Nobleman, Robin L.
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's contention that access to civil justice in Canada should be addressed as a social determinant of health as of 2014, and it mentions the attitudes of Canadians regarding health, society, and the nation's justice system. Litigation involving the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is mentioned, along with poverty law and the impacts that medical-legal partnerships can have on patients and collective action for social change in Canada.
