“Judging Stories” concerns the case of Mugesera v. Citizenship & Immigration (Canada) which I intervened in as the director of the International Human Rights Program at the Faculty of Law.  The ethical element of the story involved the anti-Semitic conduct of Mugesera’s lawyer — Guy Bertrand — who alleged that the Canadian Supreme Court was captive to a Jewish conspiracy and incompetent to hear the matter.

The paper uses the Mugesera odyssey to address the emerging global treatment of hate speech and incitement to genocide.
