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."--JacketCitizen suits (Civil procedure)CanadaPublic interest lawCanadaCitizen suits (Civil procedure)Public interest law342.71/0854Brodie Ian(Ian Ross)894021MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780236103321Friends of the court3784797UNINA
