Film screening and discussion: "The Absence of Consent"

The Quebec Research Centre of Private & Comparative Law (QRCPCL) warmly invites you to the second lecture of the 2011 edition of its Summer Seminar. A short film titled « The Absence of Consent » will be presented, followed by a discussion led by Edmund Coates, Research Associate at the QRCPCL.

The whole McGill Law community is invited to take part in the discussion, so please share this invitation with graduate students and research assistants. The main purpose of this seminar series is to offer a forum to younger scholars to present their ideas and to engage with those of others in an informal setting.

Abstract: Presentation of a dramatic comedy inspired by art. 27 of the Civil Code of Québec. After this 20-minute film, there will be a discussion on the legal and practical situation of people with mental health problems in Quebec.

Cold drinks and cookies will be served.
