As the leading legal historian of his generation in Canada and
professor at McGill University for over three decades, Blaine Baker
(1952–2018) was known for his unique personality, teaching style,
intellectual cosmopolitanism, and deep commitment to the place of
Canadian legal history in the curriculum of law faculties. Law,
Life, and the Teaching of Legal History examines important themes
in Canadian legal history through the prism of Baker’s career.
Essays discuss Baker’s own research, his influence within
McGill’s law faculty, his complex personality, and the
relationship between the private and the public in the life of a
university intellectual at the turn of the twenty-first century.
Inspired by topics Baker took up in his own writing, contributors
use Baker’s broad interests in legal culture to reflect on
fundamental themes across Canadian legal history, including legal
education, gender and race, technology, nation building and
national identity, criminal law and marginalized populations, and
constitutionalism. Law, Life, and the Teaching of Legal History
offers a contemporary analysis of Canadian legal history and
thoughtfully engages with what it means to honour one
individual’s enduring legacy in the study of law.
