Summary:

The Law Society of Upper Canada adhered to the traditions of English legal practice and education. In the 1930s and 1940s, however, some of those traditions were challenged in a bitter debate about the nature of legal education in Ontario. This book tells the story of that debate and one of its leading participants, Cecil Augustus Wright.
