DESCRIPTION:The Centre de recherche en droit public (CRDP) invites you to t
 he second conference of its Les matinées constitutionnelles 2012-2013 seri
 es\, which will be presented by Professor Han-Ru Zhou\, Faculty of Law\, U
 niversité de Montréal.  For more information: isabelle.lemelin.1 [at] umon
 treal.ca\; (514) 343-7670.  Abstract  It is often said that most legal sys
 tems have a “partly written\, partly unwritten” constitution. The written 
 part typically refers to the “Constitution”\, a foundational document (or 
 set of documents) sitting at the apex of a country's hierarchy of legal no
 rms. However\, these constitutional documents are often considered as inco
 mplete in the sense that their Framers did not and could not conceivably f
 oresee all the situations for which each section may apply\, nor how it sh
 ould apply.  Moreover\, the Framers themselves probably intended to addres
 s only a limited number of matters. It follows that (the interpretation of
 ) these constitutional documents would need to be complemented with law th
 at many judges and legal scholars characterise as “unwritten”.  This prese
 ntation will discuss four interrelated questions concerning the notion of 
 unwritten constitutional principles. Firstly\, what are unwritten constitu
 tional principles? Secondly\, do they exist? Thirdly\, how can (or how do)
  they operate? And fourthly\, how should they operate?  See the poster [.p
 ng].  A request for accreditation for CLE purposes has been made to the Ba
 rreau du Québec.
