Books in the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History (Paperback) series

This collection of essays, Volume VII in the Osgoode Society's series of Essays in the History of Canadian Law, is the first focused study of a variety of law firms and how they have evolved over a century and a half, from the golden age of the sole practitioner in the pre-industrial era to the recent rise of the mega-firm.

Thematic rather that chronological in approach, this fascinating legal biography provides both a history of a uniquely Canadian career and an interpretation of its significance for James McGregor Stewart's time and ours.

Patrick Brode has produced a fascinating study of government hesitancy surrounding war crime prosecutions in Casual Slaughters and Accidental Judgments, a history of Canada's prosecution of war crimes committed during the Second World War.
