Educating Men And Women For Service Through Law: Osgoode Hall Law School 1963-1988, Mary Jane Mossman
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 …
Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson
Lord Mansfield And Negotiable Instruments, Jane D. Samson
Dalhousie Law Journal
In any system of judge-made law the longevity, education and character of a judge have enhanced significance. The idea of a judge personifies Justice, blinded and impartial, but the law he creates will inevitably be infused with his personality. Where an individual develops an entire system of law, his contribution to legal history can be overwhelming. Lord Mansfield remains a case in point.
Le Droit Dans Tous Ses États. La Question Du Droit Au Québec 1970-1987, Philip P. Girard
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 …

Maximilien Bibaud, 1823-1887: The Pioneer Teacher Of International Law In Canada, R Stj Macdonald
Dalhousie Law Journal
Maximilien Bibaud was a most unusual man: student of philosophy, history, and literature, teacher, author, chronicler and reformer of the law, founder of the first organized law school in Canada, true pioneer of the teaching of international law in this country. Insolently but exhilaratingly new in both his ideas and his techniques for legal education, Bibaud was far in advance of his time. As we mark the centenary of his death in 1987, his interests and achievements are as relevant today as they were when he opened his law school 136 years ago.
The Legal Chapter In The Jin-Shu, Jutta Brunnée
The Legal Chapter In The Jin-Shu, Jutta Brunnée
Dalhousie Law Journal
Relatively little is still known of law and legal thinking in ancient China. This recent book by Robert Heuser sheds some light on this era. The book, published in German, draws upon a chapter of the Jin-Shu dynastic chronicle which surveys the events in the Chinese Empire of the first centuries, A.D.

The Evolution Of Law: Continued, Alan Watson
The Evolution Of Law: Continued, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
In my book The Evolution of Law I sought to give a general theory of legal evolution based on detailed legal examples from which generalizations could be drawn, offering as few examples as were consistent with my case in order to present as clear a picture as possible. I was well aware as I was writing that some critics would regard the examples as mere isolated aberrations and for them and for other readers who, whether convinced of the thesis or not, would like further evidence, I want here to bring forward a few extra significant examples.
Les Sciences Jurisdiques À L'Université Du Québec À Montréal: Fifteen Years Later, Robert D. Bureau, Carol Jobin
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 Law School At Windsor 1967-1987: A Teenager Comes Of Age, Neil Gold, Julio R. Menezes
Dalhousie Law Journal
The University of Windsor was established by Act of the Legislature of Ontario on July 1, 1963, one hundred and six years following an enactment by the Province of Canada to establish its predecessor, Assumption College. The new University was a federation of this Catholic College and other Christian denominational institutions, together with Essex College, a non-denominational college.

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
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
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 …
Angels And Infidels: Hierarchy And Historicism In Medieval Legal History, Guyora Binder
Angels And Infidels: Hierarchy And Historicism In Medieval Legal History, Guyora Binder
Buffalo Law Review
In Law and Revolution, author Harold Berman argued that our society’s commitment to law’s autonomy and to law’s efficacy for social change are persuasively synthesized in an idea of legal science originally developed by medieval canon lawyers to justify the centralization of authority under the Pope. According to Berman, this idea of progress through law became the model for the modern state and inspired progressive social change. This essay challenges these claims. It argues that medieval scholasticism had a static view of history and that Berman systematically misreads synchronic representations of hierarchy and dominion in scholastic thought as diachronic representations …

Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg
Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This essay argues for the need to study the legal history of the American family. It does so by combining a critique of secondary literature in family and legal history with examples from nineteenth-century domestic relations law. These examples, drawn from family law doctrines on seduction under the cover of a marriage promise, runaway marriages, and bastardy, are used to indicate the benefits of adding a sociocultural dimension to legal history and legal and institutional dimensions to family history. Three main themes in the history of nineteenth-century domestic relations law are developed to make these points: the law's particular fabric …
Ambivalent Legacy: A Legal History Of The South, Herbert A. Johnson
Ambivalent Legacy: A Legal History Of The South, Herbert A. Johnson
Vanderbilt Law Review
This volume of essays generated by a February 1983 conference at the University of Southern Mississippi represents a major step in the advancement of the legal history of the South.' Not only does the collection raise challenging questions concerning the history of law in the South, but it also presents outstanding examples of what can be accomplished when legal historians turn their attention to this region and the states that comprise it. Covering abroad geographical and topical range in individualistic fashion, the essays are, for the most part, well researched and written with clarity and style. This Review will address …
