Of Persons And Property: The Politics Of Legal Taxonomy, David Cohen, Allan C. Hutchinson May 1990

Of Persons And Property: The Politics Of Legal Taxonomy, David Cohen, Allan C. Hutchinson

Dalhousie Law Journal

To talk of law without politics or history is nonsensical. All lawyers must concede that what they do takes place in historical circumstances and has political consequences. Every piece of law-making and law-application is a governmental act; it relies on political authority and claims binding force. Moreover, all legal activity occurs within a particular historical context; it is intended to respond to or influence a past, existing or anticipated state of affairs. This means that the study of law must concern itself with politics and history generally: it must not confine itself to only the politics and history of law. …

Doorkeepers: Legal Education In The Territories And Alberta, 1885-1928, Peter M. Sibenik May 1990

Doorkeepers: Legal Education In The Territories And Alberta, 1885-1928, Peter M. Sibenik

Dalhousie Law Journal

Legal education has been subjected to greater scrutiny in common law jurisdictions since the publication of Lawyers and the Courts in 1967.2 Most of the recent literature has addressed the issue of who received a legal education and became entitled to practise law. It has also examined how a conservative-minded profession regenerated itself, and whether it equipped new recruits with the proper tools to meet the challenges of a changing society.

"His Whole Life Was One Of Continual Warfare": John Thomas Bulmer, Lawyer, Librarian And Social Reformer, Philip Girard May 1990

"His Whole Life Was One Of Continual Warfare": John Thomas Bulmer, Lawyer, Librarian And Social Reformer, Philip Girard

Dalhousie Law Journal

There is a small secondary literature on Bulmer. D.C. Harvey provides an authoritative account of his career as Provincial Librarian, while Bulmer's friend Benjamin Russell concentrates on his legal career in a biographical tribute published three decades after his death.4 Aside from passing references to his devotion to the cause of prohibition, however, no one has investigated Bulmer's career as a social reformer. An over-emphasis on Bulmer's admittedly extraordinary personality has prevented a full appreciation of the complexity of this multi-faceted individual; and this gap in turn has tended to obscure an important chapter in Nova Scotian social history. This …

Newfoundland And Dominion Status, Christine Boyle May 1990

Newfoundland And Dominion Status, Christine Boyle

Dalhousie Law Journal

The relationship between Canada and Newfoundland was under stress for a number of different reasons during the eighties. There was a dispute over off-shore mineral rights' as well as concern over French fishing rights.2 For those interested in the relationship, Dr. Gilmore's book, Newfoundland and Dominion3 Status, subtitled The External Affairs Competence and International Law Status of Newfoundland, 1855-1934, therefore provides a useful historical background as well as fascinating information about the constitutional development of Newfoundland. This may be of interest as well to constitutional and international scholars generally as well as to Newfoundland's neighbours in the Maritimes.

The Fiercest Debate: Cecil A. Wright, The Benchers And Legal Education In Ontario 1923-1957, W R. Lederman May 1990

The Fiercest Debate: Cecil A. Wright, The Benchers And Legal Education In Ontario 1923-1957, W R. Lederman

Dalhousie Law Journal

In the dozen years after the end of the Second World War, long-standing conflicts about the nature of education for the legal profession in Ontario became especially acute. Fortunately, climax and successful compromise came in 1957. In that year the Law Society of Upper Canada, which had controlled legal education and admission to practice from the early days of the Colony of Upper Canada, gave up its monopoly of legal education and conceded an equal position in this respect to Ontario universities willing and able to enter the field. Several were, and promptly did so. Indeed the University of Toronto …

Matrimonial Bonds: Slavery And Divorce In Nineteenth-Century America, Elizabeth B. Clark Apr 1990

Matrimonial Bonds: Slavery And Divorce In Nineteenth-Century America, Elizabeth B. Clark

Publications

In the covenant of marriage, woman is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master -- the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement. He has so framed the law of divorce . . . as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of women -- the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of man, and giving all power into his hands.

Virtues And Voices, Lawrence B. Solum Apr 1990

Virtues And Voices, Lawrence B. Solum

Faculty Scholarship

This essay explores two ideas that have recently played an important role in discourse about the American constitutional order. The first idea has emerged from the revival of civic republicanism. The republican revival has focused our attention on the classical conception of civic virtue. Our basic social arrangements ought to nourish a citizenry with the characteristics of mind and will that promote human flourishing. The second idea, expressed in critical race theory and feminist jurisprudence, is that we have an obligation as a society and as scholars to attend to excluded voices. The juxtaposition of these two themes offers an …

Women, Mothers, And The Law Of Fright: A History, Martha Chamallas, Linda K. Kerber Feb 1990

Women, Mothers, And The Law Of Fright: A History, Martha Chamallas, Linda K. Kerber

Michigan Law Review

This article presents a gendered history of the law's treatment of fright-based physical injuries. Our goal is to connect the law of fright to the changing cultural and intellectual forces of the twentieth century. Through a feminist lens, we reexamine the accounts of the legal treatment of fright-based injuries offered by Victorian-erajurists, traditionalist legal scholars of the first two decades of the twentieth century, a legal realist in the 1930s, and a Freudian medical-legal commentator from the 1940s, all of whom helped to shape present-day tort doctrine. We conclude with an account of Dillon v. Legg, in which the …
