For

the

past

twenty-two

years,

The

Advocates'

Society

Journal

has

played

a

unique

role

in

legal education

in

Ontario.

As a

publication dedicated

to

informing

advocates,

it has

brought together

the

ideas

of our

leading

legal

minds

to

provide experienced

and

insightful views

on

both

advoca-

cy

and

advocates. Indeed,

the

Journal

has

provided

a

veritable "how

to"

for

the

practice

of

advocacy

before courts

and

tribunals.

The

idea

of the

Journal

originated

in

1981

with

the

Publications

Committee

of The

Advocates'

Society,

under

the

chair

of

Brian J.E.

Brock,

Q.C.

The

Society

is

indebted

to

those

who

have

nurtured

its

development

by

contributing

the

ideas,

the

enthusiasm,

and the

editori-

al

skills

to

make

it a

readable

and

informative publication. This volume,

which brings together

the

"best articles

on

advocacy

...

ever,"

is a

reflec-

tion

of

their

foresight, dedication,

and

hard work.

In

this

regard

we owe

a

debt

of

gratitude

to
