ACK NOW LED GEM ENTS

from the First Edition

I should underline, at the outset, that the offer from the publishers to

write this book came as a result of a suggestion to them by my colleague

Louise Otis, following a panel on ethics in criminal law which was

held in Montreal a few years ago and had a great success among the

practitioners.

The realization of a lifetime project of this magnitude could not

have been achieved without the contribution and support of so many

great scholars and friends.

I am particularly indebted to my co-author who made this book

possible. His passion for the subject and his dedication to quality in

research were truly remarkable.

I would also like to thank the following, throughout Canada, for

their comments on the text and their valuable time. My colleagues

Moldaver, J.A., The Honourable Fred Kaufman, Bruno Pateras, Q.C.,
