Description
This collection of Canadian legal history essays honours Professor
Peter Oliver, who led the Osgoode Society as editor-in-chief from its
establishment until his death in 2006. The essays are written by
Osgoode Society authors, and/or by students and colleagues of Peter's
at York University, and include almost all the major figures working
in the field of Canadian legal history today. The introduction
provides a history of the Osgoode Society and of Peter's role in it.
The volume is a fitting tribute to an extraordinary life and career.
