The Changing Common Law, Morton J. Horwitz Nov 1984

The Changing Common Law, Morton J. Horwitz

Dalhousie Law Journal

I am very pleased and honoured to have been asked to participate in this centennial celebration. For me, it underlines the common bonds between the people of Canada and of the United States, who, in spite of various stresses and strains, manage to live side by side in peace and mutual respect. May we continue to set an example for the rest of the world. Until I read John Willis' very interesting history of Dalhousie Law School, I had not fully realized that I am here simply as another link in a long-standing relationship between Dalhousie and Harvard Law Schools. …


The Future Of The Common Law Tradition, Alan Watson Nov 1984

The Future Of The Common Law Tradition, Alan Watson

Dalhousie Law Journal

The majority of Western systems of private law is habitually divided by scholars into civil law systems and common law systems. Eastern Canada fortunately partakes of both traditions - the civil law in Quebec and common law in the other provinces. One difference between the two traditions is the greater and earlier emphasis that was placed on the teaching of civil law in universities. In conformity to this, Quebec had three university law schools before the common law provinces had any; they were McGill (established in 1848), Laval (established in 1854), and Laval in Montreal (in 1878). But Dalhousie was …

The Common Law In The Twentieth Century, A. J. Stone Q.C. Oct 1983

The Common Law In The Twentieth Century, A. J. Stone Q.C.

Dalhousie Law Journal

Comparing the judicial with the legislative approach to law-making is the stuff of academic debate. I do not propose to enter upon that debate in this short discussion, except to concede that each approach has its strengths, each its weaknesses, and each its separate role. My purpose is, rather, to examine the making of law by the judiciary as it illustrates the inherent capacity of the common law for change and for growth in a dynamic society. This century has seen several extraordinary developments of the common law in Canada, England, and the United States, the leading example of which …

Law Reform In Quebec: A Cautionary Note, Philip Slayton Sep 1975

Law Reform In Quebec: A Cautionary Note, Philip Slayton

Dalhousie Law Journal

Law reform is everywhere in Canada. On all sides substantial changes in diverse areas of the law are constantly being proposed by government organizations whose only purpose is to make such proposals. The reforms mooted by these bodies (these reforms are typically described as "long overdue") are generally welcomed as correcting deficiencies in law and as signalling the legal system's responsiveness to changing social and other standards. Is the law reform pace, if not furious, too fast? What is the most appropriate forum for initiating change in law? Such questions seem reasonable enough, and yet a traditionalist might well argue …

The Equity Jurisdiction Of The Exchequer, William Hamilton Bryson Jan 1972

The Equity Jurisdiction Of The Exchequer, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

The equity jurisdiction of the Exchequer has been so overshadowed by the equity jurisdiction of the Chancery and that of other courts that there is today only a foggy awareness that it ever existed. Therefore it is the purpose of this communication to locate this court .within the course of English legal history and to say a word or two about its development.

Developments In Legal Education, Faculty Of Law, Civil Law Section, University Of Ottawa, Raymond A. Landry Jun 1956

Developments In Legal Education, Faculty Of Law, Civil Law Section, University Of Ottawa, Raymond A. Landry

Dalhousie Law Journal

The present Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa was inaugurated in 1953, although law had been taught at the Institution from 1887 to shortly before the First World War. This first venture in the teaching of the law was addressed to students both from Ontario and Quebec and the objective of the Faculty, at that time, was to teach both legal systems and to prepare students for the practice of law in both provinces. We will endeavour to present the developments in legal education from the perspective of the Civil Law Section although, unavoidably, the presence of the …
