Abstract
The unity of public law contains the papers presented at a conference hosted by the Faculty of Law, University of Toronto, with the title 'The authority of reasons : A new understanding of the rule of law?' The papers / chapters reflect either directly or indirectly on the decision of the Canadian Supreme Court in Baker v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) (1999) DLR (4th) 193 (SCC). Baker is an extremely important decision in respect of various aspects of administrative law and has already attracted the attention of the South African Constitutional Court (see Bato Star Fishing (Pty) Ltd v Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism 2004 7 BCLR 687 (CC) para 46 n 32). Mavis Baker had entered Canada on a visitor's permit in August 1981 and had been living illegally in Canada ever since, supporting herself by working as a live-in domestic worker for 11 years. She was the mother of four Canadian-born children (and four children born in Jamaica) and suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. In December 1992 the immigration authorities ordered that Ms Baker be deported to Jamaica, her country of origin, from where she could then (theoretically) apply for permanent residence. Upon application for an exemption in terms of section 114(2) of the Immigration Act, it was decided (in April 1994) by the officer involved that there were no humanitarian and compassionate considerations present which would justify a departure from the normal rule regarding applications for permanent residence status (that these had to be made from outside Canada). The validity of this decision was at issue in Baker.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
