Supreme Court of Canada - Creation and Beginnings

The Supreme Court of Canada, which stands today as the final arbiter of legal disputes in the Canadian judicial system, has not always enjoyed the status of court of last resort. Its history begins more than a century after the appearance of courts in Canada and its role has evolved considerably since its creation in 1875.
