Ewa Krejewska, constitutional lawyer and partner at Henein Hutchison Robitaille LLP, reflects on the institutions that sustain democratic societies and the growing pressures they face. Drawing on her family’s experience fleeing communist Poland and her work on major constitutional cases, she argues that democracy is more than majority rule – it depends on constitutional protections, and an independent judiciary, a free press, independent universities, and a legal profession capable of challenging government power.
