| | The Fiercest Debate: Cecil A. Wright, the Benchers, and Legal Education in Ontario, 1923--1957 by Mark Macguigan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | This is a history of legal education in Ontario, principally between the years 1923 and 1957, related in the context of the life of Dr C.A. Wright, professor of law at Osgoode Hall Law School from 1927 to 1949 and dean of the University of Toronto Law School from 1949 until his death in 1967. |
 | | The terminal year of the study, 1957, was the year in which the Benchers finally accepted university legal education: three years of law at university, followed by a year of office apprenticeship, with a fifth year of practical instruction in a bar admission course. |
 | | That is still the requirement today, but the authors note the later arrangement between the Benchers and York University to transfer the law school to that university in 1968, thus putting it into exactly the same position as other university law schools. |
