Law Schools Under Attack, D. A. Soberman

Dalhousie Law Journal

We are in danger of losing the creative tension in Canadian legal education, a creative tension that has made the enterprise worthwhile. Let me explain this rather large claim. The academic study of law has a long history of close association with universities of the western world. Law was a founding faculty at the University of Bologna and formed part of all the great early universities of mediaeval Europe. Despite the fact that many students in these universities today do go on to careers in law, the study of law remains an undergraduate liberal discipline for large numbers who do …

Developments In Legal Education At Mcgill, 1970-1980, J. E. C. Brierley

Dalhousie Law Journal

In order to trace the developments in legal education at McGill during the last decade, it is first of all necessary to recall the principal initiatives which occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. These were, in chronological order, the creation of the Institute of Air & Space Law in 1951 and the offering of higher degrees in that speciality; the creation of the Institute of Comparative Law in 1965 to give particular focus to graduate work at McGill in fields other than air and space law; and the institution, in 1968, of a programme of undergraduate study leading to the …

Teaching The Common Law In The French Language, Michel Bastarache

Dalhousie Law Journal

There are many difficulties associated with the setting up of a new law school; these difficulties were compounded at the Universit6 de Moncton with considerations relative to the language of instruction, the particularities of the clientele, it being relatively small and unconcentrated geographically, the lack of a legal tradition in French language communities outside of Quebec. My purpose here is not to analyse in a general way the experience of the last four years at the Universit6 de Moncton, but to consider only one aspect of this experience, the one which is the most often put to me in the …

Law At Western: 1968-1982, Philip Slayton

Dalhousie Law Journal

How to assess a decade or more at a law school? Bare facts - the numbers of students and professors, growth in budgets, courses added and dropped, etc. - have the advantage of objectivity (colleagues cannot disagree even were the facts uncongenial), but will leave some important things unsaid. For example, what have been "environmental" advantages and disadvantages, and how has the School responded to them? And what has been the change in the quality of the School's endeavours; especially, has the Faculty become better? These questions -and particularly the second - are not easy to address. A law school's …

La Facultd De Droit De I'Universitd Laval De 1970 A Nos Jours, Ivan Bernier

Dalhousie Law Journal

La Facult6 de droit de l'Universit6 Laval, depuis le tout debut des ann6es 1970, se trouve engag6e dans une transformation en profondeur de ses structures, de son programme et de ses orientations. Trois p6riodes peuvent 8tre distingu6es dans cette 6volution r6cente. La premi6re, qui recoupe en gros les ann6es 1970-1975, concerne essentiellement les structures de l'enseignement de ler cycle. La seconde, qui s'6tend de 1975 A 1980, peut 8tre consid6r6e comme une p6riode de consolidation. Enfin la trosi~me, qui d6bute avec la nouvelle decade, en est une de remise en question de son programme et de ses orientations.

Legal Education In Saskatchewan: The Last Ten Years, Donald H. Clark

Dalhousie Law Journal

It may appear immodest to note how appropriate it is that the Dalhousie Law Journal should include Saskatchewan in this survey of recent trends in Canadian legal education. Yet from an historical standpoint, the ties between the respective universities have always been strong, and the influence of native Maritimers on the development of the College of Law in Saskatoon, as my colleague Howard McConnell (himself a New Brunswicker) observes in Prairie Justice, "can hardly be overestimated".' The University's first President, Walter Murray, brought west in 1909 one of his former students at Dalhousie, Arthur Moxon, destined to become the College …

Recent Developments In Legal Education At The University Of Toronto, Frank Iacobucci

Dalhousie Law Journal

As has been the case in other Canadian law schools, the period of the 1970's and early 1980's has seen a number of significant changes in legal education at the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto. These changes reflect several underlying themes. The first is that the Law School should remain committed to its strengths in the common law and traditional legal subjects. The second is that we in law schools have much to gain from other disciplines in the teaching and sLudying of lav esp6al-y r times -when -nev areas of la-, praifkularly those spawned by technological …

The University Of New Brunswick Faculty Of Law, Edward Veitch

Dalhousie Law Journal

Approaching twenty years ago Dean Ryan Q.C. (now Mr. Justice Ryan of the Federal Court, Appeal Division) described concisely' the development of the institution from a professional training school to a University faculty within the old, established provincial University.2 He dealt successively with the make-up of the student body, the growth of the curriculum, the educational background of the teachers and mentioned the stresses and strains of growth. It is now appropriate to bring all of that information up to date. At the outset it must be observed that the transmogrification from training school to department within the academy has …

The Emergence Of A General Reformation Doctrine For Wills, Lawrence W. Waggoner, John H. Langbein

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Although it has been axiomatic that our courts do not entertain suits to reform wills on the ground of mistake, appellate courts in New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and California have decided cases within the last several years that may presage the abandonment of the ancient "no-reformation" rule. (In re Snide, 52 N.Y.2d 193, 418 N.E.2d 656, 437 N.Y.S.2d 63 (1981); Estate of Kremlick, 331 N.W.2d 228 (Mich. 1983); Engle v. Siegel, 74 N.J. 287, 377 A.2d 892 (1977); and Estate of Taff, 63 Cal. App. 3d 319, 133 Cal.Rptr. 737 (1976).)

The new cases do not purport to make …

The Japanese Law In English: Some Thoughts On Scope And Method, Dan F. Henderson

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Japanese law is a fledgling topic of comparative law in this country. The rapid growth of bilateral business and the integration of the United States and Japanese economies in recent years suggest the need for increased attention to this area. This Article first examines the prewar antecedents and the postwar developments of Japanese law in English in this country. It then reviews the present law school environment for the study of Japanese law as a comparative law subject. Finally, it briefly addresses three key issues basic to the development of this subject.

Professional Competence And Social Responsibility: Fulfilling The Vanderbilt Vision, Sandra D. O'Connor

Vanderbilt Law Review

In our laudable attempt to train law students to "think like lawyers" by teaching them legal method, we must not lose sight of the fact that questions of professional responsibility cannot properly be resolved with the same legal framework of analysis. Rather,we must see that as professionals with almost exclusive access to our system of justice, we have moral responsibilities totally outside the scope of the legal rules, and not amenable to analysis in terms of legal method. It is time to return to consideration of the moral and spiritual foundations of our legal system. It is time to train …
