The Teaching Of Law In France, Claudine Bloch Oct 1989

The Teaching Of Law In France, Claudine Bloch

Dalhousie Law Journal

For a little over thirty years the teaching of law in France has conjured up the image of a vast expanse of land, the boundaries of which are continually being extended: the observer will see a succession of cultivated fields, plots of land which are constantly being tilled so that one wonders if they will ever bear a crop; but he will also see ground lying fallow which is coveted by the wealthy and the pioneers: they plough their furrows, which they then either abandon or untiringly plough even deeper or longer. These remarks, preceding the presentation of so serious …

Clinical Legal Education Through The Looking-Glass, M Kathryn Munn Oct 1989

Clinical Legal Education Through The Looking-Glass, M Kathryn Munn

Dalhousie Law Journal

This paper describes the implementation of a clinical legal education program at the University of Western Ontario. By coincidence, the paper was completed just as a major change in direction was unfolding in the program. The origin and purposes of clinical education I will leave to another occasion. Suffice it to say that my answer to the question, "does a law school need clinical education?", is a resounding "yes".

Western In The 1980'S, W B. Rayner Oct 1989

Western In The 1980'S, W B. Rayner

Dalhousie Law Journal

When one is asked to write on the development of one's faculty over a decade, the most difficult part of the task is simply to determine where to begin. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that the most appropriate starting point is the statement of the objective that appears in the "Dean's Message" contained in our Calendar. We state that our objective is "to offer students a liberal education through the critical study of legal and related materials in preparation for the private practice of law, for government service and for kindred vocations." In short, we wish to …

Legal Education In Saskatchewan 1982-1988, Daniel I. Ish Oct 1989

Legal Education In Saskatchewan 1982-1988, Daniel I. Ish

Dalhousie Law Journal

My predecessor in the office of dean, Don Clark, in an article in this Journal approximately six years ago, described in his usual eloquent fashion the development of the little law school on the prairie from its genesis in 1910. In these pages I will attempt to outline some of the developments in the College of Law during my six years as dean. I intend to adopt an intuitive, first-person narrative which, I hope, will not be too self-serving in its description of the College of Law between 1982 and 1988.

The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan Apr 1989

The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan

Dalhousie Law Journal

Legal education, while always a subject of fascination to law students and professors, only periodically becomes a matter of more general interest. But that is what I believe has happened in Canada in the mid-1980s as the result of three publishing events.

Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions, James P. Taylor Apr 1989

Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions, James P. Taylor

Dalhousie Law Journal

Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions ("CRIMJI") is an ambitious project. The authors, the Honourable Mr. Justice John Bouck (of the Supreme Court of British Columbia) and Professor Gerry Ferguson (of the Faculty of Law, University of Victoria) set out to provide a book that will "assist Canadian judges and Canadian lawyers in drafting and delivering a charge to a jury in a criminal case". The authors' twovolume work handily accomplishes this objective.
