Rethinking Legitimacy: Courts, Constitutions and Politics

Allan C Hutchinson

Allan C Hutchinson is Distinguished Research Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, Canada.

This book presents a new perspective on the debate around legitimacy, politics and constitutional law in Supreme Courts.

Moving away from the troubling perception that Supreme Courts are trampling on the wrong side of the law/politics divide, it accepts and defends the critical claim that constitutional law is intrinsically and inescapably politics: in style, substance and outcomes.
