DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED. A Global perspectives on
  disability\, human rights and accessing justice seminar\, organized by th
 e Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism.  This seminar is accredited
  for 1.5 hours of continuing legal education by the Quebec Bar (activity n
 o. 10075984).  Agenda  Over the last decades\, a number of jurisdictions h
 ave turned to the law to guide decision- making or address contested human
  rights issues of persons disabled by illness or injury near the end of li
 fe. In the last two years\, developments in Canada have re-ignited public 
 debate on end-of-life care and dying with dignity. Quebec has proposed end
 -of-life legislation. A British Columbia Court has found the Canadian Crim
 inal Code ban on assisted suicide violates the Canadian Charter\, but the 
 decision has been overturned and is pending before the Canadian Supreme Co
 urt.  The seminar will allow participants to identify key issues and excha
 nge ideas on the difficult questions inherent in end-of-life care\, human 
 dignity and respect for the rights of persons with disabilities.  To see t
 he full description and access the readings\, visit our 'Global perspectiv
 es on disability\, human rights and accessing justice 2013-2014' page.  Ab
 out the series  To explore some of the advances\, challenges\, and questio
 ns\, the CHRLP is pleased to present its 2013-14 seminar series on selecte
 d issues of human rights and disability law. The series builds on the them
