background, issues surrounding, and legacy of the Reference re Supreme Court Act, ss 5 and 6.
