Rethinking The Equities Of Federal Farm Programs, Christopher R. Kelley
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article explores the need to revisit the justifications for federal farm programs. The author points out that while long-term prospects for the continuation of current price and income support programs are uncertain, the notion of public investment in agriculture should not be wholly dismissed. The author proposes comprehensive policy reform that identifies the continuing value and relevance of federal farm programs to the American people, and restores a sense of direction to the government's support of the agriculture system.

Military Justice: From Oxymoron To Aspiration, Janet Walker
Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The yet critical issues of civilian …
"Artificial Conscience": Professional Elites And Professional Discipline From 1920 To 1950, James A. Smith
"Artificial Conscience": Professional Elites And Professional Discipline From 1920 To 1950, James A. Smith
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Recent historical studies of the British and American Bars have identified their professional elites' willingness to define and enforce a concept of legal ethics which restricted less fortunate members' ability to practice and less fortunate individuals' ability to obtain legal assistance.

Identifying similar trends in the Canadian profession's evolution, while emphasizing effects rather than intentions, it makes similar conclusions about the Canadian professional elite's use of such powers during this period.
