A long standing Mennonite community, a battery of lawyers
brought together to preserve Alberta’s education system, an amicus curiae
(friend of the court), and a provincial court judge were the main contenders
in the Wiebe case, a delicate affair that questioned some Albertans' access
to essential human rights.
A look at these individuals illustrates the dynamic
nature of the case at hand, recognizing the clash between two groups who
support very different approaches to life, yet are obligated to coexist in
the same community. An exploration of the people involved provides some
insight into the human aspect of the case, giving way to numerous motivating
factors involved in this landmark decision.
