We are pleased to have Professor Jim Phillips, one of Canada's, and the world's, leading legal historians visit us. Professor Phillips will provide general remarks on the field of legal history before exploring the subjects addressed by his recent book: the law governing married women in the later nineteenth century as well as the operation of the civil courts, the forensic skills of leading members of the Ontario legal profession, constitutional law, and parliamentary divorce during this time.
