Lawyers And The Nuclear Debate, Malcolm Shaw Oct 1990

Lawyers And The Nuclear Debate, Malcolm Shaw

Dalhousie Law Journal

The volume under review constitutes a valuable and exciting contribution to the whole nuclear debate. Its distinctiveness, perhaps, lies in the format. A mix of more formal and prepared papers, less formal papers, interventions and discussions provides an interesting example of the genre. While one is clearly not dealing with an academic treatise, the style of the compilation enhances the feeling of acute concern, spontaneity and the sense of the contemporary significance of the whole enterprise.

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.

New England Journal of Public Policy

How Should Lawyers And Legal Profession Adapt?, S Gm Grange Jan 1990

How Should Lawyers And Legal Profession Adapt?, S Gm Grange

Dalhousie Law Journal

Of all the love affairs with which the people of this world have been blessed or afflicted, that between public inquiries and the media is certainly one of the strangest. I have been in and about the law for over 40 years and in that time I say immodestly I have pleaded, what to me were, some very interesting cases and I have in the last 14 years had occasion to sit in judgment on some, not only interesting but, perhaps important cases.
