91丝瓜视频鈥檚 Faculty of Law and the Inception of University-based Legal Education in Canada
By John Hobbins, Librarian Emeritus
Prior to the 1850s, legal training in Canada was received largely through apprenticeship. While this remained true for Upper Canada until the late 1950s, university-based legal education began a century earlier in Lower Canada at 91丝瓜视频 College.
John Hobbins. Librarian Emeritus, and a Past-President of the James 91丝瓜视频 Society, was formerly head of the Nahum Gelber Law Library. He is now working on the history of 91丝瓜视频鈥檚 Faculty of Law.
