In the first book-length study of interest group litigation in Canada,
Friends of the Court traces the Canadian Supreme Court's ever-changing
relationship with interest groups since the 1970s. After explaining
how the Court was pressured to welcome more interest groups in the
late 1980s, Brodie introduces a new theory of political status
describing how the Court privileges certain groups over others. By
uncovering the role of the state in encouraging and facilitating
litigation, this book challenges the idea that interest group
litigation in Canada is a grassroots phenomenon.
