The Canadian Chapter of the International Society of Public Law (ICON•S) pursues the mission of ICON•S within Canada and among Canadian scholars and those with a substantial connection to Canada.

ABOUT

The Chapter promotes interdisciplinary scholarship on public law that engages constitutional, administrative, and international law and related areas; advances the foundational values of democracy, equality, liberty, and human rights; and promotes the values of ICON•S among scholars, the bar, and the judiciary. It encourages the participation of junior scholars and graduate students, and provides a forum for the multiple roles of public law in a multinational federation engaged in reconciliation, with particular regard to Call to Action 28 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
