Le Droit Dans Tous Ses États. La Question Du Droit Au Québec 1970-1987, Philip P. Girard
Dalhousie Law Journal
This book contains 30 essays covering many aspects of Quebec law,' divided into five sections: l'Etat, les personnes, les conditions de vie, les organisations, and a final section entitled l'émergence d'une science juridique. The contributions are united in a formal sense in two ways: their authors are all professors in the department of sciences juridiques at l'Université du Québec à Montréal, and they all focus on developments in the period 1970-1987. Thematically, the pieces are united, according to the preface at any rate, in providing, "une lecture critique de l'évolution des tendances de notre droit" during this agitated, exhilarating and …

Educating Men And Women For Service Through Law: Osgoode Hall Law School 1963-1988, Mary Jane Mossman
Dalhousie Law Journal
My work... has assumed the shape of ... a spiral curriculum, circling around the same issues, though trying to keep them open-ended.

Dalhousie Law Journal
Maximilien Bibaud was a most unusual man: student of philosophy, history, and literature, teacher, author, chronicler and reformer of the law, founder of the first organized law school in Canada, true pioneer of the teaching of international law in this country.
