Canadian Bar Review – Volume 96 is complete

The third and final issue of Volume 96 of the Canadian Bar Review was posted online at the end of December.

This final issue from 2018 contains articles looking at topics of interest to both the practice and theory of law. Here’s a just taste of what you’ll find in this issue, from co-Editors in Chief David Tanovich and Christopher Waters, and Associate editor Patrice Deslauriers:

• ABBEY ROAD: THE (ONGOING) JOURNEY TO RELIABLE EXPERT EVIDENCE by Jason Chin of the University of Queensland looks at R v Abbey, the leading opinion on specialized knowledge. (Available in English only)
• LAWYERS’ MONOPOLY? THINK AGAIN: THE REALITY OF NON-LAWYER LEGAL SERVICE PROVISION IN CANADA by Lisa Trabucco at the University of Windsor argues that “lawyers’ claims for a monopoly are inconsistent with both the extent and quality of non-lawyer legal service provision in Canada.” (Available in English only)
• LOI SUR LE RECOUVREMENT DE CERTAINES CRÉANCES: LOI D’ORDRE PUBLIC, À TEMPS PARTIEL, by Vincent Caron of the University of Ottawa, looks at a law that is not only erratically respected or enforced, but whose violation is “sometimes excused or timidly sanctioned by the courts.” (Available in French only)

You can find all three issues of Vol. 96, as well as past volumes, online at cbr.cba.org.
