The University Of Manitoba Faculty Of Law 1966-1984, Clifford H. C. Edwards, Jack R. London
Dalhousie Law Journal
From its inception in 1914, the Manitoba Law School had been the joint responsibility of the University of Manitoba and The Law Society of Manitoba. Its four year programme was intended to combine both academic and practical training so that on its completion the graduating student obtained not only his Bachelor of Laws Degree but also his call to the Bar of Manitoba. By the early sixties, however, with the burgeoning of legal education in universities across the country, it became clear that an overhaul of the system was necessary in Manitoba. If legal education was to meet the demands …

In the past few years the public has been deluged with a constant barrage of unfavourable articles, newsreels, television shows, movies, books, and commentaries about lawyers. This constantly increasing quantity is infinitesimal in size when compared to the vast array of material written by legal educators in the last thirty years. If it can be accepted that the popular press represents to some extent the voice of the people, it may be suggested that society is trying to say something about its lawyers and the role they play in society. The message is clear and unequivocal: lawyers are not nice …

Chinese Legal Education: A First-Hand Account By A Canadian Law Student, Bing Ho
Dalhousie Law Journal
In an article published in China's leading law journal,1 Professor Chen Shouyi, the Dean of the Department of Law at Peking University reviewed the last three decades of Chinese legal education.

The Search For Competence: Implications For Academe, F. Murray Fraser

The problem is not new. The statement simply reflects the harsh reality of Canadian legal education: the natural tensions which result from the interdependence of university programs in law and the later processes of admission and continuing education under the jurisdiction of governing bodies. …
