edited by Jim Phillips, Professor of Law, University of Toronto, R.Roy McMurtry, President of the Osgoode Society, and John Saywell, Professor of History Emeritus, York University. Published with the University of Toronto Press, 2008.

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.
