Description

A history of Saskatchewan’s highest court on its centennial, The Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan places the court within the context of Canadian law and shows how the court contributed to the province’s legal, political, and social development. Tying together legal analysis with a compelling narrative, David Mittelstadt includes a biography of each judge who ever sat on the court, discusses the role of patronage and political partisanship in judicial appointments, and relates some of the touchstone legal decisions that influenced both the province and the nation.
