Lighting A Spark, Playing With Fire: Feminism, Emotions, And The Legal Imagination Of Campus Sexual Violence, Daniel Del Gobbo
Lighting A Spark, Playing With Fire: Feminism, Emotions, And The Legal Imagination Of Campus Sexual Violence, Daniel Del Gobbo
Dalhousie Law Journal
Feminist law and policymakers have been inspired by collectively generated experiences of emotion that help to shape what counts as justice and injustice in campus sexual violence cases. Focusing on events surrounding the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry in 2014–2015, this article explains how emotional incitements in the case contributed to an infrastructure that supported formal and specifically carceral responses to campus sexual violence. Correspondingly, this article explains why alternative modes of legal and political formation that challenged the premises of the formal law, including restorative justice, were misread by some commentators as a form of “weak justice” and therefore …

Origin Of Jeofail, M. P. Furmston
Dalhousie Law Journal
In their interesting note on the origin of "Jeofail",' Doctors Baker and Arnold suggest that the word is derived from jeu-faille (= game-fail) and say that "A 'game-fail' in chess was presumably a stalemate; neither party could win, so the game failed or ended. "2 Since it has long been known that "jeopardy" has a chess origin3 (either from the old French "jeu parti" or the Latin "jocus partitus" = game in the balance and hence an uncertain chance) this explanation has an obvious attraction. Indeed in view of the alphabetical work habits of-lexicographers it is surprising that the suggestion …
