Ideology And Judging In The Supreme Court Of Canada, Robert Martin

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The purpose of this article is to advance some hypotheses about the way the Supreme Court of Canada operates as a state institution. The analysis is based on the period since 1948. The first hypothesis is that the judges of the Supreme Court of Canada belong to the dominant class in Canadian society. The second hypothesis is that they contribute to the dominance of their class primarily on the ideological plane.


Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson Oct 1988

Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson

Dalhousie Law Journal

In any system of judge-made law the longevity, education and character of a judge have enhanced significance. The idea of a judge personifies Justice, blinded and impartial, but the law he creates will inevitably be infused with his personality. Where an individual develops an entire system of law, his contribution to legal history can be overwhelming. Lord Mansfield remains a case in point.

Judge's Role In Settlement: Opinions From Missouri Judges And Attorneys, The, James A. Wall Jr., Dale E. Rude Jan 1988

Judge's Role In Settlement: Opinions From Missouri Judges And Attorneys, The, James A. Wall Jr., Dale E. Rude

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This study investigates judges' involvement in settlement, and the opinions that Missouri judges and attorneys hold toward that involvement. In a survey of 1,100 judges and 1,550 attorneys, we found that Missouri judges differ significantly from Missouri attorneys. Specifically, Missouri judges prefer less judicial involvement in settlement and they, in the cases sent to them, were less aggressive in facilitating settlement. Finally, judges and attorneys from Missouri's metropolitan areas were found to favor stronger involvement in settlement than were their counterparts from the non-metropolitan areas.
