Write a formal essay comparing, contrasting, and analyzing two Supreme Court of Canada
decisions about the same section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
1 This assignment begins
with a library workshop on legal research. Students will then submit a paper proposal based on the
two SCC decisions they have chosen. Finally, the paper itself has two components: a peer review draft
and a final draft. This assignment provides you with an opportunity to improve your reading, legal
research, and writing skills. Your paper should make a clear argument about the meaning and
significance of your chosen Charter right based on an analysis of two key decisions.
