加拿大西三一大学前几日收到加拿大BC省最高法院（Court of Appeal）对其开办法学院的申请的积极裁决 TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL RECEIVES POSITIVE RULING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Trinity Western University is pleased with the B.C. Court of Appeal’s decision today.（NOV 1, 2016） 【B.C. Court of Appeal requires Law Society to recognize future TWU law grads】 VANCOUVER, B.C. – Trinity Western University is pleased with the B.C. Court of Appeal’s decision today. The court dismissed an appeal of an earlier decision in favour of TWU by Chief Justice Hinkson. This will allow graduates of the university’s proposed law school to practice in B.C. The Court of Appeal, in reaching its decision, concluded the following: “The Law Society’s decision not to approve TWU’s faculty of law denies these evangelical Christians the ability to exercise fundamental religious and associative rights which would otherwise be assured to them under section 2 of the Charter.” “The Court of Appeal unanimously agreed that the Community Covenant is not a breach of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” said Earl Phillips, the executive director of TWU’s proposed School of Law. “It is not unlawful discrimination. Further, they ruled that the majority must not be allowed to defeat the rights of the minority TWU community to honour its own values. Members of that community are entitled to make space to exercise their religious convictions.” The private university in Langley plans to open a law school that will offer 60 additional law school spots and fill a void in Canadian legal education. TWU’s School of Law will offer specializations in charity law and small-business law. Although both require specialized skills and are particularly sought after in the Lower Mainland, some Canadian law schools don’t offer courses in charity law. TWU would be the first law school in Canada to offer such a specialization. 如欲阅读新闻全文，请点击此链接：https://www.twu.ca/news-events/news/trinity-western-university-law-school-receives-positive-ruling-british-columbia 【盼望华人教会能够有勇气大声讲出自己的诉求；讲出上主耶稣基督那“天国近了，要悔改！”的十架救赎福音。】
