 Law School Goes Global   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Last week, the University of Toronto law professor was put under investigation for her alleged role in a scandal surrounding students accused of submitting inflated marks to law firms.
After leaving, he told Ultra Vires, the law school's student newspaper, that his old school was "unreflectively drifting towards an Americanization of legal education." According to several University of Toronto law professors, another critic of Mr.
Daniels' program of globalizing the law school sound very much like the Canadian pundits and activists who oppose globalization in the world at large: They appear to be cultural protectionists who worry it will destroy what makes Canadian institutions distinct.

 Slaw | Archive | Teaching Legal Research at the University of Toronto
At Dean Mayo Moran's prompting, the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto is reconsidering how to teach legal research and writing to law students, with the goal of ensuring that graduates know how to find the law, and conduct effective legal research.
No law school appears to have found the magic bullet, and if they had persuading a fiercely independent faculty to adopt change is always an interesting challenge.
And, I’m sure that all of the schools of study from which those students came would benefit from the contributions of scores of talented students who stay in their undergraduate fields for post-graduate work rather than moving to law.

 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.

Either way, Pomerantz convinced a sold-out audience at the the Law School Gala recently, that, he is, in fact, a very funny lawyer.
As the opening number of a show that featured former graduates of the University of Toronto Law School, such as Justice Rosalie Abella, former premier of Ontario Bob Rae, Justice Frank Iacobucci, and University of Toronto Chancellor Hal Jackman, Pomerantz managed to warm up the audience with his self-deprecating sense of humour.

 Bora Laskin Law Library - Guide to Legal Research - Treaties and Other Sources of International Law
Many major research guides, textbooks, and treatises in international law introduce the sources of international law by referring to Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice.
One may look also to the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties for guidance on norms governing the internpretation of treaties, but as the ICJ Statute indicates, treaties are only only one source of international law.

TORONTO, June 9 - The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Quebec law banning private medical insurance in a decision that represents an acute blow to the publicly financed national health care system.
Patrick Monahan, dean of the Osgoode Hall Law School of York University in Toronto and a well-known critic of the national health care system, was even more emphatic about the import of the decision.
Margaret Somerville, professor of law and medicine at McGill University, said the ruling "is extremely important" in large part because "the provinces that want to run some form of a complementary private system would probably be able to do so now."
