Law Schools And Public Legal Education: The Community Law Programme At Windsor, R. A. Macdonald

Dalhousie Law Journal

The term public legal education is of relatively recent vintage. Although the Bar has long acknowledged a responsibility to provide the public with information about the law and our legal system, it usually assumed that the private practitioner could perform this function adequately within the context of his daily practice. Only in the last decade have we come to realize that this function was not being performed and that general information about the law was unavailable to most citizens.' Not only was the Bar not involved in "access to justice" problems, but those engaged in legal education seemed to have …

Censorship And The Supreme Court: Re Nova Scotia Board Of Censors Et Al. V. Mcneil, William A. Mcmaster

Dalhousie Law Journal

On January 8, 1974, the Nova Scotia Amusements Regulation Board banned the showing of the film Last Tango in Paris. Gerard McNeil, the editor of a Dartmouth newspaper, decided to challenge the powers of the Board to make such prohibitions. He first appealed to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, as required by section 3(4) of the Theatres and Amusements Act' but he was not recognized by that body as having the right to appeal. He then requested the Attorney-General to refer the constitutionality of the Act to the Appeal Division of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, but to no avail. …

Televising Court Trials In Canada: We Stand On Guard For A Legal Apocalypse, Lorne H. Abugov

Dalhousie Law Journal

Four years ago an eminent Canadian jurist denounced the presence of a CBC television crew filming trial participants as they emerged from his courtroom at Osgoode Hall. Chief Justice G. A. Gale of the Ontario Supreme Court found the incident "quite offensive" and bid the crew to leave the hallway and the courthouse "because I was satisfied that their operations constituted an interference with the administration of justice." ' Four years later the Canadian position on the presence of news cameras in the courts and within its precincts has remained unaltered, unbending and, worst of all, uncontroverted. A blanket prohibition …

The Case For Provincial Regulation Of Community Antenna Television Systems In The Wake Of Capital Cities And Dionne, Robert P. Doherty

Dalhousie Law Journal

While observers of the Canadian Constitution may believe that jurisdiction over cable television in this country was finally and clearly given to the federal government and its Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, by the Capital Cities and Dionne cases, there is still much to be decided. If there are any doubts, then consider news reports of November 1978, and January and February 1979 which highlighted the prominence of cable television as a negotiable federal/provincial subject at several conferences. Vibrations from several provincial governments 4 indicate that cable television and data communications are two areas of communications that provinces would dearly …

Defamation In Broadcasting, Keith R. Evans

Dalhousie Law Journal

The law of defamation is not new to the world, nor limited to certain nations: Moses commanded: "Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour." The Far East punished slander. The Twelve Tables of Rome recognized defamation. Early Anglo- Saxon and Germanic laws took a serious view of insult by word or gesture. Punishment included excision of the tongue. In England, a book on libel was written three hundred years ago. Under a French ordinance of the past century the publication of a libel was punished by whipping and on a second offence with death. ' Obviously, the consequences …

Regulation Of Indecency In Political Broadcasting, Jonathan Golomb

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The article considers both the constitutional and statutory aspects of the regulation of indecency in political broadcasting. The discussion is limited to considering "indecency," a term excluding obscenity or incitement to violence, because the government's power to regulate these types of speech is well established. Indecent speech would be protected if used in the print media, since it does not fall within the established First Amendment exceptions. The basic constitutional question, therefore, is whether the broadcast media are inherently different from the print media, so as to justify different treatment of indecent political speech. This article will contend that they …

The Antitrust Consequences Of Manufacturer-Suggested Retail Prices—The Case For Presumptive Illegality, William R. Andersen

Washington Law Review

A manufacturer's suggestion of resale prices to dealers is an example of price-affecting conduct which is said to create no antitrust liability despite the fact that liability would result from identical conduct if the parties were horizontally related. This article argues that permitting parties to tamper with the price term in any fashion risks contravention of the policies behind the antitrust laws, and that making the antitrust consequence turn on whether the parties appear to be related vertically or horizontally is not an intelligible way of minimizing that risk. In conclusion it is recommended that suggested prices should be presumptively …

Political Broadcasting After The Aspen Ruling: Legislative Reform Of Section 315(A) Of The Communications Act Of 1934, Stuart N. Brotman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The FCC's new interpretation of section 315(a) in the Aspen ruling greatly reduced its inhibitory effect on broadcasters. The ruling, however, has created further interpretive problems regarding the broadcast debate format, and has not completely resolved the more general problem of giving the electorate greater and more direct exposure to candidates during campaigns through programming that forces candidates to confront each other on the major issues. This article will discuss the. background of section 315(a), then explain each of its exemptions. Finally, it will propose possible reforms in the area of political broadcasting in light of the Aspen ruling.
