Iacobucci refuses to be drawn into those discussions or say how his replacement should be chosen, but he made clear his notion of 'dialogue' is a more respectful one than is currently taking place, and his idea of 'deference' doesn't mean giving in and accepting at face value what legislatures say.
A baseball fanatic and tennis buff, Iacobucci's tenure on the high court was also marked by his promotion of judicial education, collegiality, as well as more open relations with the media (the Canadian Supreme Court, whose hearings are televised, is one of the most accessible to media in the world).
Iacobucci and Cory were able to get consensus in controversial appeals like the 1998 Vriend decision that ruled 8-1 in favour of a gay Alberta teacher who had been fired because of his sexual orientation.
