Review

Chistopher Moore has written an engaging history of the British Columbia Court of Appeal. The personalities of the judges, the problems they confronted, and the context in which they worked all come very much alive. This book provides the reader with a clear picture of the evolution of one of Canada's most important legal institutions.
– Robert J. Sharpe is a Justice of the Court of Appeal for Ontario and co-author of The Persons Case: The Origins and Legacy of the Fight for Legal Personhood

The book clearly makes a useful contribution to the field of legal history – the British Columbia Court of Appeal is largely untilled soil. And the subject is important: witness the fact that the court’s centenary is also being marked by a conference, a special issue of BC Studies, a video, and a special issue of the Advocate.

– Hamar Foster, Faculty of Law, University of Victoria

This is an original contribution to knowledge of this important judicial institution ... one that ... will increas[e awareness of our legal institutions and their impact in society.
– John McLaren, Faculty of Law, University of Victoria

Product Description

Courts of law at once reflect and shape the society in which they reside and dispense justice. To mark the 2010 centenary of the British Columbia Court of Appeal, this book presents an institutional, jurisprudential, and biographical account of the court and its evolving role in the province. Richly illustrated and replete with group portraits of judges and accounts of key cases, this authoritative history explores how the court came into being, how it has operated, and who its judges have been. In the process, it tells the story of how the court has shaped – and been shaped by – the social, political, and legal development of British Columbia.
