As the flagship

of

Upper Canada,

the

Special

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

interna-

tional prominence

to

share their ideas

and

perspectives

on a

particular

area

of law

with

the

membership.

The

Special Lectures publications

have become

a

tradition

in

their

own

right,

enjoying

a

high level

of

ded-

icated readership.

Special

negotiating, performing, enforcing,

and

of

land. This publication will

be an

invaluable ref-

erence

for

both barristers

many years

to
