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 suggest ion to them by my colleague

Louise Otis, following a pa nel on ethics in crim inal law which was

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

practitioners.

The realization of a lifetime project of this m agnitude could not

have been achieved without the contribution and support of so many

great scholars and fr iends.

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

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

research were tr uly remarkable.

I would also like to than k the following, throughout Canada, for

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