Description
The purpose of this book is to fill, what I perceive to be, a serious gap in Canadian legal education materials: the absence of a contemporary and indigenously Canadian book on jurisprudence. All too often, those of us who teach legal theory are forced to draw upon either British or American sources or to create our own in-house materials. Even in the latter scenario, however, there is a tendency to incorporate primarily non-Canadian sources. There is, of course, nothing wrong with free trade in scholarship, but here is something amiss when Canadian jurists get short shrift in the process. This collection does, I believe, present a reasonably comprehensive introduction to the primary issues and competing perspectives that currently capture the Canadian legal theoretical imagination.
