DESCRIPTION:Chaque été\, le Centre Paul-André Crépeau de droit privé et com
 paré organise une série de séminaires afin de promouvoir les travaux de re

 ette présentation\, nous accueillons Jennifer Anderson\, Université 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ
 .\n\nRésumé\n\nThe strong presumption of prospectivity in statutory constr
 uction reflects well-established concerns with retroactivity on the bases 
 of the rule of law\, liberty\, and reliance. Strikingly\, common-law judic
 ial lawmaking routinely exemplifies these problems\, yet largely escapes c
 riticism for its retroactivity. Arguments justifying this difference amoun
 t to variations on one theme: lawmaking is simply not what courts are\, or
  should be\, doing\, and worrying about their decisions’ real-world retroa
 ctive effects is therefore beside the point.\n\nI challenge this view. Not
  only do appellate courts make law\, that is their primary function. Furth
 er\, if judge-made law is law more than in name only\, then certain logica
 l consequences follow. Chief among these is that retroactivity (and the pr
 oblems it creates) requires defending as much in judicial as in statutory 
 lawmaking. My analysis suggests that such a defence is elusive\; more radi
 cally\, it also calls into question the precise relationship between lower
  and higher courts.\n\nTout le monde est invité à y assister. Pour plus d’
 informations\, prière d'centre [dot] crepeau [at] mcgill [dot] ca (écrire
