DESCRIPTION:The Trial of Percy Schmeiser  Professor Tina Piper\, Department
  of LawThe Trial of Percy Schmeiser  In 2004\, the Supreme Court of Canada
  found Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser liable for patent infringement 
 for growing genetically modified canola that he said blew onto his farm. T
 his ruling allowed the possibility that some life might be patentable and 
 had huge implications for farmers across Canada. This lecture will conside
 r how this trial has led to a grassroots farmers' revolt\, changed farming
  practices\, upended patent law and affected the food we eat.  About The G
 reat Trials  IPLAI's Great Trials lecture series considers a collection of
  history-making trials across time and examines the social and political c
 ontexts in which they took place as well as their cultural consequences. T
 he series takes the position that ‘law’ happens as much outside the courtr
 oom as it does within it\, and that each of these pivotal events stands as
  testament to the ways in which constructions of authority\, law\, and jus
 tice have informed cultural consciousness across centuries.  IPLAI is plea
 sed to offer the lectures in this series for CLE credit through the Barrea
 u du Québec.  Where: Westmount Library\, 4574 Sherbrooke St. W.When: All l
 ectures will begin at 5:30pm  Registration fees: $15 for individual lectur
