Written by fifteen historians, Law, Life, and the Teaching of Legal History examines important themes in Canadian legal history through the prism of Baker’s career. A first group of essays discusses Baker’s own research, his influence within McGill’s law faculty, his complex personality, and the relationship between the private and the public in the life of a university intellectual at the turn of the twenty-first century. Additional essays, inspired by topics Baker took up in his own writing, use Baker’s broad interests in legal culture to reflect on fundamental themes across Canadian legal history, including legal education, gender and race, technology, nation building and national identity, criminal law and marginalized populations, and constitutionalism. Law, Life, and the Teaching of Legal History offers contemporary analysis of Canadian legal history and thoughtfully engages with what it means to honour one individual’s enduring legacy in the study of law."-- |
