Preface

The Law

Upper Canada Special Lectures series

was

inaugu-

rated

in

1943

and has

been

a

regular yearly event

in the

Continuing

Legal

Education Program

almost

60

years.

As the flagship

program

of

The Law

Society

the

Special Lectures series

is

well known

for its

exceptional quality,

high

calibre

of

speakers,

and

extreme usefulness

for

those

who

attend.

Each year,

the

Lectures bring together legal experts

of

national

and

international prominence

to

share their ideas

and

perspec-

tives

on a

particular area

of law

with

the

membership.

We are

pleased

to

present

Special

Lectures

2001:

Constitutional

and

Administrative

Law. This

significant

publication prepared

by a

distin-

guished

faculty,

explores

key

issues

in

depth

in

this,

the

first

Special

Lectures

since 1978 devoted

to

constitutional law,

and the

first

since

1992

devoted

to

administrative law.

The

many important topics con-

tained

in

these Special Lectures

are

dealt with knowledgeably

and

con-

cisely

and

will

be

invaluable

to all

practitioners with

a

thirst

for

knowledge

in

these important areas

of

law.

I

would like

to

extend

my

sincere appreciation

on

behalf

of the Law

Society

is

contained herein

for
