Prospective Immigrants: Constitutional Lawyer

Supreme Court Of Canada Dept: That question, and the lack of a clear answer, has stood in the way of the province s repeated efforts to prosecute the leaders of Bountiful, B.C., an obscure fundamentalist Mormon community near the U.S. border where some residents readily admit to multiple marriages, according to The Star. This is much broader than Bountiful if the law is struck down and polygamy becomes legally recognized, you start to see some pretty broad ramifications, things like pension benefits, immigration, says Vancouver-based constitutional lawyer Ron Skolrood, who isn t connected to the case and vANCOUVER A court in British Columbia will begin hearings Monday as it tackles a question that has been lingering over a small commune in southeastern British Columbia for nearly two decades: Is polygamy a crime, or is it a sacred religious practice protected by the constitution? But one observer predicts the B.C. case is just the first step in a process that will eventually make its way to the Supreme Court of Canada, where a final decision could affect a range of issues from the definition of marriage to how prospective immigrants with multiple wives should be treated. As reported in the news.
