Abstract

This practical article on process and advocacy at the Supreme Court of Canada was written by a former Executive Legal Officer of the Court who now works as a Supreme Court agent in Ottawa. It starts off with a chart of the main procedural steps, gives a summary of recent statistics on leaves to appeal and appeal, and after a review of each step in the leave to appeal and appeal process, makes practical suggestions for improved written and oral advocacy, and finally concludes with comments on arguing the Charter at the appellate level.
