The Hon R. Roy McMurtry

"I shall always be gratified that I had the opportunity to create the Osgoode Society in 1979 when I was the Attorney-General for Ontario. I had long been concerned about the lack of recorded legal history in Canada and the fact that most of it was simply being lost in the mists of time. I am enormously proud of what has been accomplished by our distinguished authors and editors in chiefs, the late Peter Oliver and Professor Jim Phillips. I am very pleased to be able to continue to be associated with the Osgoode Society."
- The Hon R. Roy McMurtry
