The State Of The Canon In Constitutional Law: Lessons From The Jurisprudence Of John Marshall, David E. Marion
The State Of The Canon In Constitutional Law: Lessons From The Jurisprudence Of John Marshall, David E. Marion
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
Constitutional law has been an active battlefield as competing groups within the academy seek to deconstruct, reconstruct, and/or relegitimize the teaching and practice of law in the United States. Much of the rhetoric of the debate is couched in the language of rights. There is a danger that diminished attention to powers in the rhetoric and teaching of constitutional law may compromise sober and moderate constitutional reasoning.

The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery
Brian Slattery
The problem examined in this work is whether the land rights originally held by Canada's Indigenous peoples survived the process whereby the British Crown acquired sovereignty over their territories, and, if so, in what form.

The author has examined the historical evidence with a fresh eye, in the light of contemporaneous legal authorities. Due consideration is given to modern case-law, but the primary focus is upon the historical process proper.
