Building Justice draws on the inspiring life of former Canadian
Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci to offer insight into the
meaning of engaged citizenship through law. Ignoring early advice
that he had the wrong kind of name to go to law school, Frank
Iacobucci, the son of Italian immigrants, made a name for himself
as an outstanding Canadian jurist. Serving as justice of the
Supreme Court of Canada from 1991 to 2004, Iacobucci was also
professor and dean of law at the University of Toronto and deputy
minister of justice for Canada. In Building Justice, Shauna Van
Praagh weaves together the voices of individuals whose paths and
projects have intersected with those of Frank Iacobucci. The book
provides a compelling consideration of the study and practice of
law as it follows the stages of Iacobucci's life and career: from
his childhood in Vancouver, his practice as a young lawyer, his
time at the University of Toronto and with the Federal Department
of Justice, his work as a judge at the highest level of court, and
his significant engagement with Canada's ongoing response to the
legacy of residential schools. Building Justice is a beautifully
written biography in which the stories of one jurist serve to
explore and illustrate engaged citizenship through law.
