Community Legal Workers At Parkdale Community Legal Services October 1977, Katie Mcgovern, Frederick H. Zemans

Books

Since its opening in September 1971, Parkdale Community Legal Services has served as both a neighbourhood law office and as Osgoode Hall Law School's first clinical training setting. Law students have been the primary deliverers of legal.services, with a growing number of staff lawyers, articling students, and practitioners supervising the student caseload. But most law students spend only one semester at Parkdale; therefore the staff lawyers and especially the community legal workers must provide continuity within the office and serve as the conduit to the Parkdale community.

The Law Reform Commission Of British Columbia A Perspective, K. B. Farquhar

Dalhousie Law Journal

The Law Reform Commission of British Columbia was constituted by the Law Reform Commission Act' which became law on July 1, 1969. The Commission began functioning in 1970, and is therefore nearing the end of its sixth year of activity. As the original programme of the Commission was designed to be completed in five years, it is appropriate that this opportunity should arise for both retrospective and prospective reflection on its work. The first six years of the Commission's life have been productive and comparatively successful in terms of the subsequent legislative history of its Reports, but for present purposes …

Third-Year Practice Rules In Virginia: Notes For The Practitioner, George K. Walker

University of Richmond Law Review

It is pleasing to know that all courts sitting in Virginia have provided for student participation in the processing of cases. Within the boundaries of the Commonwealth, there is a uniform recognition of the need and appropriateness of judicial cooperation in the process of educating young men and women in the law.

The Law Reform Commission Of Canada, John Barnes

Dalhousie Law Journal

The work of the Law Reform Commission of Canada prompts a reconsideration of our understanding of the meaning and process of law reform.1 After referring to one recent attempt in England to change the law of evidence in criminal cases, I will review certain misconceptions about the meaning of law reform and then consider the extent to which these misconceptions have been avoided by the Canadian commission.

The Nova Scotia Law Reform Advisory Commission: An Early Appraisal, Loane Skene

Dalhousie Law Journal

The Nova Scotia Law Reform Advisory Commission has now been in existence for two and a half years, having been established by the Law Reform Act 19691 and constituted by an Order of the Governor in Council on January 25, 1972. As the members of the Commission are appointed for a period of two years, the term of appointment of the first members of the Commission expired on January 25 this year, but new members were not in fact appointed until June 25 this year. From February to June, the Commission was more or less in limbo. In view of …

Some Regulatory Implications Of Technology Assessment, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

To conclude this wide-ranging panel discussion, I want to briefly address two aspects of regulation which have been troublesome, and for which Technology Assessment may be particularly useful.

The first aspect, which relates to radiation and other hazardous substances in general, is the increasingly important regulatory function of forcing the development and application of appropriate control technologies on industry-normally, the development and application of devices and techniques to protect public and worker health and safety. The question becomes: Is the regulatory program appropriately forcing and guiding necessary advances in control techniques and their timely use?

The Rescripts Of The Emperor Probus (276-282 A.D.), Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

In an earlier study, I examined the private law in the rescripts of Carus and his two sons, the Emperors who ruled from 282 to 284, immediately before the accession of Diocletian, and found as the main conclusion that, despite everything, the quality of legal decision had remained reasonably high. This paper considers the four rescripts that survive from the troubled reign of the preceding Emperor, Probus. None contains a great legal innovation; none shows a drastic lowering of legal standards. Their importance lies in what they reveal about general matters. Despite the enormous military and economic problems of the …

Crime Compensation, Richard Cosway

Washington Law Review

Washington has adopted a system of compensation for innocent victims of crimes, the eleventh state to do so. The principal characteristic which distinguishes the new Washington Act from other present and proposed programs is the connection between it and Industrial Insurance, more commonly known as Workmen's Compensation. This connection has at least three significant consequences: (1) Because the victim is equated with an on-the-job injured employee, the amount of an individual's award is geared to the amount an injured workman or dependents of a deceased workman would receive; (2) the administration of the new program is assigned to the Department …

Book Review: Where Do I Go From Here? A Career Planning Manual For Lawyers, Kathleen Kruger

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Kathleen Kruger, the Director of Placement for NYU Law School reviews Frances Utley's book, Where Do I Go From Here? A Career Planning Manual for Lawyers. Kruger expresses doubt that one may "plan" a legal career, but that gathering as much information as possible can help and that Utley's book is helpful in this regard. Kruger concludes, however, that some of Utley's book is overly optimistic with respect to the number and variety of career options available to lawyers in the current market.
