Aakash D Pratap has posted Living Between Laws: Ontario and Quebec and the Lived Experience of Legal Pluralism in Canada on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This paper examines how Canada’s bijural legal order produces divergent lived experiences of legal pluralism among immigrant families. Through a contrastive internal comparison of Ontario’s common-law framework and Quebec’s civil-law system, it argues that pluralism in Canada operates through selective institutional mediation shaped by legal tradition, administrative design, and social power. The paper combines doctrinal analysis with socio-legal insight to reconceptualize pluralism as an everyday navigational practice rather than a purely constitutional principle, and concludes with policy implications for responsive governance in multicultural societies.
Interesting and recommended.
