Since his call to the Bar in 1960, Martin L. Friedland has been involved in a number of important public policy issues, including bail, legal aid, gun control, securities regulation, access to the law, judicial independence and accountability, and national security. My Life in Crime and other Academic Adventures offers a first-hand account of the development of these areas of law from the perspective of a man who was heavily involved in their formation and implementation. It is also the story of a distinguished academic, author, and former dean of law at the University of Toronto. Moving beyond the boundaries of conventional memoir, Friedland offers an extended meditation on public policy issues and significant events in the field of law, discussing their historical impact and predicting the course of their future development. Given his personal experience, there is no other person more suited to discuss these hugely important issues. Friedland puts the law and legal institutions into a wider context, looking at the role of personalities, politics, and pressure groups in the establishment of laws that continue to have tremendous importance for Canadians. My Life in Crime and other Academic Adventures reflects upon a life devoted to education, scholarship, and the law, and is an insider account of public policy issues that have come to shape life in this country in the twentieth century and beyond.

Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of a Limb of the Law The law was originally designed for the furtherance of justice and the preservation of right, or, in other words, to [protect the innocent, and secure punishment to the guilty; but when instances daily occur of the very reverse of these principles prevailing, in the defeat of the honest man's claim, and in the rescinding of com tracts which parties entered into with their eyes open, either through the dexterity of counsel in discovering what is vulgarly termed a flaw, or from non-confon mity with some of those absurd Forms that have been handed down to us from time immemorial, and conse crated by use, an inference may fairly be drawn that the law has been perverted to uses for which it was never intended; and, instead of being a stafl' to the ia nocent and a terror to the guilty, it has thrown its shield around the dishonest and unprincipled portion of the community, for whose correction and punish ment it was intended.

"All were seminal tests of natural justice: union workers pilloried for refusing to work on a bridge they feared unsafe; a senior civil servant wrongfully dismissed and slandered by a vengeful politician; a Quaker thwarted by the government in her attempts to prevent her tax dollars from being used for military purposes; a girl rendered brain damaged and quadriplegic by a botched hospital procedure; a woman bereft of any memory of her early life by medical experimentation carried out without her consent, and more."--BOOK JACKET.

This print-on-demand title is available by request from most booksellers. -- A Quaker thwarted by the government in her attempts to prevent her tax dollars from being used for military purposes. A man wrongly convicted as an habitual criminal. A girl rendered brain damaged and quadriplegic by a botched hospital procedure. Tom Berger may be best known for championing aboriginal rights, including early advocacy work that led to the precendent-setting Nisga'a Accord, bu the has also had a great impact upon a panoply of causes, often representing those not well served by the legal and legislative status quo. His clients were often the poor, the vulnerable, the dispossessed. In a career that spans four decades in the law, Berger has taken on the challenge of many controversial cases in order to test or transform the application of justice within the law. Eleven major cases -- not all of them courtroom victories -- are featured in this compelling book. Excerpts of dramatic courtroom give-and-take, accounts of behind-the-scenes, at times spontaneous legal strategizing, all bring Berger's adventures in the law to vivid life. Rich characters people his recollections, from an aging judge brashly displaying his anti-union sentiments, to clients poignantly trying to reclaim some sense of dignity in lives that have been trampled by the machinations of the legal system. The "justice" that resulted from these cases benefited more than Berger's clients, and reached out to each and every one of us.

The essays in this volume reflect the exciting new directions in which legal history in the settler colonies of the British Empire has developed. The contributors show how local life and culture in selected settlements influenced, and was influenced by, the ideology of the rule of law that accompanied the British colonial project. Exploring themes of legal translation, local understandings, judicial biography, and "law at the boundaries," they examine the legal cultures of dominions in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to provide a contextual and comparative account of the "incomplete implementation of the British constitution" in these colonies.

Abroad at Home is a travelogue by Julian Street. Street was an American author and journalist who visited nearly all major cities in America and relayed his experiences to a wide readership. Excerpt: "Pushing on toward Buffalo as night was falling, my companion and I discussed the fellow travelers who had most engaged our notice: the young engineer from Buffalo, keen and alive, with a quick eye for the funny side of things; the hairless amorist; the genial bore, whose wife (we told ourselves) got very tired of him sometimes, but loved him just because he was so good; the pretty girl, who couldn't make her eyes behave because she was a pretty girl. We guessed what kind of house each one resided in, the kind of furniture they had, the kind of pictures on the walls, the kind of books they read—or didn't read. And I believed that we guessed right. Did we not even know what sort of underwear encased the ample figure of the man with the amazing memory of unessential things? And, while[ 18] touching on this somewhat delicate subject, were we not aware that if the alluring being who left the train, and us, at Rochester possessed the once-so-necessary garment called a petticoat, that petticoat was hanging in her closet?"

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901-02) is Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure. At the end of the yew tree path of his ancestral home, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead. Close by are the footprints of a gigantic hound. Called to investigate, Holmes seems to face a supernatural foe. In the tense narration of the detective's efforts to solve the crime, Conan Doyle meditates on late Victorian and early twentieth-century ideas of ancestry and atavism, the possible biological determination of criminals, the stability of the British landed classes, and the place of the supernatural. Historical documents included with this fully-annotated Broadview edition help contextualize the novel's debates and reveal its cultural and literary significance as a supreme instance of early detective fiction. Also included is the Conan Doyle short story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.”

Bullets rip the air, snapping past Clay Barlow's head as, riding Blue, he charges a band of robbers surrounding the Austin stagecoach. Clay lets loose with a load of buckshot from his 12-gauge Roper Repeating Shotgun. With his third blast, the robbers turn tail and race off into the Texas hill country, leaving one of their own dying in the hot Texas dust. At eighteen, Clay has been invited to join the Texas Rangers. Now, he rides to Austin to either put on the Rangers' badge, or fight for the law in Texas courts, fulfilling his parents wish that he becomes an attorney. Whether he protects Texas on the range or in the courtroom, his quick and deadly six-guns will not be stilled. Join Clay as his path takes him from brawls to blizzards to gunfights. The only question remaining, will he survive to choose between Law and Justice?

Sir Leon Radzinowicz is one of the key figures in the development of criminology in the twentieth century. This account of the development of criminology intertwines his personal narrative as a criminologist with the progression of criminology itself. His experience gained from a career which has spanned 70 years since the 1920s, offers a profound overview of how the understanding of crime and criminals, of criminal justice systems and penology has changed, and of the tensions and dilemmas these pose for democratic societies.
