    • Supreme Court justices serve until age 75, when they must retire.
    • Brown, from Alberta, filled one of two seats on the court historically allocated to justices from western and northern territories and provinces.

    • Trudeau has opened the process to select the next Supreme Court justice.
    • Trudeau is not obliged to select a name from the list, but he’s previously always drawn from it.
    • Trudeau could make history by naming a woman, which would create, for the first time, a Supreme Court with more women than men.

The Charter’s influence

    • The enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 dramatically increased the role of the Supreme Court.
    • That’s because the Charter outlines the rights and freedoms of Canadians in general terms, but then goes on to note these are not absolute.
    • After 1982, the Supreme Court often had to determine which laws were consistent with the Charter and to clarify central aspects of the Charter.
