The Faculty Of Law, University Of British Columbia 1981-90, Joost Blom
The Faculty Of Law, University Of British Columbia 1981-90, Joost Blom
Dalhousie Law Journal
It may be uninspiring to begin a sketch of the UBC Law Faculty since 1981 by talking about money, but the Faculty's financial circumstances during this period are the key to much of what follows. For about five years from 1982, the provincial government's fiscal watchword was "restraint", which so far as the universities were concerned meant, in the early years, actually cutting operating grants and, later on, keeping a fairly tight lid on them. UBC's budget fell in absolute terms for three successive years, and continued to slip in real terms for another year or two. The Law Faculty …

Law Faculty Developments At Calgary, 1984-1989, Margaret E. Hughes
Dalhousie Law Journal
The Calgary Law Faculty is the youngest of the Canadian Law Schools, having been established in 1976. During the period under review the Faculty tackled developmental challenges that older Canadian law schools had faced years ago in generally less stringent economic times.

This article is about the history of an idea, and about the curriculum of a Faculty of Law within which that idea has been pursued for more than a century. Its purpose is to explore the intellectual origins of the current National Programme of legal education at McGill University, to review the circumstances of its establishment agd evolution over the past two decades, and to evaluate its prospects as the Faculty's sesquicentennial celebrations approach.

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.

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 …

Most Canadians attach a great deal of importance to commissions of inquiry. When commissions of inquiry are appointed and when they report, great public attention is usually focussed on the substantive and serious issues discussed.

Legal Education In Saskatchewan 1982-1988, Daniel I. Ish
Dalhousie Law Journal
My predecessor in the office of dean, Don Clark, in an article in this Journal approximately six years ago, described in his usual eloquent fashion the development of the little law school on the prairie from its genesis in 1910. In these pages I will attempt to outline some of the developments in the College of Law during my six years as dean. I intend to adopt an intuitive, first-person narrative which, I hope, will not be too self-serving in its description of the College of Law between 1982 and 1988.
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
Dalhousie Law Journal
Legal education, while always a subject of fascination to law students and professors, only periodically becomes a matter of more general interest. But that is what I believe has happened in Canada in the mid-1980s as the result of three publishing events.

Educating Men And Women For Service Through Law: Osgoode Hall Law School 1963-1988, Mary Jane Mossman
Dalhousie Law Journal
My work... has assumed the shape of ... a spiral curriculum, circling around the same issues, though trying to keep them open-ended. This statement was penned by Northrop Frye in Spiritus Mundi in the context of reflections about creativity and literary criticism, but it aptly describes as well the intellectual ferment of writing about legal education in Canada during the past few decades. Indeed, Frye's suggestion that the above quotation "may be only a rationalization for not having budged an inch in eighteen years ' may similarly offer an important clue about the legal education debate in Canada and the …

Le Droit Dans Tous Ses États. La Question Du Droit Au Québec 1970-1987, Philip P. Girard
Dalhousie Law Journal
This book contains 30 essays covering many aspects of Quebec law,' divided into five sections: l'Etat, les personnes, les conditions de vie, les organisations, and a final section entitled l'émergence d'une science juridique. The contributions are united in a formal sense in two ways: their authors are all professors in the department of sciences juridiques at l'Université du Québec à Montréal, and they all focus on developments in the period 1970-1987. Thematically, the pieces are united, according to the preface at any rate, in providing, "une lecture critique de l'évolution des tendances de notre droit" during this agitated, exhilarating and …

Les Sciences Jurisdiques À L'Université Du Québec À Montréal: Fifteen Years Later, Robert D. Bureau, Carol Jobin
Dalhousie Law Journal
The experiment of the Law Department as a new approach to legal education has been going on now for 15 years. It has directly involved more than 1,500 people as students, instructors (professors and sessional lecturers) and support staff (administrative and library personnel, etc.). This experiment has a unique identity, indeed a distinctive image, which has given rise to a certain amount of controversy in the Quebec legal milieu. Especially since the debates stemming from the publication of the Law and Learning Report, it seems that the experiment has also aroused a certain amount of curiosity in the Canadian legal …

The Teaching Of International Law At The Université De Montréal: The 1971 To 1985 Period, Daniel Turp
Dalhousie Law Journal
The teaching of International Law at the Universit6 de Montr6al has continued to be of primary importance during the 14 academic years comprised between the years 1971 to 1985. This importance is evidenced by staff members devoting themselves, on a full-time basis, to international law and by the significant number of guest professors, sessional lecturers and teaching assistants that have been involved in the teaching of international law.

The Canadian Institute Of Resources Law At Calgary, Constance D. Hunt
Dalhousie Law Journal
When the University of Calgary's Law Faculty was established in 1976, one of its mandates was to develop a specialized program in resources and environmental law. This process was embarked upon immediately through the use of many resources law issues as teaching vehicles in firstyear courses such as constitutional and property law, and the development of an upper-year curriculum that featured several courses and programs in resources and environmental law. As well, generous contributions from Calgary law firms and corporations resulted in the partial endowment of a Chair of Natural Resources Law.

Quebec Legal Education Since 1945: Cultural Paradoxes And Traditional Ambiguities, J Ec Brierley
Dalhousie Law Journal
Some remarkable things have occurred in Quebec legal education over the last forty years. All phases of the educational process have been the object of an official government enquiry (as a consequence of widespread student discontent that led to street demonstrations); a major sociological and futuristic study of the profession and of university studies has attempted to stimulate a major shift in the intellectual orientations of legal education to ready us for the year 2000; the loss by the Quebec legal professions of lawyers and notaries of substantial power to the profit of a government agency regulating all professions in …

The Path Of Legal Education From Edward I To Langdell: A History Of Insular Reaction, Ralph Michael Stein
The Path Of Legal Education From Edward I To Langdell: A History Of Insular Reaction, Ralph Michael Stein
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article presents an analytic overview of key aspects in the history of legal education in England and the United States from the time of Edward I to the end of the last century. The response of lawyers and legal educators to the perceived need to protect the profession from a variety of ills and plagues is explored. The development of a sense of professionalism by those engaged in the teaching of law, a sense of professionalism that was reactive to public perception about lawyers as well as to academic dismay at the roles played by lawyers, will be explored …
The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson
The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
Many methods of legal education have been used over the years. Each has its strengths and its weaknesses. The study of the past is instructive and useful in showing both the good and bad goals and methods. We must cultivate the good and uproot the bad. This study suggests that there has always been progress, slow but constant improvement. The teaching of law is vital to the administration of justice, a noble cause. The continuing challenge is ever to strive for the improvement thereof.

Learning The Law-Thoughts Toward A Human Perspective, Thomas L. Shaffer, Robert S. Redmount
Journal Articles
The history of American legal education is notable for a sparsity of ideas on how to convey learning about law. There has been even less focal understanding of what learning is and what it takes to establish a process which will prepare lawyers for their profession. A window on this history was provided in historical survey by Alfred Z. Reed in 1921 and, more recently, by Professors Preble Stolz and Calvin Woodward. It is principally their accounts of eighteenth and nineteenth century developments that we here briefly integrate and summarize. The perspective-a consideration of legal education in terms of social …
Studying Law As The Possibility Of Principled Action, Gordon A. Christenson
Studying Law As The Possibility Of Principled Action, Gordon A. Christenson
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The study of law may be viewed as the critical analysis of a system of logically coherent rules governing action. In the United States, the responsibility for legal education has traditionally fallen upon the law schools. Within the legal profession and law schools a restive spirit now prevails, seeking to further clarify the meaning of that responsibility.' Two responses appear in the law schools, for good or ill.

Comparative Legal Research, Some Remarks On "Looking Out Of The Cave", Hessel E. Yntema
Michigan Law Review
Despite this risk and without limiting discussion of comparative legal research to a Platonic theory of knowledge-to which I for one would not accede-the text prompts first the inquiry, unavoidable in a constructive discussion of the matter, whether contemporary legal study in the United States is concerned with shadows in an intellectual cave-or in other words, whether it is true, as I was told years ago, partly perhaps in jest, by a late distinguished member of the Supreme Court, then Attorney General, when, encountering me on a visit to the Department of Justice, he kindly asked what I was looking …

Commentaries On The Constitution Of The United States : With A Preliminary Review Of The Constitutional History Of The Colonies And States Before The Adoption Of The Constitution, Joseph Story, Thomas M. Cooley
Books
From the Editor's Preface: “In preparing for the press a fourth edition of Mr. Justice Story’s Commentaries on the Constitution, it has been thought proper to preserve the original text without alteration or interpolation, and to put in notes all discussions by the editor, as well as all references to subsequent adjudications, public papers, and events, tending to illustrate, support, or qualify the positions assumed in the text. The new amendments, however, seemed to demand treatment in the body of the work, and additional chapters are given for that purpose….”
