Law in Transition: A 25 Year Retrospective
Nicholas Rafferty and Richard Devlin FRSC
This book of essays was the brainchild of the former Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary, Connie Hunt. It was her belief that the Faculty of Law should provide some lasting contribution to celebrate the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the University of Calgary as an independent institution. This book represents the fruit of the Faculty's labours in that regard. The original idea was that the book would investigate, from an Albertan perspective, legal developments over the past twenty-five years. Thus, six of the nine articles included here adopt something of an Albertan focus. The other three, however, are more generally Canadian in their content, and one of these being a work on legal theory, both transcends boundaries and avoids any overt twenty-five year stance.

Canadian Perspectives on Legal Theory
Richard Devlin
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.
