  McGill University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McGill's main campus is set upon 32 hectares (80 acres) at the foot of Mount Royal in Montreal's downtown district.
McGill was largely out of reach to the 10,000 francophone graduates of the newly-created CEGEP system who had nowhere else to go, locally, to continue their studies.
The remainder of undergraduate students are enrolled in McGill's smaller schools, including the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Law, Desautels Faculty of Management, Faculty of Medicine, Schulich School of Music, and the Faculty of Religious Studies.

 McGill University Faculty of Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Faculty of Law is a constituent faculty of McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec.
It is the oldest law faculty in Canada and was officially created in 1848, as a response to a petition from 23 young men who had been studying independently for the bar.
In 2005, McGill was one of a handful of leading law faculties (including Michigan, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, NYU, Geneva and Strasbourg) to be invited by the International Court of Justice to supply clerks to the Judges.

 SSRN-The Reach of Patent Law and Institutional Competence by Richard Gold
University of Ottawa Law & Technology Journal, Vol.
This surreptitious adoption of libertarian analysis is particularly disconcerting because it enables courts to avoid addressing the ethical and distributional effects of patent determinations.
In contrast, the author notes with approval that the Supreme Court of Canada in Harvard Mouse has resisted the trend toward stealth libertarianism by acknowledging that the patentability of higher life forms requires a level of analysis that exceeds the bounds of judicial competence.

When exercises of public power conform to the demands of that authorisation — the demands of the rule of law, of fairness and reasonableness — they respect the autonomy and dignity of the legal subject in whom the authorisation of public authority ultimately lies.
This is why the primary fiduciary duty is one of loyalty, and why public authority owes loyalty to the people subject to it as much as they have an obligation to obey the laws announced and enforced on their behalf.
Justifying common law duties of fairness and reasonableness is one of the principal challenges of public law.
