Drawing on engaging case studies, Essays in History of Canadian Law
brings the law to life. The contributors to this collection provide
rich historical and social context for each case, unravelling the
process of legal decision-making and explaining the impact of the
law on the people involved in legal disputes. Examining the law not
simply as legislation and institutions, but as discourse, practice,
symbols, rhetoric, and language, the chapters show the law as both
oppressive and constraining and as a point of contention and means
of resistance. This collection presents new approaches and
concerns, as well as re-examinations of existing themes with new
evidence and modes of storytelling. Contributors cover many
thematic areas, from criminal to labour, civil, administrative, and
human rights law, spanning English and French Canada, and ranging
from the mid-eighteenth century to the late twentieth century. The
legal cases vary from precedent-setting cases to lesser-known ones,
from those driven by one woman’s quest for personal justice to
others in which state actors dominate. Bringing to light how the
people embroiled in these cases interacted with the legal system,
the book reveals the ramifications of a legal system characterized
by multiple layers of inequality.
