The third episode of Inside the Supreme Court of Canada - 150 Years of the Highest Court looks at who can serve on the high court, how justices are appointed, which factors determine if a case will be heard by the high court, and the impact of reference cases on the Court.
Former justices, law clerks and scholars discuss what happens behind the bench, the deliberations, and the importance of consensus in providing clarity on legal issues for the country.
