This collection of papers examines the complex and often contentious relationship between security and freedom in the context of contemporary legal and political discourse. The volume originates from a conference held at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, bringing together scholars to explore how evolving notions of security impact civil liberties and fundamental rights. It delves into the legal frameworks, ethical considerations, and societal implications of balancing these two essential societal values.

This collection is likely to be of interest to legal scholars, political scientists, and philosophers concerned with civil liberties and national security. The papers presented at the conference offer a multi-faceted examination of a critical contemporary issue. The focus on legal and philosophical underpinnings suggests a rigorous and analytical approach to the subject matter.
