University of Toronto Press Memoirs and Reflections
Book SynopsisFrom “the Kid” on the Varsity Blues football team to “the Chief” at Osgoode Hall, R. Roy McMurtry has had a remarkably varied and influential career. As reformist attorney general of Ontario, one of the architects of the agreement that brought about the patriation of the Canadian Constitution, high commissioner to the United Kingdom, and chief justice of Ontario, he made a large and enduring contribution to Canadian law, politics, and life.These memoirs cover all these facets of his remarkable career, as well as his law practice, his work on various commissions of inquiry, and his reflections on family, sport, and art. This volume is both an account of his life in public service and a portrait of a humane, humorous, still optimistic, and always decent man.Trade Review'Memoirs, adds another dimension to a set of remarkable first-hand impressions of critical moments in Canadian history (including the patriation of the constitution), and a perspective on the idealism that made numerous achievements possible.' -- Ryan Alford Ontario History, Autumn 2016 "Here is a book that should be mandatory reading for every first year law student in Canada, as it is not only filled with a valuable history lesson about our legal profession but it also establishes some benchmarks that young lawyers might set for themselves as they launch their careers." -- Michael Cochrane JUST Magazine 'Memoirs and Reflections is a reader's delight... McMurtry's style is strong, elegant, and balanced to match a public and private life that cannot fail to fascinate and impress.' -- Jane Mattison Ekstam, British Journal of Canadian Studies, vol 28:01:2015 'Memoirs and Reflections is a reader's delight...

University of Toronto Press The Thousandth Man
Book SynopsisJames McGregor Stewart (1889-1955) was perhaps the foremost Canadian corporate lawyer of his day. He was also an appellate counsel, venture capitalist, Conservative Party fundraiser, bibliographer of Rudyard Kipling, and sometime university teacher of classics. A leader of the bar in the inter-war period, he was the first Maritimer to serve as president of the Canadian Bar Association. He distinguished himself mainly in constitutional cases before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. During his career, Stewart was also head of the leading law firm in eastern Canada (now Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales), director and vice-president of the Royal Bank of Canada, and senior counsel to the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations.Above all, Stewart was committed to the idea of law as a truly learned profession and to the bar as the most important legal institution. To this day, no lawyer has held such prestige and power both within and outside Atlantic Canada;

That must be right; but, as told by Gilmore, Benjamin's is an inspiring story of what can be achieved by a lad o' pairts from humble beginnings. The book is short but engrossing, and comes highly recommended." -Sheriff Alastair N Brown, Journal of the Law Society of Scotland

MU - University of Texas Press Sharpening the Legal Mind How to Think Like a
Book SynopsisAn introduction to what every law student and practitioner needs to know about legal reasoning.Trade ReviewBill Powers earned august titles over his distinguished career at the University of Texas at Austin, including Professor, Dean, and President. But Teacher was the role he most cherished, one in which he was both brilliant and beloved. Sharpening the Legal Mind shows Powers at his best, helping law students and interested citizens better understand what legal reasoning is, and why it is what it is, by making vivid the competing pictures of law, and of life, in which legal practice is embedded. Law school—the first year in particular—can feel confusing and provoke anxiety. It can be a challenging journey. Powers is a wise and humane guide to its rewards. -- Mitchell Berman, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law SchoolPart of what made Bill Powers such a gifted dean, and later, university president, was that he never lost his infectious enthusiasm for the life of the mind and for abstract and foundational questions about the law. Readers who did not know Bill as a student or colleague will discover here that side of his intellectual personality. The first three chapters, in particular, are a lovely and lively introduction to legal reasoning, accessible even to the novice. -- Brian Leiter, University of Chicago Law SchoolIn Sharpening the Legal Mind, [Powers] gives accessible insights into how lawyers think, including the roles of philosophy, morality, and the court system in shaping the law...the book offers a primer on legal reasoning and demystifies often-convoluted topics. * Alcalde *Table of Contents Editor’s Preface 1. “I Want My Old Mind Back” 2. “The Case of the Speluncean Explorers” 3.

New York University Press The Law of Law School
Book SynopsisOffers one hundred rules that every first year law student should live byDear Law Student: Here's the truth. You belong here. Law professor Andrew Ferguson and former student Jonathan Yusef Newton open with this statement of reassurance in The Law of Law School. As all former law students and current lawyers can attest, law school is disorienting, overwhelming, and difficult. Unlike other educational institutions, law school is not set up simply to teach a subject. Instead, the first year of law school is set up to teach a skill set and way of thinking, which you then apply to do the work of lawyering. What most first-year students don't realize is that law school has a code, an unwritten rulebook of decisions and traditions that must be understood in order to succeed. The Law of Law School endeavors to distill this common wisdom into one hundred easily digestible rules. From self-care tips such as Remove the Drama, to studying tricks like Prepare for Class like an Appellate ArgumentTrade Review"A powerful, timely, and relatable guide!

New York University Press American Legal Education Abroad
Book SynopsisA critical history of the Americanization of legal education in fourteen countriesThe second half of the twentieth century witnessed the export of American powerboth hard and softthroughout the world. What role did US cultural and economic imperialism play in legal education? American Legal Education Abroad offers an unprecedented and surprising picture of the history of legal education in fourteen countries beyond the United States. Each study in this book represents a critical history of the Americanization of legal education, reexamining prevailing narratives of exportation, transplantation, and imperialism. Collectively, these studies challenge the conventional wisdom that American ideas and practices have dominated globally. Editors Susan Bartie and David Sandomierski and their contributors suggest that to understand legal education and to respond thoughtfully to the mounting present-day challenges, it is essential to look beyond a particular region and consider not only the ideTrade Review"Bartie and Sandiomerski have brought together a distinguished group of authors who together encourage us to reflect on the extent to which the American model of legal education has been accommodated (or resisted) around the world. In addition to providing revealing insights into the ways in which different jurisdictions have interpreted the notion itself, the collection succeeds in demonstrating the ways in which local circumstances have influenced the way reception of American legal education has played out, with very different results. A fascinating read." -- Fiona Cownie, Professor of Law Emerita, Keele University"This fascinating collection of essays by eminent legal scholars and historians examines the global influence of American legal education. The essays are by no means formulaic, as the impact of American legal education is considered in the light of each country’s varied historical and political context, whether it be decolonization in Nigeria or post-Soviet experience in Estonia. The essays also eschew the simplistic and one-dimensional view that American legal education was accepted without question, as there was actual resistance on the part of France, for example, and Japan regarded it as irrelevant." -- Margaret Thornton, Professor of Law Emerita, The Australian National University"This excellent selection of essays presents the US law school in all its duality as both a powerful global cultural imaginary, and a highly contingent set of local practices. In its nuanced and geographically wide-ranging assessment of the ‘Americanization’ project, this book provides an important resource for scholars of the history and globalization of legal education." -- Julian Webb, Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School, Australia"Contributors to Bartie and Sandomierski’s volume present a critical history of the Americanization of legal education in fourteen countries. They argue that the second half of the twentieth century witnessed the export of power—both hard and soft—throughout the world, and they focus on the effect of US cultural and economic imperialism on legal education. Collectively, these studies challenge the conventional wisdom that American ideas and practices have dominated globally." * Law and Social Inquiry *"American Legal Education Abroad–Critical Histories is a book that deserves to be read by any legal scholar, particularly those interested in comparative legal history… it is an important contribution to the theory of legal transplants and adds a significant piece to the literature on the ‘Americanisation’ of law and legal culture." * Comparative Legal History *

New York University Press Stories from Trailblazing Women Lawyers
Book SynopsisThe captivating story of how a diverse group of women, including Janet Reno and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, broke the glass ceiling and changed the modern legal profession In Stories from Trailblazing Women Lawyers, award-winning legal historian Jill Norgren curates the oral histories of one hundred extraordinary American women lawyers who changed the profession of law. Many of these stories are being told for the first time. As adults these women were on the front lines fighting for access to law schools and good legal careers. They challenged established rules and broke the law's glass ceiling.Norgren uses these interviews to describe the profound changes that began in the late 1960s, interweaving social and legal history with the women's individual experiences. In 1950, when many of the subjects of this book were children, the terms of engagement were clear: only a few women would be admitted each year to American law schools and after graduation their professional opportunities would neveTrade Review"Stories from Trailblazing Women Lawyers is an inspirational story of individual successes and even more important, a historical analysis of the march toward improved gender equality in America." * Trial Magazine *"I cannot even begin to do justice to these stories, so I recommend it as reading for everyone. I have always considered Ruth Bader Ginsburg an inspiration, but now I know the names and stories of other trailblazers to admire: Ruth Abrams, Joanne Garvey, Constance Harvey, Herma Hill Kay, Shirley Hufstedler, Belva Lockwood, Janet Reno, Catherine Roraback, Norma Shapiro, Ada Shen-Jaffe, and so many more... Stories from Trailblazing Women Lawyers is not just the story of what women went through to attain their current place in the law, but an empowerment to keep the fight for equality going strong. This book is highly recommended for law school libraries." -- Law Library Journal"[A]n interesting look at the lives of women who joined the legal profession in the middle and later part of the last century...[I]t offers tales both fascinating and frustrating about barriers and burdens women suffered as they fought their way into the legal profession" -- The Champion"This remarkable volume collects the life and career stories of more than a hundred female lawyers, all part of the so-called 'second wave'of the movement, that is the period after women gained suffrage and other full citizenship rights. These are women who have written important scholarship, served as Deans of major institutions, risen to the highest ranks of law practice while also devising new forms of public service---their stories mark a true revolution in the profession. The production of the book itself is as remarkable as the content a vast collaborative effort of oral history taking and writing, now organized with an historians fine hand. It will be useful for years to all scholars of the legal profession as a model and an inspiration." -- Barbara Babcock,Crown Professor Emerita, Stanford Law School, author of Fish Raincoats, A Woman Lawyer's Life"Jill Norgren has written a compelling portrait of women on the front lines of the ongoing struggle for gender equality in the legal profession. Her book eloquently describes a central feature of the civil rights revolution that continues today, and reminds us not to take for granted the hard-won victories of those whose stories she tells." -- John Shattuck,author of Freedom on Fire: Human Rights Wars and America's Response"The words of the women lawyers here tell an inspiring yet sobering story of the path women lawyers blazed in the 20th century. They all, even the most successful and influential, faced the roadblocks of gender discrimination as they made their way through law school and up the professional ladder, and as they confronted the enduring challenge of balancing their personal and professional lives. Their stories are both a window into the past and a beacon for the future, revealing just how far women lawyers have advanced as well as what lies ahead in the 21st century." -- Virginia G.

New York University Press Fixing Law Schools
Book SynopsisAn urgent plea for much needed reforms to legal education The period from 2008 to 2018 was a lost decade for American law schools. Employment results were terrible. Applications and enrollment cratered. Revenue dropped precipitously and several law schools closed. Almost all law schools shrank in terms of students, faculty, and staff. A handful of schools even closed. Despite these dismal results, law school tuition outran inflation and student indebtedness exploded, creating a truly toxic brew of higher costs for worse results. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the subsequent role of hero-lawyers in the resistance has made law school relevant again and applications have increased. However, despite the strong early returns, we still have no idea whether law schools are out of the woods or not. If the Trump Bump is temporary or does not result in steady enrollment increases, more schools will close. But if it does last, we face another danger. We tend to hope that crises bring Trade Review"A swashbuckling and informative critique of legal education… Indispensable for law school personnel and for students contemplating attending law school" * Choice *"Barton provides an excellent exploration, in a very readable style, of what American law schools have experienced since the 2007 recession. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in legal education." * Canadian Law Library Review *"Fixing Law Schools is essential reading for anyone who cares about legal education or is thinking of getting one. With enormous insight, wit, and eloquence, Ben Barton describes the challenges facing law schools and their students, and the profession’s inadequate responses. At a time when Americans increasingly recognize the importance of the rule of law and reforms to the justice system, this book provides a blueprint for where to start." -- Deborah Rhode, Director, Center on the Legal Profession and E. W. McFarland Professor of Law, Stanford University"Nobody knows more about the state of legal education than Ben Barton, and in this tour-de-force he addresses everything from the past, to the present, to whether enrolling in law school is a good investment for the future.

University of Toronto Press Changing Legal Objectives
Book SynopsisThese essays were presented originally as lectures at the official ceremonies which marked the opening of the new Law Building in the University of Toronto. The book is intended to be a sharing of the ideas of the eminent lecturers with the community at large as well as a reminder of what was a happy and significant event in the life of one university. The theme running throughout the four essays is the phenomenon of law, like art, constantly racing to catch up with experience. Each author considers this phenomenon in the context of a problem on which he is a specialist. Cecil A. Wright opens the volume with a fresh and eloquent look at some basic questions in legal education: the place of the law school in the university, the lawyer's struggle with specifics under the shadow of general principles, the need for more understanding of the law in action, and the requirements of research in the social sciences. Principal J.A. Corry draws attention to the impress of social changes
