Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The chapter distils the development and the outcomes of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada on dignity. Despite the paucity of legal and constitutional references to the notion of dignity, through its frequently activist approach, the Supreme Court has used it in a vast array of cases, spanning from new rights or the protection of indigenous minorities to the police powers to conduct searches, freedom of speech, and death penalty extraditions. Since embracing an activist approach with the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, the court has tried to make sense of an extremely diverse society and its multicultural agenda. Its rulings have drawn from a variety of sources, combining common law and civil law, Christian and secular thinking, and anglophone and continental European heritage. Although several justices initially resisted it, the court ultimately embraced a secular and individualistic approach to dignity.

Not 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.
