Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau Centre for Private and Comparative Law
Founded in 1975 by Professor Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau, the Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau Centre for Private and Comparative Law (formerly the Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law) endeavours to promote the civilian tradition in Canada and develop it through a philosophy of openness to the lessons to be learned from other legal traditions. The Cr茅peau Centre brings together legal scholars and academics from Quebec and abroad with a view to renewing the theoretical investigations of Quebec鈥檚 fundamental private law institutions. As a civil law system evolving in an environment otherwise largely grounded in the common law, Quebec鈥檚 private law provides a living model for the fruitful coexistence of two historically distinct legal traditions. The importance of this model in our increasingly interconnected world is underlined by the fundamentally bilingual nature of Quebec鈥檚 civil law.
The ambitious research program of the Cr茅peau Centre comprises many different axes of research, all of which pursue a dialogical understanding of local law set against the world鈥檚 great legal traditions.

Rule of Law and Economic Development Research Group
The Rule of Law and Economic Development Research Group (ROLED) aims to further the understanding of the rule of law鈥檚 role in fostering equitable economic growth and sustainable development.聽
The rule of law serves as a foundation of democracy and a guardrail of good governance. It counters corruption, punishes and deters crime, and makes human rights actionable, enforceable and realizable. Weak rule of law, impunity, injustice, and insecurity impede inclusive development. For these reasons, our research aims to contribute to understanding the role of state, market and civil society in advancing rights-based economic development in country-specific contexts.聽

Private justice and the Rule of Law research group
Founded in 2007, the Private Justice and the Rule of Law (PJRL) research group is headed by Professor Fabien G茅linas. The goal of the Private Justice and the Rule of Law research program is to foster our understanding of the interplays between private and public justice.
