Une histoire de la Faculté de droit de la Université Laval (Les Presses de lUniversité Laval, Québec, 2005), xviii + 265 págs. Sylvio Normand es profesor de Historia del Derecho y de Derecho de Bienes en la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Laval, curiosa combinación que también se da en otros casos en universidades norteamericanas como en el del conocido catedrático de la Escuela Dedman de Derecho de la Southern Methodist University Joseph W. McKnight, que enseña esas dos mismas materias y además es el máximo especialista en la difusión del Derecho castellano en el territorio de Texas. Normand es Vicedecano de la Facultad de Derecho de su Universidad y es autor de un elevado número de publicaciones sobre la Historia del Derecho quebequense y sobre el Derecho romano y su enseñanza en el Québec. De hecho ha dirigido un proyecto de investigación entre 1997 y 2000 sobre la influencia del Derecho romano en la cultura jurídica del Québec durante los siglos XIX y XX, en el que ha contado con la colaboración con Ella Hermon, Jacques L Heureux, Martine Dumais y Donald Fyson. Ha publicado en esta línea diversos trabajos, aparte de una Introduction au droit des biens (Montréal, 2000), como son: "Le droit romain comme source du Code civil du Bas-Canada", recogido en La Revue du Notariat, 103 (2001), pp. 87-113; "Le droit romain dans le droit coutumier du Bas-Canada selon François-Maximilien Bibaud" y "Droit romain et codification du droit privé au Bas- Canada: les sources utilisées par les commissaires", ambos aparecidos en La question agraire à Rome: droit romain et société. Perceptions historiques et historiographiques, un libro de conjunto editado en 1999, pp. 165-173 y 175-183. Partiendo de la idea de la consolidación en Québec del derecho como disciplina universitaria, lo que da origen a la primera parte del título del libro, en realidad lo que ha escrito es una historia de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Laval, desde sus antecedentes y la constitución de la misma hasta los años ochenta del pasado siglo. En Québec no se contaba con la tradición europea de las enseñanzas jurídicas en la Universidad. Además incluso en la etapa fundacional de la Facultad de Leyes a que nos referimos e, incluso, hasta bien avanzado el siglo XX, el profesorado universitario que enseñaba Derecho no eran docentes formados para la enseñanza y la investigación, sino abogados, jueces, notarios, políticos, que dedicaban unas pocas horas de su habitual dedicación profesional a la impartición al elemento discente de materias jurídicas en una Facultad. Ello repercutía considerablemente en que propiamente había que hablar de una instrucción, no de una formación jurídica. Pero hasta que se constituyó la Facultad, la instrucción y preparación de abogados y notarios no se hacía en ilustradas sedes jurídicas, sino en los despachos de abogados y de notarios donde se preparaba a los futuros candidatos para la superación de unas pruebas que les darían acceso al ejercicio profesional de la correspondiente profesión jurídica. Estamos hablando de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, cuando en Francia, Italia, Alemania, Portugal, España, etc., estaban perfectamente consolidados los estudios jurídicos en las Universidades desde hacía siglos, aunque bien es verdad que las enseñanzas jurídicas a lo largo del siglo XIX sufrieron una serie de convulsiones, transformaciones y cambios en profundidad, como no se habían dado en siglos precedentes y como tampoco llegaron a darse en el siglo XX en todas partes. Joseph-François Perrault, aparte de autor destacadísimo de textos para la enseñanza del derecho penal, fue célebre por sus intentos de establecer unas bases de cara a la instrucción de los futuros juristas y constituye un precedente notable antes de la fundación de la Universidad de Laval. Revista de Estudios Histórico-Jurídicos ISSN Impreso: 0716-5455 Número XXVIII, 2006 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile Son muy numerosos los juristas quebequenses que han estudiado Leyes en la Universidad de Laval, pero también en otras como la McGill o la de Sherbrooke. Aparte hay algunos que se han formado en otros ámbitos del propio Canadá, en EE.UU. o en Francia, Inglaterra o Escocia. En el Diccionario crítico de juristas españoles, portugueses y latinoamericanos (hispánicos, brasileños, quebequenses y restantes francófonos) se recogerán un total de 3.003 juristas entre el vol. I y II, 1º y 2º. En este segundo tomo del vol. II aparecerán un total de 1.600 juristas en Apéndice de las letras A a la Z. Sin embargo, no son muchos los de la Nueva Francia, Bajo Canadá, quebequenses y francófonos de los territorios americanos de influencia francesa que van a aparecer. No todos se formaron en la Universidad de Laval, pero sí una parte considerable de ellos lo hizo desde la fundación de la Facultad de Derecho en 1854.

    Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country.

  • The Four Courts of Sir Lyman Duff
    THE FOUR COURTS OF SIR LYMAN DUFF RICHARD GOSSE* Vancouver I. Introduction. Sir Lyman Poore Duff is the dominating figure in the Supreme Court of Canada's first hundred years. He sat on the court for more than one-third of those years, in the middle period, from 1906 to 1944, participating in nearly 2,000 judgments-and throughout that tenure he was commonly regarded as the court's most able judge. Appointed at forty-one, Duff has been the youngest person ever to have been elevated to the court. Twice his appointment was extended by special Acts of Parliament beyond the mandatory retirement age of seventy-five, a recogni- tion never accorded to any other Canadian judge. From 1933, he sat as Chief Justice, having twice previously-in 1918 and 1924 - almost succeeded to that post, although on those occasions he was not the senior judge. During World War 1, when Borden considered resigning over the conscription issue and recommending to the Governor General that an impartial national figure be called upon to form a government, the person foremost in his mind was Duff, although Sir Lyman had never been elected to public office. After Borden had found that he had the support to continue himself, Duff was invited to join the Cabinet but declined. Mackenzie King con- sidered recommending Duff for appointment as the first Canadian Governor General. Duff undertook several inquiries of national interest for the federal government, of particular significance being the 1931-32 Royal Commission on Transportation, of which he was chairman, and the 1942 investigation into the sending of Canadian troops to Hong Kong, in which he was the sole commissioner .

  • THE MINISTRY 71 2.—The Ministry. a System of Government Based Upon
    THE MINISTRY 71 2.—The Ministry. A system of government based upon the British, by which a Cabinet or Ministry (composed of members of the House of Commons or the Senate), responsible to Parliament, holds office while it enjoys the confidence of the people's representatives, is found in Canada. The Cabmet is actually a committee of the King's Privy Council for Canada. Without enlarging upon the features of the system, it may be sufficient to note that the Cabmet is responsible to the House of Commons, and, following established precedent, resigns office when it becomes evident that it no longer holds the confidence of the people's representatives. Members of the Cabinet are chosen by the Prime Minister; each of them generally assumes charge of one of the various Departments of the Government, although one Minister may hold two portfolios at the same time, while other members may be without portfolio. The Prime Ministers since Confederation and the dates of their tenures of office, together with the members of the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth Minis­ tries, as on June 28, 1926, Aug. 31, 1926, and Oct. 15, 1926, are given in Table 2. 2.—Ministries since Confederation. NOTE.—A complete list of the members of Dominion Ministries from Confederation to 1913 appeared in the \ear Book of 1912, pp. 422-429. A list of the members of Dominion Ministries from 1911 to 1921 appeared in the Year Book of 1920, pp. 651-653. 1. Rt. Hon. Sir John A. Maodonald, Premier. From July 1,1867 to Nov. 6,1873.

  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

  • L'absence De Généraux Canadiens-Français Combattants
    Où sont nos chefs? L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939-1945). Par : Alexandre Sawyer Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales À titre d’exigence partielle en vue de l’obtention d’un doctorat en histoire Université d’Ottawa © Alexandre Sawyer, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ii RÉSUMÉ Le nombre d’officiers généraux canadiens-français qui ont commandé une brigade ou une division dans l’armée active durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est presque nul. On ne compte aucun commandant de division francophone dans l’armée outre-mer. Dans les trois premières années de la guerre, seulement deux brigadiers canadiens-français prennent le commandement de brigades à l’entrainement en Grande-Bretagne, mais sont rapidement renvoyés chez eux. Entre 1943 et 1944, le nombre de commandants de brigade francophones passe de zéro à trois. L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants (à partir du grade de major-général) durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale s’explique par plusieurs facteurs : le modèle britannique et l’unilinguisme anglais de la milice, puis de l’armée canadienne, mais aussi la tradition anti-impérialiste et, donc, souvent antimilitaire des Canadiens français. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, aucun officier canadien n’est réellement capable de commander une grande unité militaire. Mais, a-t-on vraiment le choix? Ces officiers sont les seuls dont dispose le Canada. Quand les troupes canadiennes sont engagées au combat au milieu de 1943, des officiers canadiens, plus jeunes et beaucoup mieux formés prennent la relève. À plus petite échelle, le même processus s’opère du côté francophone, mais plus maladroitement.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

C’est dans ce contexte que s’articule la pensée politique de Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau. Influencé par les idées de Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine et de George-Étienne Cartier, le jeune politicien est séduit par l’idée d’une nouvelle nation politique réunissant les deux peuples fondateurs formant alors le Canada. La pensée nationaliste de Chapleau se caractérise alors par un double idéal, soit celui de défendre les intérêts des Canadiens français tout en préservant l’unité de la Confédération canadienne. Au moment de la Grande Dépression de 1873, le politicien parvient à adapter sa pensée en regard du contexte économique difficile et domine ses adversaires, particulièrement les Castors : ce groupe de Conservateurs ultramontains dissidents des politiques de Chapleau. Ces derniers l’accusent de s’être allié aux Libéraux. Une fois sur la scène fédérale, Chapleau espère réaffirmer l’alliance entre les deux principales nations au Canada, mais se retrouve confronté à l’Affaire Riel qui ébranle le pays en entier. À partir de ce moment, la pensée politique de l’homme ne se retrouve plus en phase avec le contexte dans lequel il se trouve, ce qui motive ses nombreuses défaites personnelles dans les années qui suivent.

Abstract The Great War was a formative event for men who came of age between 1914 and 1918. They believed the experience forged them into a distinct generation. This collective identification more than shaped a sense of self; it influenced understanding of the conflict’s meaning. Canadian historians, however, have overlooked the war’s generational impact, partly because they reject notions of a disillusioned Lost Generation. Unlike European or American youths, it is argued that Canadian veterans did not suffer postwar disillusionment. Rather, they embraced the war alongside a renewed Canadian nationalism.

    834 HISTORY OF QUEBEC. as President of the Quebec Association of Architects, which post he now fills with much acceptability. To !?how he has a comprehensive knowledge of the principles and details of building construction and architecture, it is sufficient to enumerate the following magnificent buildings he has de- signed in Montreal, which stand for the beautification of the city, namely, the Board of Trade Building, Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, Olivet Baptist Church, the new Medical Building of McGill University, and the Children's Memorial Hospital, now in course of construction. Mr. Brown has also constructed several large manufacturing and com- mercial establishments, among which may be mentioned the following plants: The Standard Shirt Company, Southam Building on Alexander Street, Jenkins Bros., Limited, and the Canadian Spool Cotton Company at Maisonneuve, the latter being the Canadian business of the firm of J. & P. Coates, of Paisley, Scotland. Mr. Brown is a member of the Architectural League of New York and a member of the Montreal Board of Trade. Both his public and private life have been characterized by the utmost fidelity of duty, and he stands as a high type of honorable citizenship and straight- forward manhood, enjoying the confidence and winning the respect of all with whom he has been brought in contact in business life. In 1900 Mr. Brown married Harriet Fairbairn Eobb, second daughter of William Robb, City Treasurer, Montreal. He is a member of the Canada Club, the Manitou Club, the Beaconsfield Golf Club, and the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club. CLEOPHAS EDOUARD LECLERC.
